On this day in the 2019 NFL playoffs, the Kansas City Chiefs faced the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship Game and Patrick Mahomes managed one of the most iconic plays of his career. Unlike many of the other iconic plays in the NFL, this one was made on the ground and not with his arm.
The second quarter of the game was winding down, the Chiefs were trailing by three and found themselves just on the other side of the Titans’ 30-yard-line. With just 23 seconds remaining, Mahomes would scramble for a touchdown, in a play that has become known by fans as “The Run.” This gave the team a 21-14 lead over Tennessee heading into halftime and helped them punch their ticket to Super Bowl LIV — making their first Super Bowl appearance and eventual win in 50 seasons.
