Here come the critics, demanding an overhaul of the NFL overtime system after Patrick Mahomes stood helpless on the sidelines Sunday evening as the New England Patriots drove for an overtime touchdown to beat the Kansas City Chiefs 37-31.
And so it was that one of the participants in Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta was determined as if it were a game of chance.
Except, of course, that it wasn’t a coin flip that decided the game. It was the Chiefs’ horrible defense that denied Mahomes and put the Patriots in the Super Bowl.
My response?
