On the Kansas City Chiefs’ second drive of Super Bowl LIV, they set Twitter on fire with a play that quickly was chalked up to some Andy Reid voodoo magic.
But that play, it turns out, is at least a decade older than the 61-year-old Reid is.
The Chiefs faced a 4th-and-1 from the San Francisco 49ers’ 5-yard line, trailing 3-0 near the end of the first quarter. Patrick Mahomes lined up in a short pistol formation, but with an inverted wishbone backfield — three men behind him.
Oh yes, this was old school.
