On 3rd-and-9 with 1:35 left in the 2024 AFC Championship, the Kansas City Chiefs needed a conversion to secure a trip to a third straight Super Bowl. Of course, in true Andy Reid fashion, the Chiefs looked to pass the ball, even though a stoppage of the clock could extend the Buffalo Bills' chances.
In this massive moment, surely the Chiefs would try to get the ball to their dynastic tight end Travis Kelce, right? Or maybe the fastest man in the NFL, Xavier Worthy? Nope. The only designed target on this massive down was a player the Chiefs signed in August: running back Samaje Perine.
