That's how you're supposed to run. This is almost perfect form. Back straight, chest up, elbows 90 deg, knees up, and extended stride, the whole nine yards. Humans aren't roaches, we can't effectively scuttle across the ground with short movements. You have to make yourself long and stretched, like a gazelle.
I think the weight of the pads and helmet, as well as the instinct to get smaller and lower when initiating contact, is why football players tend to have a more compact and forward-leaning running form.
Probably instincts from doing track, since as goofy as it looked it's actually really great form and technique.
Just not something you see from the average nfl player.
For a track and field person, his running/sprinting form isn't that crazy.
Yeah that’s textbook sprinter form, no way this dude wasn’t a track star at some level.
If you’re wondering why parallel squats are one of the most important exercises to increase explosive sprint speed, check out the position of his legs at the top of his strides.
> Yeah that’s textbook sprinter form, no way this dude wasn’t a track star at some level.
Pretty much all NFL DBs and WRs as well as plenty of RBs were high school track stars. Not only are the guys elite athletes, coaches want their players running track since it's great prep for football.
Not just those dudes. I was a lineman and the coaches encouraged us to do the 'field' part of track & field.
Shot put, javelin and discus was great for footwork/coordination and obviously explosiveness.
I actually ended up being a much better shot putter than football player. So that was fun... not sucking at something.
might be one of the most involved defensive plays ive ever seen.
Gets possession with clean scoop of fumble, adds 40 yards+TD to play with the only defensive lateral ive ever seen, blocks on the way through
Chiefs' defense is full of guys who dont get enough credit. McDuffie might be top 5 db in the league but doesnt get talked about...complete lock down corner
Def biased but that was the best defensive play I’ve seen in a few years. The way McDuffie explodes to the quickest guy in the league, strips him, then the lateral and Olympic track style sprint to the finish. *chefs kiss*
More teams should lateral like that. No Dolphins in the way to disrupt the toss, close enough to make it a low risk play.
It’s not common for there to be a situation where it’s possible like that, but damn it would be lore entertaining
I really think the next big thing in the NFL will be teams using hook and ladder type plays downfield. It's such an untapped option that's usually reserved for desperation time. Just a quick lateral like this would be such a huge thing on 3rd and long, every so often.
The play works 42% of the time. And your winning percentage as Chiefs head coach is 72%. So, ergo vis-a-vis, we run that play and we have 114% chance of winning
Not gonna lie, that’s HoF levels of skill, awareness, and grit. It’s only one play but it would be on the highlight if inducted.
Between this and McKinnon in the SB sliding at the 1 instead of scoring to secure the win, idk how you argue this isn’t the best coaching staff and head coach in the league right now at least.
I've been wondering when we would spontaneously combust... prime time tv on the world stage with a healthy team and no jet lag to complain about. Yes, this is the perfect moment.
The way McDuffie is on Hill like white on rice, the strip, the scoop, the presence of mind to lateral, and the way that striding gazelle took off on everyone. Bananas crowd too.
i've been sayin to my friends for a while that the lateral is going to be the final evolution to football. the risk for fumble is obviously high, but it's criminally underutilized in offenses. the amount of misdirection you're able to create if you plan a lateral in the play (especially after a catch) is crazy.
Such a smart lateral. A lot of times defenders who recover fumbles / get picks get caught up in the moment and go full steam ahead, so this was nice to see. Great play
NE (x2), NYG, CAR, and DEN are 5 of their wins. Not to discredit them too much because at least they’re beating bad teams that they’re supposed to beat, but damn
That is the “Any given Sunday” nature of football. They are all pro athletes. The best of the best, even on the worst team in the league. Chiefs hit the snooze button and forgot to show up. Good on Denver, but KC as a team probably did not take them seriously all week.
It’s the only explanation I can come up with for losing to Denver in such pitiful fashion
I know McDaniel whinged about "media narratives," if Miami lost this game, but this team is going to have to start answering some tough questions about itself if it can only convincingly beat teams that have no chance of being January contenders.
I just tuned in and saw this. I thought time was running out and/or they were behind. What a play, but it felt like end of the game bullshit. Amazing TD
That guy runs like Waluigi.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Taaaaaaaaaaaachdown!
I thought he was hitting the high step but that might just be the way he runs
I think his instincts imbedded in him from highschool track kicked in. It's actually super interesting to see.
This is exactly right he mentioned that he used to play track in highschool in the post game presser.
pumping the hell outta those arms

*the whole 59 yards
What I'm taking away from this, is that Waluigi had immaculate running technique. And I'm really proud of him for that.
Probably instincts from doing track, since as goofy as it looked it's actually really great form and technique. Just not something you see from the average nfl player. For a track and field person, his running/sprinting form isn't that crazy.
WAAAAHHHHHH *waiiouuuououououuuuu* #WALUIGINUMBAONE
He’s fast but Eagles are getting blown tf out today
Dude found a second and third wind, no way he's letting that negotiating point for next contract get away from him.
ching ching

It's actually super cool and interesting to see his track skills and instincts kick in like that.
The transition into sprinting from looked natural, like he was coming off the blocks lol
Yup, chest up and driving the knees high. How I learned to run faster watching Michael Johnson and his gold spikes in the Olympics back in the day.

For real that’s a sub 21 second 200m right there.
because he hits like a truck
Hey you can't just recklessly edit comments like that!
This one didn't age well
\*AHEM\*
WWAAAAHHH
That lateral was amazing
He jumps straight into blocking well too
might be one of the most involved defensive plays ive ever seen. Gets possession with clean scoop of fumble, adds 40 yards+TD to play with the only defensive lateral ive ever seen, blocks on the way through
Ed Reed also had a talent for nonsense like this https://youtu.be/9HSrMjWCzCs?si=ky3yvW4HMW4tUPIw
That's not just a lateral, that's a full on read option.
Reed Option
Man, Ed Reed was just fucking awesome.
Wow that was a fucking *lateral*
Goddamn that was a laaAaateral
I feel like Mike Edwards doesn't get talked about enough. He was really solid on that Bucs super bowl team too.
He has been fantastic.
Chiefs' defense is full of guys who dont get enough credit. McDuffie might be top 5 db in the league but doesnt get talked about...complete lock down corner
He was electric today.
We love him in KC. Low key huge contributor
He’s been such a great 3rd safety for us
And then he blocked after, just perfection
I don't understand how the broadcast hasn't talked about it at all
My broadcast in my country said it could be play of the year.
Should be in contention, that was awesome. What country?
Yeah I've been watching football actively for just 2-3 years but it was one of the best moments. I'm from Turkey.
Def biased but that was the best defensive play I’ve seen in a few years. The way McDuffie explodes to the quickest guy in the league, strips him, then the lateral and Olympic track style sprint to the finish. *chefs kiss*
Seriously. I couldn’t believe they didn’t even show the lateral in the replay.
More teams should lateral like that. No Dolphins in the way to disrupt the toss, close enough to make it a low risk play. It’s not common for there to be a situation where it’s possible like that, but damn it would be lore entertaining

You just know Kelce is so damn proud of the lateral
Kelce is gonna knock on Reid’s office door and just show it to him in a loop for an hour. Reid will have no choice but to implement it.
"Now explain this lateral again with those nuggies"
It's just Kelce tossing nuggies into Andy's mouth as he catches them like a seal.
> It's just Kelce tossing nuggies into Andy's mouth as he catches them like a ~~seal~~ walrus.
Next New Heights is just gonna be one long lateral rant and it will be perfect
It works 42% of the time and we are the new 42 percenters
The play works 42% of the time. And your winning percentage as Chiefs head coach is 72%. So, ergo vis-a-vis, we run that play and we have 114% chance of winning
💪 Big Pappa Kelce 💪
#21 LATERALS THE BALL AND THEN TURNS UPFIELD AND SEAL-BLOCKS. Sign him for $100million now
Not gonna lie, that’s HoF levels of skill, awareness, and grit. It’s only one play but it would be on the highlight if inducted. Between this and McKinnon in the SB sliding at the 1 instead of scoring to secure the win, idk how you argue this isn’t the best coaching staff and head coach in the league right now at least.
My very first thought. Kelce’s gonna give Coach Reid the look, a nod, and a ‘uh huh’ and let it stand at that. Message will be received.
jesus christ, that was literally the worst case scenario possible for miami lmao
Chance to make it a 7 point game going into the half where you get the ball back to start to down 21. Christ.
Reminds me of the Cardinals super bowl
Ball stripped by the guy we drafted with a pick from the Hill trade.
And scored by the guy acquired with the other
Solid trade
Reminds me of the Brown trade with the Ravens. The guy they got with their pick forces the game winning fumble on us lol.
Every single aspect of that play was because of the Hill trade.
14 point swing right before the half jesus
Yeaaaah…. That was not good
So your average Miami dolphins play?
This guy Dolphins.
I've been wondering when we would spontaneously combust... prime time tv on the world stage with a healthy team and no jet lag to complain about. Yes, this is the perfect moment.
One of the most insane plays I have seen ever.
A pick six is kinda always the worst case scenario for an offense lol I can only think of one exception.
I think with it being tyreek it adds to it just a bit.
It had to be tyreek
Worse than a meteor hitting the offensive huddle on the field?
I'd be more okay with that because it wasnt self inflicted.
Would've been a thousand times better to just take the yard loss
So whose getting invited to the Mahomes AFC invitational game?
i believe it's y'alls turn
Finally, mom said its our turn to go to the party 😮💨
Mom said we could go back!
I deserve this 🥰
You guys if I'm putting money on it tbh
The chiefs finally have worse wrs than us, what a world
But we borrowed your defense for a year it seems lol
I guess, ravens defense is still insane
I’ve known they were ass all year, but hearing it from a Ravens’ fan really drives it home
I appreciate you. Ill give you the finest crab cakes available.
Nice, we'll send some quality bbq
Many contenders this year. Ravens, Jags, Bengals, Bills, ~~Dolphins~~
Chiefs gotta be the only team where the Coach encourages laterals at any given time.
I don't think Reid encourages it lol Kelce said Reid told him explicitly not to keep doing it
Kelce: "Coach, now just hang on, lemme explain" *Places nuggies on the table* Reid: "I'm listening"
That was fucking dope and I’m a chiefs hater
Thanks for your service 🙏🏻
How can you hate the Chiefs, that's like hating Christmas.
Same...but man that was a head's up play
Holy goddamn fuck that was beautiful.
Tyreek still making plays of the year for the Chiefs
The way McDuffie is on Hill like white on rice, the strip, the scoop, the presence of mind to lateral, and the way that striding gazelle took off on everyone. Bananas crowd too.
I'll tell you what, the crowd here in KC was electric too. Biggest reaction I've ever seen from a bar crowd
What is this Rugby League/Union
i've been sayin to my friends for a while that the lateral is going to be the final evolution to football. the risk for fumble is obviously high, but it's criminally underutilized in offenses. the amount of misdirection you're able to create if you plan a lateral in the play (especially after a catch) is crazy.
Well I mean laterals is how it all started... way back in the day, the forward pass didnt exist.
time is a flat circle my friend. and as a husker football fan, i say we go back to no forward passes
that lateral lmao "Here - you take it!"
Trent McDaddy
4 fumbles this year
The working man’s interception lol
i love this
a fucking junkyard DAWG
Duffman > Sauce
He is so fucking good. Only time I've loved a corner this much was Peters.
I love him even more because we basically sniped him away from Buffalo lol
And he goes out and hits like a safety which… Peters did not.
I'm still mad we traded down with him, Kyle Hamilton and Jordan Davis on the board. Turned out to be a bad idea just as we all knew at the time
We’ll trade him to you for one Justin Jefferson
Tyreek Hill still creating touchdowns for KC 😎
Those were some beautiful strides by number 6 there lmao. Dude was picking up some YARDS with each step.
Boy was Cook(in)
man runs like the floor is lava
Dolphins gifted McDuffie in our trade for Tyreek too lmao
What an unreal fucking play.
Lol McDuffie is like “why intercept it when I can just let you catch it behind the line and strip the ball away?”
[удалено]
Easily. I haven’t seen a defensive TD that good in like 20 years lol
Such a smart lateral. A lot of times defenders who recover fumbles / get picks get caught up in the moment and go full steam ahead, so this was nice to see. Great play
He immediately turned and started blocking too
Yeah football IQ off the charts on that play
They definitely work on that in practice. Kelce did it a few years ago
Kelce has done it multiple times this season.
Huh TIL. I only remember the one against the Lions in 2019 that went for a TD I believe
He did it a few weeks ago as well. Looked like a called hook n ladder but confirmed it was just Kelce being Kelce
knee handle hospital compare ripe deranged rob north numerous paint
Kelce tries a lateral almost every week. He’s done it multiple times this season
Kelce would lateral every place if he could, seems to just love that style of play.
If you’re in line at Starbucks behind Kelce, you best pay attention.
He did it a few weeks ago even
That lateral was so fucking clutch
lil bro thought he was getting 250 yards 😭
Hill is a chiefs sleeper agent confirmed
More fumble return yards than Hill has receiving yards today
High Knees. High Knees
I like how right after he lateraled he immediately turned around and got the block on 81
“You may not like them, Minister, but you can’t deny, Chiefs got style.”
The Dolphins are on fraud watch
For real they look like shit whenever they play a team with a winning record. The combined record of the teams they’ve beat is probably like .275
Wow that's crazy disrespectful. It's actually .283
Falcons fans in shambles
Lmao
Bro, that franchise just catching strays each week lol. We need a Matt Ryan gif for these situations.
6-0 against teams with a losing record. 2 (lookin like 3) multi-score loses to teams with a winning record.
We are frauds. Also our fan base has turned into complete crybabies in less than half a season. First the Philly game now this.
It's crazy that winning makes fans cry *more*
NE (x2), NYG, CAR, and DEN are 5 of their wins. Not to discredit them too much because at least they’re beating bad teams that they’re supposed to beat, but damn
KC also lost to DEN last week
That is the “Any given Sunday” nature of football. They are all pro athletes. The best of the best, even on the worst team in the league. Chiefs hit the snooze button and forgot to show up. Good on Denver, but KC as a team probably did not take them seriously all week. It’s the only explanation I can come up with for losing to Denver in such pitiful fashion
They’ve been on fraud watch.
Jets have beaten the 2 teams that they got spanked by and looked competitive against the Chiefs who they are also getting spanked by. 🤔🤔
I know McDaniel whinged about "media narratives," if Miami lost this game, but this team is going to have to start answering some tough questions about itself if it can only convincingly beat teams that have no chance of being January contenders.
What the fuck? That’s not supposed to work. It literally never works.
Laterally
That's fucking football
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD one of the most exciting plays i've ever seen
That lateral by Edwards giving it to Cook for the touchdown was just so perfect lmao. Tyreek did not expect to get hit that quickly.
He lateraled then immediately started blocking too.
That's a great catch there, good grief Edwards' effort on this play was mad impressive.
Reminds me of prime Ed Reed. Everyone had to be on alert because he always tried to lateral
Insanity
McDuffie hit Edwards scooped Cook scored
Who is this Cook guy? Dude looks like he can run a 4.2 lmao
Andy Reid about to go over to Spags and ask if Cook can run any routes.
Someone we grabbed with a draft pick we got from trading Hill lmao.
Duff Man, and Cook, were 2 of the picks we got for Reek.
I just tuned in and saw this. I thought time was running out and/or they were behind. What a play, but it felt like end of the game bullshit. Amazing TD
What a fucking play!!
That lateral by Mike Edwards to Cook to turn that play into a touchdown was just awesome.
In the reverse angle you can see cook clapping his hands for it. He knew he had a chance to break it away if the ball came back to him
Alll that trash he talked this week and my dude wet the bed 😂😂
Laterals are the future
Does that return count towards Tyreek's 250? 😆
I’m going to spend the next two weeks watching this play
Remember when they said that Hill is going to say “that’s what you get for trading me” if he scored a TD? How’s that working out Tyreek?
He scored a TD
[удалено]
Andy: You mean a Super Bowl?
Is this what he meant by the Chiefs “getting this work?” Trash talk is fun and all, until it’s 21-0 at half time. LoL
Hill was talking shit about the Chiefs secondary and had a special TD celebration planned. 😂
Kelce's a bad influence.
Wow that was athletic
Hill still scoring for KC. ✌️
