The NFL community is in a state of uproar over Patrick Mahomes‘ appearance on “The Impaulsive Podcast,” particularly when he declared that the Chiefs will win a three-peat in New Orleans in 2025. He also gave everyone the assurance that, like they had done in the previous two Super Bowls, he and Andy Reid would run a modified version of their “Corn Dog” play. Because of its predictability, it might sound dangerous, but Jason Kelce thinks otherwise.
In the most recent New Height podcast episode, Travis and Jason Kelce examined and debated the well-known play.
According to Travis, even if the opposing defense knew that a Corn Dog play was coming, they are unable to commit to stopping it because it is such a creative and technically difficult play.
Jason, however, described this psychological trick in general terms that were similar to a game of rock, paper, and scissors. He said to imagine your opponent saying they’ll pick scissors. You would naturally question their sincerity.
But, knowing that you’ve sown the doubt, they play scissors with confidence, leaving you feeling uneasy and disappointed. It’s a mental game that looks like a physical one. The real struggle is going on inside the mind, even as the game is played out on the field.
“He wants you to defend Corn Dog because if you defend Corn Dog, the next one’s going to score,” Jason remarked. “Like if we’re playing rock, paper, scissors and I tell you, hey I’m throwing scissors, what do you think I am throwing? Anything but scissors. And bam, I come down anyway. Double f*cked you; you thought I was f*ing around, I’m dead serious, I’m throwing scissors.”
Travis Kelce is taking his time making a statement and prefers to go step by step, even though Patrick Mahomes is optimistic that they will have the chance to accomplish that again.
