It's the fourth quarter. Mahomes is leading a methodical drive downfield against the 49er defense. The clock is ticking. A holding call on first down backs up the Chiefs. Two consecutive unsuccessful plays leave the Chiefs with a difficult 3rd and long situation. Given the down and distance, the Niners substitute in Dee Ford. He lines up, double and triple checking his position to ensure he's clear of the neutral zone. The ball is snapped. Ford screams off the edge, timing the cadence perfectly. He's beaten the offensive tackle. He sees Mahomes in front of him, like a sitting duck. It's Ford's moment to shine. They make eye contact. Mahomes takes a knee. Ford looks at the clock. Time expires. Chiefs win 47-3.
