I had NFL Network on in the background last night, and what do you know? A replay of Super Bowl 54! Well, it IS the 8000th time I've watched this, but... ehh, why not?

When I turned it on, it was at the start of the 4th quarter, on the drive that ended in Mahomes' 2nd INT. On that drive there was a sack by Buckner. It occurs at the 1:19:45 mark



I know Buckner is a great player. I get that. But... holy shit. Doctor was a goddamn turnstile. And what's worse is that Reiter has a chance to slow Buckner down or at the very least redirect him with one clean shove. That would've been enough time for Mahomes to go, "Shit... better get out of here." If LDT and Reiter are both lucky, they would have held up him together, but with a player like Buckner, he probably still gets free eventually.

And I know it's one play in the context of a game. But I've seen enough of this throughout the year. LDT wasn't that great. And Reiter was often just out of his element.

Fixing that would be lovely. I don't care if that's using the same players (maybe LDT just needs to be 100% healthy) going to depth on the team (Allegretti, Hunter, Rankin, etc.) or using a draft pick/free agency. But we've got to get better play from our line in situations like that.
