He's made that play how many times in his career? At LEAST a dozen times. That's a pitch and catch for him, especially since he found clean air. He was out there with all kinds of space and time. It's just a step and fire and you have a chance to grab the momentum back.
Don't watch that video if you're squeamish because honestly, as bad as I remember Patrick playing - he was worse. He wasn't just leaving 10/12 yard gains out there. He was leaving 40 yarders on the field. And most of them were fantastic catch/run play design plays where he didn't need to throw the ball more than 15-20 yards and someone was going to have it with room to operate downfield.
It's just completely inexplicable and at times you can hear it in O'Sullivan's voice. He's as confused as the rest of us. The game just suddenly looked to fast for him. Damndest thing I've ever seen in sports honestly.

Not trying to hijack this thread anymore than we already have, but kind of a reverse-angle note on that video: am I seeing things, or was CIN actually committing up to 5 defenders to stopping Kelce at times? Check the video in the 1st or second play analysis; the defender at the bottom of the screen sure looks like his assignment is to pay Kelce as he crosses the field. From the snap he's looking right at him, or so t seems.
Except
he's lined up on the other side of the formation? And there are several other plays in that video where it looks like CIN decided to essentially box Kelce with 3-4 guys whenever the Chiefs were inside the 25-yd line. Not sure I've ever seen any defense in 40+ years devote that much manpower to stopping anyone, outside of Barry Sanders.
