Coaching Genius there are levels to this

A lot of people myself included were not aware of what was going on at the end of overtime. The apparent lack of urgency from the Chiefs in overtime. Even MJD admitted he was confused. However Mahomes and Kelce noted how the Chiefs went over and over the new overtime rules and they knew there was no need for fearing the OT time running out at the end of the first OT period it would just go to next quarter time wouldn't expire on their first possession. Chris Jones also commented on how he was surprised with the new OT rules that the Niners elected to receive the ball when going second was obviously the smarter route. Post game Niners players noted they didn't know about the new OT rules, and Shanny himself noted he assumed getting the ball first was the best way to go, when even the Cheifs DT knew that it wasn't. The Patriots always seemed prepared for every eventuality which gave them a schematic advantage it appears that the Chiefs had that type of advantage over the Nners. Shanny might be innovative on offense but there are obviously levels to genius in the NFL coaching ranks and just like Belicheat schooled McVay in their Super Bowl, Andy Reid just schooled Shanny.
