The pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes to wide receiver Mecole Hardman to win Super Bowl 58 was one for the history books – partly because of its unique name.

A three-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes to wide receiver Mecole Hardman in overtime – a catch for the history books.

So the Chiefs were trying to run something else off the Corndog look. The 49ers covered the play they intended to run.

So … Corndog for the win. https://t.co/I23kDZmc9m

Same as the third Super Bowl title in five years for the Kansas City Chiefs. And of course, the play was aptly named, one that can only be found in Head Coach Andy Reid’s playbook.

“The call was different, but it’s the exact same move as ‘corn dog,'” Mahomes told “CBS” on the sideline after the triumph. “We brought him back at the right time. Coach Reid, he’s just an absolute legend. “

Chiefs play “Corn Dog” didn’t work for the first time

And the special thing about the game-deciding play: It wasn’t the first time this play had been used in the Super Bowl.

In last year’s 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, the Chiefs used their “Trick 17” multiple times, including the game-winning touchdown to receiver Kadarius Toney in the fourth quarter.

“It’s called Corn Dog,” Reid told “NBC Sports” at the time. The coaching icon also gave a fitting explanation of how the unusual name came about: “There’s nothing better than a good corn dog with a little mustard and ketchup.”

And it wasn’t the only creative play in the Chiefs’ young Super Bowl history. The last time Kansas City beat the 49ers in Super Bowl LIV in 2020, the “Jet Chip Wasp” play helped the team overcome a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter.

The self-confessed cheeseburger lover Reid will certainly not be short of new ideas in the future after the extremely successful plays with creative names
