Forget about taking the easy 3 points and going to OT, Dick Vermeil wanted the win. That takes balls to do that. All Oakland had to do was stuff the line and stop Larry Johnson short of the end zone. Game over! Chiefs lose. But nope, he had the confidence in his team and that helped them out. Anyone else think that Mike Mularkey would not do something like that? He'd just take the easy points.
Wow! What a gutsy call!

Re: Wow! What a gutsy call!
First all, I really though Larry Johnson fumbled into the endzone, and it was recovered by the Cheifs for the TD. The league dropped the ball on that challenge.
...worked out for the best anyway, but had Johnson been stuffed at the line, Vermeil would have been boooooed out of KC.

Originally posted by helmetguyIt was a fumble forward. In that case, Johnson would have had to recover it himself. Otherwise, it's a touchback.

Originally posted by YardRatLast two minutes of the game, the only player that can recover a forward fumble is the one who dropped it to begin with.
besides, it was so obvious that the ground caused the fumble anyways.

In this case, since the ball went into the endzone and another KC player touched it, it would be "Illegal Touching," and the defensive team would have been awarded a touchback.Someone said "What's he gonna turn out like?" Ha!
