Chiefs' Jerick McKinnon on Late Slide in Super Bowl: 'We Practice That Every Week'

Kansas City Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon made one of the most significant plays of Super Bowl 57 when he slid to the ground rather than scoring a go-ahead touchdown with under two minutes left against the Philadelphia Eagles.

McKinnon recently revealed that the Chiefs constantly prepare for such situations, so he knew exactly what he needed to do to secure the team's second championship in the last four years.

"It wasn't even a hesitation in my mind to score once I knew what situation we were in," McKinnon told Kansas City's FOX4 TV (h/t USA Today's Steve Gardner). "We practice that every week. … I didn't really think too much of it because that's how we were coached."
