and janikowski couldn't even get a finger on him hardly you can see with that bad leg trying to make him change directions and he didn't do much. >> al: the great special teams coach. applauds that effort. ball at th31. mahomes will dump it off. set up the screen. damien williams with blocking and take it inside the 20 for another first down. eonsas city only has one tut and it will stop at thni two-minute w. can they get a play off before the two-minute warning? they're trying to. and apparently the -do. but it- or they hope they didn't. they hope they didn't because he was going to get sacked. let's get the call here from vinovich. >> referee: the clock stopped at th01. we are ae two-minute

yard line. >> cris: kelce hasn't had much of an impact. 's go time now, though. a >> set kelce up on a wing to the left side as mahomes retreats. rows! too deep. intended for kelce. akeem king doing a nice job tonight vering on the play. >> cris: i think they found somebody in king that is tough assignment a i night and s in his hip pocket.gh he's been in the face of lce all night long. >> al:onley goes wide left. tyreek hill is in the slot. mahomes. survey. takes off. gets tackled from behind by frank clark.

gets up in a hurry. they only have one timeout. it will be third down and ve. >> cris: again, we have talked about it a lot. you have to score twice so if you don't make it here you will kick theield goal. >> al: third and five. mahomes reversing. fires side arm and that's out of boundsnd incomplete. so now you bring in the fiald unit to fly the on-side kick. so here comes tker and company. >> cris: two deep safeties. so not a lot of space. double teamed there by codougald. did a great job ng back after missing practice all week. there's the verage on the other side. griffin having nice game tonight, too. pretty well buckled up on the outside.o >> al: going a 32-yard

.ttempt. right don the midd to make it a seven-point game so it comes d the on-side tck. >> cris: you know,he on-side kick is strange this year because you're only one yard from where the ball is kicked so you dent get that normal run-up that allows you t there about the time when the ball hits that bounce, bounce way in the air and then comes down. so it hasn't been as easy this year as it has been in some years past. >> al: mh tougher. volkswagen postgame report next. a lot of guys to choose from. liam breaks down the playoff picture. we look ahead to next sunday's game in nashville. colts/titans to end the regular season with the winner going to the playoffs and the loser le

against indy. that spinner that came outnof there and dy could pick it up. >> al: and there was a shocker, too. nobody expected that. mahomes can only watch an hope. to get one me opportunity. >> cris: nick vannett is the guy they're ying to protect, number 81, so he can make the catch. tight end. big guy. sitting back there. going to try to protect him. >> al: if it doesn't hit the ground -- it will go out of bounds. so there was vannett. kicking in his direction. instead, the seattle seahawks can pretty much -- >> referee: kick out of bounds. ball will be placed at the out of bounds spot.

>> al: kansas city can only stop the clock once and the seattle seahawks barring a total er disastill cement a playoff berth. back in the playoffs. they had a five-year run and didn't make it last year. >> cris: i tnk he kicked it a tad too hard because the second hop, there it is, second big hoc but it had toojuice. >> al: dice went off the table. from the 5 the chiefs, if they wish can stop the clock but it's going to be to no avail. >> cris: i still say regardless of outcome this game will do a loof good for patrick mahomes and the kansas city chiefs as we head into the playoffs. this is one of those that you sort of tighten the screws on your football team and de tand this is what it's going to be like, guys.

whether we're at homn the road, doesn't matter. this is the kind of intensity that you're going to see bute are seeing some of these high-flying offenses now sort of coming back to earth and some n fenses and running games and starting to havepact down the stretch. >> al: if ey win next week, they'll still be the number e seed. tell you, the chargers a probably pulling theirout right now. that made a ton of difference. otherwise they would be in the driver's seat. instead, you know, the interesting thing about what's going to happen in the west the number one seed to come out of the west and the oth guy's going to be number five. so one seed, of course, the road to the super bowl goes through your stadium f. you're five you get probably three road games.ga only hom is if the six got to the conference championship game. this will be the final play of ede night and the seattle

seahawks who sta the year with a record of 0-2 with losses at denver and chicago turned it around and it's probably as good a coaching job as pete carroll has done. he had some great years, a super bowl ring, a college national championship. only barry switser and jimmy hn jon won the national titles inollege and a super bowl. toned it around. transformed the team.om legion of bos gone. lson is still there, though. that helps and the two of them will exchange jerseys. a little bit of a tradition. pe >> cris: sal show those two put on tonight. >> al: 38-31 is the final score. hey, batter, batter, batter, batter.
