In the eight days since the Chiefs emerged victorious in Super Bowl LVII, many have pointed to RB Jerick McKinnonโ€™s โ€œselfless actโ€ which allowed KC to run the clock down and kick a game-winning field goal. Many have speculated that this is something that canโ€™t be taught or coached but something that comes from deep within the player. Not so fast says Jerick McKinnon who spoke with Fox 4โ€™s Harold Kuntz about the moment.

โ€œโ€œI didnโ€™t really think too much of it because thatโ€™s how we were coachedโ€ฆโ€ McKinnon stated. โ€œThatโ€™s how coach Reid coaches us. When that play came up, obviously, I didnโ€™t understand the magnitude of it until after it happened to see everyone elseโ€™s reaction, itโ€™s all been a blessing.โ€
