On NFL’s Monday Night Football, Marquez Valdes-Scantling had the chance to secure a comeback win for the Kansas City Chiefs, but he dropped the go-ahead touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles. This moment led to the Super Bowl LVII rematch going the way of the Eagles, who managed to get the better of the Chiefs by 21-17 at the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City on November 20.
The Kansas City Chiefs were in the lead for most of the game against the Philadelphia Eagles, heading into the halftime break at 17-7. But the second half belonged completely to the Eagles, who scored 14 unanswered points to get ahead by 21-17 against the Chiefs with minutes remaining in the pulsating contest.
With just 1:50 minutes to play, Patrick Mahomes, the star quarterback for the Chiefs, aired out a massive deep ball from the 49-yard line to his teammate Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The wide receiver beat his man to get to the ball, but instead of catching it, he saw it bounce off his chest before both hit the floor at the same time.

It led to the Philadelphia Eagles taking over the ball before they closed out the game by lining up in the victory formation while kneeling down in succession.
