Madden NFL is making sure updates provide the plays that shape the NFL season. Miami's cheat motion plays revolutionized the game and found their way into every team's playbook. Madden 25 noticed, and they are a huge part of this year's playbooks.

The pass play used by the Kansas City Chiefs to win Super Bowl LVIII, affectionately named "Corndog," is in its Madden playbook and it's a powerful one. You knew they wouldn't do a Super Bowl winning play dirty, right? Here's how to run it:

Select Mtn Corndog in the Chiefs' Gun Bunch Strong Nasty Playbook. The outside wide receiver will start motion and then move back outside. Remember how we talked about motion plays taking over the game?

If the defense doesn't stay with the motion WR, he'll be wide open in the flat for easy yards. This is the route Kansas City's Mecole Hardman scored on in the Super Bowl. Next, look to your running back in the other flat. If you're running this in MUT, you'll want to make sure your runner has a decent catch rating. There's a serious stone hands epidemic this early in the year.

Next, look to your tight end in the middle of the field. Madden's defense is not in the best state right now, and the middle is open a lot. You may need to make a conservative catch if anybody is close. Next, look to your other tight end on the post. This route is excellent against man.

Last but not least, look to your slot receiver on the option route. It's going to be hard for your opponent to lock up all these routes. If you're part of the mobile QB meta like me, when all else fails bail out and run for it. If you're using Kansas City in regs, or Patrick Mahomes in MUT, he absolutely has the speed to pull that off.

Andy Reid told NBC Sports he called the play thinking San Francisco would cover it since they saw Kansas City run it twice against Philadelphia. Somehow they didn't, and now Corndog has been immortalized in both Super Bowl history and Madden NFL 25.
