You could tell. They were running like guys unsure of their footing.

That said, it was a huge fuck up. That is what pregame warmups should tell you.

you hear this from time to time and I dont get it. shouldnt equipment managers have several types of cleats on hand for every game? the weather was known to be an issue for a week before the game. they have plenty of time to check things out pregame. and how hard is it to change during the game as well?

seems monumentally stupid if its truely the case.

I mentioned before the game that I hope the equipment had the right cleats figured out for the game

I specifically remember thinking this during the game, like "oh it seems as if they are in sneakers and not cleats" but then I thought "nah, they've gotta me smart enough to figure that out before hand"

fucking hell.

In all fairness, Tyreek Hill skated around a bit too.

Hopefully he’s locked in for Sunday.

It's not entirely on the equipment managers. Players could have the right equipment and still be tentative because they don't trust their footing. Part of the problem playing in a dome. Players aren't used to playing in poor conditions.

It's up to the equipment manager to bring different cleat types to each game. Players then can decide what cleat they are more comfortable with.

If the equipment manager did not bring the proper cleats to KC for all the possible weather scenarios, they should be fired.

Maybe I'm oversimplifying, but the answer to the question of "what cleats to bring" should always be "all the cleats"
