Well, if there were any doubt, let it be known that we're officially in the Patrick Mahomes dynasty. Not the most exciting Super Bowl I've ever watched, but it was a strong finish and a worthy finale to the season.
For this segment, I did some notes as a play by play on the game-- a little different format than usual, maybe a little quicker and fun. We'll find out, regardless!
Chiefs 25- 49ers 22
-Tails failed, once again. Beginning to lose faith in that little slogan
-Tony Romo gushing over the Chiefs deferring the coin flip was really strange, with the intent of, "making Brock Purdy show what he can do." Literally every team in the NFL does this
-The Niners were absolutely rolling on that first drive before Christian McCaffery fumbled it away. Buzzkill
-Kansas City came out looking very timid and conservative. The first quarter sucked
-Mike Shanahan looks like he was wearing bronzer
-Jake Moody bombed his 55-yard field goal. Absolute no doubter for the rookie
-Man...poor Dre' Greenlaw. Tearing his Achilles' while getting jacked up to run onto the field. As devastating an injury as you'll encounter
-Tony Romo's attempted rendition of Someone Like You by Adele was a terminable offense
-Never understood why guys smack/punch opposing players on the helmet, like it does anything to who they're hitting. Dumb penalty by L'Jarius Sneed
-Jauan Jennings' touchdown pass to Christian McCaffery hung in the air for-ev-er. CMC exploded once the ball finally got there, scoring with authority. It was the first touchdown pass by a wide receiver since Antwan Randle-El in 2006
-Better believe Mahomes remembers the hit Arik Armstead laid on him at the end of the first half. Ouch
-Usher and the halftime show was substantially better than expected. Fun, throwback for us aging 90's babies. Ludacris was a nice addition, while Lil Jon was the glue that pulled the whole performance together
-The Tony Romo- Mr. T commercial was actually pretty funny, something about trying to put the T in Skechers. Well done writers!
-Deebo pulling up looked bad initially, very fortunate it wasn't more then a cramp
-Chris Conley fucking cracked Richie James on a punt return, really bad lack of fair catch
-Super Bowl streaker got wrapped up quicker than any I've ever seen. Can't imagine he's having the best of mornings right now
-Romo: "And there's a streaker, I know we're not supposed to say anything about them, but..."
-Darrell Luter's muffed punt turned the tides in this game, setting up Marques Valdes-Scantling's go-ahead touchdown reception just one play later
-Kyle Shanahan showing his balls going for it on fourth down on the subsequent possession, more than acknowledging the magnitude of that drive. No more reliable target there then George Kittle
-Jauan Jennings secured a touchdown pass later that drive, making himself just the second player ever to catch and throw a touchdown in the Super Bowl. He joined Nick Foles on that list
-Another Moody bomb set the Niners up to win the game. Their defense came up short though, as Harrison Butker sent us to just the second overtime game in Super Bowl history. I hate Travis Kelce, but he showed out on that critical drive
-Purdy's dump off to McCaffery in overtime while surrounded by Chiefs was a sick play
-If Patrick Mahomes has the ball late with the opportunity to win the game, any game, he's going to get it done. We saw it once again last night
-Seriously, who saw Mecole Hardman contributing the way he did? Kid has butterfingers but isn't afraid of the big moment
That's it, that's all. Congrats to the Chiefs on their 3rd title in 5 years, as Mahomes is well into the GOAT discussion. Make sure to take a minute and appreciate the greatness we're witnessing, because this is a level of play that doesn't come around often.
To the offseason we go!
