The first Super Bowl was played in Las Vegas between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers.
Game 1 of Sunday’s championship game followed a script — and no, it didn’t scripted, But still followed the obvious clues there. The two teams with the highest scoring defenses in the NFL are the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City. It’s a lot more fun to make TV shows and podcasts about quarterbacks. But the Ravens and Chiefs, in that order, have been the stingiest all season, and Sunday’s game in Baltimore showed that.
After the Chiefs scored on their first two possessions, the game descended into an absolute brawl. All season long, people thought Patrick Mahomes was great; this A large part of what makes the Chiefs so great is their defense. Steve Spagnuolo’s team largely contained league MVP Lamar Jackson.
Jarius Snead, who has been outstanding all season, forced a key turnover early in the fourth quarter to keep the deficit at 10 points. Jackson was picked off in the end zone on the next possession and the Chiefs went on a power play. Fourth Super Bowl appearance in five years.
I’ve said all season long that I just want to see Patrick Mahomes hit the road at some point in his playoff career. Now, he’s left broken hearts in Buffalo and Baltimore the past two weekends and has a chance to reach three Lombardiers before turning 29. This is astounding work.
Before we turn to nightcaps – how about targeting Max Valdes-Scantling to freeze the game? The guy who dropped the ball on Monday night against the Philadelphia Eagles. There have been times when doubts have arisen about this team. who are they? what are these? They were AFC champions again.
They faced a San Francisco team that had taken nearly 70 years to make a return. In a 1957 Western Conference playoff game at Kozar Stadium, San Francisco led the Detroit Lions 24-7 at halftime. The Lions erased a deficit and then defeated the Cleveland Browns to win the NFL championship. On Sunday, the exact same story and ending played out in the opposite way. It provides a return opportunity that more of us can recall from four years ago: Chiefs vs. 49ers.
It’s a heartbreaking chapter for the Lions, who have rewritten many people’s perceptions of themselves this season. They remain one of four NFL teams that have never played in a Super Bowl. San Francisco’s bookshelves are filled with books telling its history, and here are five Lombards.
I must admit that this part of the script had to be tweaked more in the second half, and I had a pointed comment about Journey singing “Don’t Stop Believin'” at halftime. San Francisco stayed there and committed to the next play, while Detroit committed enough costly turnovers and fumbles to create a lane for the 49ers to break through.
All of our morning and daytime shows will have tons of content to digest. Should Campbell do this? Or trying to improve by three points? Not sure how we handle the Brock Purdy game manager conversation right now. Hey, if he loses to a guy who’s 14-3 in his postseason career and is an underdog again in the next game, despite what’s happened the past two weeks, maybe you can knock him out in a few weeks.
We only have one game left to enjoy and we have the next two weeks to figure it all out.
