What Went Down In Super Bowl LV

Neil mentioned the Bucs’ short passing. The Chiefs are actually good at stopping defenses from getting completions of 11-plus air yards (Brady averaged 11.5 in the NFC Championship). They allowed the third-fewest completions on these throws (65) during the regular season, according to ESPN Stats & Info. Conversely, the Bucs allowed 86 (12th most).

The Chiefs have a tendency for costly penalties. They were the NFL’s fifth-worst team this season in terms of net EPA per game on penalties.

As it stands, this is perhaps the worst half of Patrick Mahomes’s career.
