What Went Down In Super Bowl LV
The Chiefs sort of cheated in drafting Hill. Everyone knew he was a first-round talent. But he was off of draft boards because teams did not think they could get away with it. The Chiefs felt they could, took him in the fifth round and did get away with it. They have paid no price. They are a darling team.
Kansas City’s offense is now 2-for-13 on third or fourth downs. That’s not the whole reason they’re going to lose, but it has not helped after the Chiefs were one of the best teams at converting on those all season.
Ndamukong Suh has to be the biggest name nobody said in the run-up to this. Fourth on the Bucs with six regular-season sacks, his most since 2015. He made the 2010s All-Decade team and is now practically anonymous. But you still don’t want to see Mahomes take a shot to the face from him.
