What Went Down In Super Bowl LV

Between their decimated o-line and an injured-looking quarterback, the Chiefs came into this game in much worse shape than I, at least, initially realized. Edwards-Helaire rushing for a season-high 7.1 yards per carry while Mahomes averaged less than 6 yards per throw was not on my bingo card. (I still can’t believe the Chiefs didn’t score a touchdown tonight.) But Brady Brady-d to the tune of a 125.8 passer rating, third-best on the season, and if this means I don’t have to listen to any more arguments about whether he’s indeed the GOAT, well, that’s a win in my book.

Michael, there’s a school of thought that says this season was one of Belichick’s best coaching jobs yet, given the utter lack of talent on both sides of the ball. And he’s every bit the driven competitor that Brady is. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jonathan Kraft signs off on a major push to get the Patriots back on top — or if Belichick gets them there.

I think Brady’s Super Bowls in New England will now be associated more with Brady than with Belichick. He’s not Bart Starr to Belichick’s Vince Lombardi, that’s for sure.
