What Went Down In Super Bowl LV

I am also struck by how this team came together around midseason and went on this run, culminating in the championship. They were supposed to be contenders going into the season, sure, but they also had more than a few question marks — which multiplied when they were 7-5 through 12 weeks. But from that point on, they were one of (if not the) best teams in the league, capping it off with an incredible performance on both sides of the ball, but especially on defense.

Co-sign with Maya. Brady’s the GOAT now. It’s beyond debate. 43!

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.
