Speaker 1 (00:03):
She's eight and the Eagles thirty five six seconds left
in Super Bowl fifty seven regulation. Hurts takes the snap.
The Chief's only rushing two on a delay. Clock is
gonna be out of time and the past is going
to be underthrown. It's in complets. It's incun everyone. Everyone

(00:25):
who claims that she's kiddom will raise a banner about
the National Football League again for the second time in
four seasons. The Lombardy Trophy has a red and gold reflection,
a big red reflection that she's a Super Bowl fifty

(00:46):
seven oh from a luxury suite high above State Farm Stadium,
site of Super Bowl fifty seven. It's around the NFL.
Dan has here, Greg Rosenthal, Mark Sessler. That, of course
was Mitch Holtis who gets the final call of our
final episode of the two thousand season A incompletion by

(01:10):
Jalen Hurtz. He tried to heave it downfield, nobody home,
nobody near it, and after the Harrison Bucker chip shot
that put the Chiefs a head seconds earlier, that was
enough for the Chiefs, who win thirty eight thirty five
Super Bowl champions once again, Mark Sessler and uh another

(01:30):
master class by the great Patrick Mahomes. You have thought
I had shades of the way that they came back
against the Niners a couple of years ago in the
Super Bowl and really mirrored in some way what they've
been through during this postseason journey. And before we're you know,
we went into halftime with them looking not Kansas City
like at all, uh and wondering if Patrick Mahomes would
be healthy enough to even play in the second half

(01:52):
after suffering it looks like a very painful, reaggravated ankle injury.
And instead he comes out and the offense, I mean,
I know what, like there's halftime adjustments in any read
is doing stuff that only any read can do. But
the way they responded with three straight touchdown drives and
that closing drive where I was sitting next to you,
Dan saying, the best thing you could you could have
for Kansas City is to not even give the Eagles
another chance. You didn't where We're gonna do it. They

(02:14):
did it, and they kick. They kicked the field goal,
and the thing is over required perfection. I mean, they
had to put thirty eight on the board, They had
to have no punts in the second half. Patrick Mahomes
is the best quarterback I've ever seen. He would have
been the best quarterback I've ever seen if they won
this game or they lost this game, if they had
put up thirty five, because I think whoever was getting
the ball last here was going to win. But I

(02:35):
think the way he did it that he had to
do it using everything he learned since that last Super Bowl.
That it couldn't be overly spectacular. It had to be
about decision making. It had to be about reading the
defense and getting rid of the ball quickly and mitigating
that Eagles pass rush. It had to be stepping up
in the big moment and making that scramble. I mean,

(02:57):
the script writers were working over time. He gets up
from the scramble up the middle and he's limping and
the Chiefs are about to win the Super Bowl. He
can just do it all. And I think this showed
that even on a night where he can't do everything
he normally does, that's more than enough to put up
thirty eight on a very good defense and go win
the Super Bowl. Yeah, And we were seated behind the

(03:19):
uprights on the chief side of the field, and you know,
I was thinking that was the play that I'll always
remember from this game to fifty to play in the
fourth quarter, first and ten, Chiefs have the ball, tie
game after Hurts is magnificent leading the Eagles down the
field and then the two point conversion to get it
even the Homes scrambles twenty six yards on the bad ankle,

(03:42):
and can't you already picture it, even though we haven't
seen it yet, The NFL film shot uh straight ahead
at Mahomes chugging along UH almost thirty yards, setting them
up for the field goal that would clinch the Super Bowl. Now,
if there are any Eagles fans listening right now, and
if you are here, guys, much respect, because this is

(04:02):
a bad, bad loss obviously, or like I hope you're
enjoying March or April. I don't think you're like listening
to this on Super Bowl Night. Unlikely, I don't think.
I don't think it's a stretch to say this is
one of the more difficult losses in the history of
Philadelphia sports. Ten point lead at the half and half,
and I think probably what will be remembered is the
most infamous call in the history of the city for

(04:25):
their professional sports, the holding on James Bradberry um on
third and eight from the fifteen and we're gonna kind
of get into the whole game, but I think we
need to have a conversation about, uh, this play first,
because it essentially ends the game for all intents and purposes. Um.
Patrick Mahomes drops back on a third and eight. He's
targeting J. J. Smith Schuster. Um, it's a past that

(04:49):
sales out of the back of the end zone. It
looks like Kansas City is still in good shape because
they're gonna get set up with a very makeable field
goal for Harrison Bucker, although he had already missed earlier
in the game. But instead the flag comes out. I
believe it was the only infraction in the whole game
in terms of past interference or defensive holding in the secondary. UM,

(05:09):
and immediately it felt a little bit ticky tack. Before
I get your guys thoughts on this, you know, there's
a hundred million people watching this game around the world,
or at least in our country alone, and everybody's seeing
Greg Olsen and um, here's what Olsen said of the
play when it happened. Yeah, that's worst case scenario. You'll
see James Bradberry, They're gonna say he grabs him. He's

(05:32):
got his left hand on his back. I don't know, Mike. Listen,
I think on this stage, I think you'll let him play.
Obviously Mahomes thought he saw it. I think I don't know.
I think you'll let him play. Finish this thing out.
I don't love that call. I mean, I think you
got to see the whole thing. It seemed to be
at the initial break he grabbed the back of the
jersey and pulled it. If we see that, I think

(05:53):
that is a whole I mean, I hear what you're saying, Mike.
He's trying to run a little whip route show sell
the shallow cross. I know he's got that right hand.
I get it. I just I just think, in this moment,
oh man, that is a game altering penalty. Oh yeah,
I love Olsen kind of hold sticking to that and
kind of going back at Mike a little because I

(06:14):
to me, just exactly in that moment, the way that
it looked. We've seen that, we've seen variations that it
was not egregious. It completely changed the game. Seconds later,
we've got Jeremy Kinnon doing the smart thing, which some
running backs have not done that this year and have
become a talking point. Was that first intent play at
the eleven yard line with one ago. I was kind
of impressed by both teams that they had the where

(06:36):
a thought to let him score at the eleven, and
I mean, it's go down. It sets up the chance
from Homes to simply kneel the ball a couple of
times and kick that final field goal. But you're right,
there's no way to look at this game and the
back and forth nature of it, and how honestly the
Eagles on offense were fantastic tonight. The defense did not
show up the way we thought. But to have it
end on that call, um, I'm with Greg olsoncent it

(06:58):
was anti chomactic. It was one of the best Super
Bowls we've ever seen without satisfying ending. I think Chiefs
fans don't care how it happened, but just as a
general fan, it's unsatisfying. I think what was confusing was
that the hold had to have been on the initial
little tug and it wasn't crazy Mahomes reacted immediately, so

(07:21):
certainly in a game where they hadn't called holding or
pass interference all game, that seems like one that wouldn't
be called because it wasn't like a big tug and
when he has the arm around him later, I don't
think that's what was called. But the flag didn't come
out until really late, until the ball hit the ground,
so that part of it was confusing. Dan, you pointed

(07:43):
out how Mahomes was pointing for the flag right away.
That might have been like the most influential effect of
pointing at the official lever. I don't know if that had.
Part of what was unsatisfying too, is that was like
one of the very you play is all game the
Eagles defense actually one that they got quick pressure on him,

(08:04):
that Mahomes essentially just threw that up, that it was
going to be an incompletion whether he made that penalty
or not, and that the pressure one on that play,
and that the Eagles were going to get the ball
with a minute and a half to go down three,
with a chance to That doesn't have to be one
of the upsets of this entire affairs that we spent
all week talking about Philly's pass rush having the chance
to completely wreck this thing. They end up with no

(08:25):
sex Really who would have predicted that, Well you did.
That's but that went against the grain when you when
you suggested. Thank you Paul Rodd, who, by the way,
celebrating with look looks like his teenage son being interviewed
by Peter Schreeger. Uh. Just minutes ago behind us, shred
Bomb rounded up all the we got competes. Um. Yeah,

(08:48):
just to set the scene again, we are in the
We are in the suite that originally we were told
and this one was blowing my mind. Hey, guys, we're
gonna be taking the suite that it's Kelly Clarkson and
Tracy Morgan's suite, Like Kelly Clarkson and Trade Morgan could
I couldn't wrap my head around the hell's that about?
And then when I got up here, it's like, wow,
this is where Clarkson and Morgan chopped it up and
talked ball like actually no, this was Stephen A. Smith

(09:09):
and Stephen A Smith Sweet and some other people. Um, well,
there's only so many and as big as Clarkson and
Tracy Morgan are, like, they can't each have their own sweet.
I'm in terms of fame from a fame angle, You're suggested. Absolutely,
I'm just saying, like you gotta share the sweet, Go ahead,
do it. What don't you, because I heard it all
week over in radio. Row you guys are flying so

(09:31):
high close to the sun and borrowed wings say it.
We should have had the sweet I mean, I think
that's the thing for next year, before we kind of
get into like how the game started, just to put
a bow on it. And again there's Eagles fans. If
you're listening, it's like nobody should be talking about anything
else except for that whole And I get that because
if that play, if the referee keeps the laundry in

(09:54):
his pockets Cecily, Uh, that means it will be fourth
and a eight from the fifteen yard line with about
one fifty two let's say, after the field goal attempt
hurts and the Eagles go back on the field down
three if the kicks good with UM timeouts. I'm not

(10:15):
sure what the timeout situation was, but they have plenty
of time to go get at least the tie, and
we kind of that was taken away and that's understandable,
but it shouldn't be lost. Greggy. The overall story here,
which was Patrick Mahomes late in the second quarter, UM
gets dragged down, uh, and they they they go to commercial.
You see Mahomes on the bench on the sideline at

(10:37):
this point, it feels like the game's getting away from
the Chief and he looks like he's in agony on
the bench, and you're thinking yourself, as the Eagles take
the field with a chance to potentially go up fourteen
going into the break, this game might be over potentially,
and who knows if Chad Henny is even involved. And
instead Mahomes of course comes back out in the third
quarter and they score four straight possessions to steal the

(11:00):
Super Bowl. I mean, it was another remarkable effort by
yeah guy that I'm kind of with you, Greg, I
think Mahomes is the best guy I've ever seen at
this point. This is such a I know you didn't
like the legacy stuff leading into these games, but I thought,
this is the type of game that we will remember
with Mahomes. That was part of my prediction leading into
this game. And we will remember Mahomes of what he
did tonight forever. There's no question that this enhances everything

(11:26):
you think about Patrick Mahomes. To have to win in
a different way, to have to battle through the injury,
uh to make just all the right decisions in the
second half and quarterback is a decision making position, like
he had such little margin for it was thirteen for fourteen,
only eighty nine yards, but like every possession ended perfectly touchdown, touchdown, touchdown,

(11:49):
and then they could have scored a touchdown at the end,
but instead they win the Super Bowl on a field goal.
And then he has two for thirty three rushing yards.
That's his second half numbers. The only in complation had
in the second half was on the Merry Go Round
and play, where Andy Reid was absolutely feeling himself. It
felt like an avalanche was coming down on the Eagles

(12:10):
at that point, and he's like, all right, let's break
out the Merry Go Round and really make us Herian
cry over on the other sideline. I mean, they had
the ball for eight minutes in the first half. I
mean to come out and and I think that's just
there's such a steely mentally steely team were like that
didn't seem to affect him at all. And this the
same thing the Homes did against the Bengals. It's like,
we need you to do something heroic on a bum
ankle scrambled the game, and that one. It happened again tonight.

(12:31):
And the play to be clear, like it is a
questionable call, Like I I it was a bad call,
but I think you're right there, and like if it's
not your team, you don't want to spend the whole
time like so much else happened in this game, and
that absolutely changed the game. But the fact that the
Eagles had allowed it to get to that point where
the Eagles where the Chiefs are in the red zone
with under two minutes left, they were not in a

(12:53):
good position there and they got on the bad end
of it right and before the big Mahomes scramble, they
had a has had a third and one, and if
they can get off the field, maybe the everything is different.
But they give up the first down, they drive continues
and then it ends the way it does. Let's talk
about like the beginning of the game here, because it
was very It was exactly what everyone imagined and quite frankly,

(13:15):
I think everybody hope that just was looking forward to
a great shootout because the Eagles um mark more than
almost any team you can never remember. They always got
out of the gates fast, and they do it again.
They get the ball to start the game, they win
the coin toss, and they go seventy five yards. Uh.
And did they win the coin toss or did they

(13:36):
Now the Chiefs won the coins defer, chose to defer,
which that's the tip, that's the typical decision, but against
the Eagles feels a little dangerous. Of course, Andy Reid
now looks at it. They didn't manage the end of
the first half well, but he looks at the way
the second half start and he said, I made a
good decision, right. So, and what happens? Mark Jalen Hurts
leads this offense right down the field eleven place, seventy

(13:56):
five yards uh cap by a one yard run uh
by Hurts, who, by the way, was unbelievable in this game. Nails.
He finished with four total touchdowns. Yeah, I think that
hurts right away. You you had a feeling like the
Eagles offense, Um, they're on one right here, Hurts running
the ball really well and A J. Brown DeVante Smith.
Right away, they were big plays down field, and you know,

(14:18):
the Chiefs came back and answered, but it was like
you knew you were gonna get a Philly game where
they're gonna be hard to stop. He was so cool
in this game. Jalen Hurts. I just love him. I
love him as a player. I love that he stepped
up in this game and after it being a little
scatter shot to start that forty Niners game, it's the
Super Bowl, and he had great pass protection, but he

(14:38):
was just money, Like everything was on point and he's
running the ball, and we take it for granted that
like every short yardage situation is just an obvious Eagles
touchdown here, first down, But like that's because of Jalen Hurts.
It's such a weapon. I think also that like that
that has such an impact on the defense. You're plane.
But the Eagles did not run the bell run the
ball very well early on in this game. He finished

(14:59):
with only a hundred and fIF teen yards and he
had seventy of them, so that the Chiefs get the
ball back. And this is when it was like, Okay,
we're gonna have some fun. The Chiefs go six plays,
seventy five yards capped by this play to the greatest
tight end of all time. Oh please, seven fourteen to go,
first quarter in Super Bowl. Kelsey the childer, He's got

(15:21):
the couch, he's got the touchdown chance, city beautifully thrown
ball as Mahomes to Kelsey eighteen yards, officially in the
fourteenth time that Patrick Mahomes has found Travis Kelsey for
a postseason touchdown, second in National Football League history. And

(15:43):
uh it was capped with a touchdown dance that I
would put Greggy eight an n C seventeen rating on
the Kelsey dance in front of like a hundred and
fifty million people. Right, Like, my eleven year old daughter
is watching this game, and like she became a woman tonight.
And I don't I don't like this, No, I don't.
I don't like thinking about that. Um. But that was uh,
that was Tipford tap there. But then the Eagles keep

(16:05):
coming because Jalen Hurts drops back to pass and yes,
I from what from our advantage point, I didn't think
this is a beautiful ball by Hurts, But you have
a beautiful wide receiver who makes a great adjustment and
this happens Hurts and the gun Hurts this time thinks
he's back. He's munking deep. He wants a J. Brown

(16:27):
And it's even Maryland is a little bit like corpag
It doesn't matter. He grows the ball into an area
where a J. Brown can make the adjustment and he's
jock in around and he makes that proper adjustment to
the football for a touchdown. He runs through contact so
well five yards Mike quickly want a great point. I

(16:52):
think that's the first play of the second quarter in
and Grave Digger bring you in on this one, Buddy
um Um just is a A J Brown guy. You
followed his whole career. It's incredible what a difference he
made for this team all season, and you saw it
again and again tonight that he was, you know, to me,
the best wide receiver on the field, and that's what

(17:13):
he does. He's elite ball tracking ability and the hands
to just go pluck the ball out of the air
and make those tough catches. There was a couple of
plays in this game. I don't if you guys saw.
He was like streaking wide open down the field and
hurts like under pressure immediately couldn't get it to him,
But like what could have been on some of those
he got upset in the second half when he was
not getting the ball. He ended up catching a big

(17:35):
slant and in another past on that game time touchdown,
but you're right, he was getting upset. How does it
feel though, for you, Grave Digger, and we've been through
a journey since this. A J. Brown trade happened live
on air, not a pleasant one, and you went on
your Instagram live your immediately a t N Instagram. Okay,
even more followers, more followers, uh to be cutting a

(17:57):
highlight of A J. Brown? Are you some? Are you
kind of satisfied that ultimately he did not win in
this game? No, I was rooting for him. I was
rooting for the Eagles. I wanted A J to get
that ring because I just kind of think, you know,
it would come full circle with Titans twitter less honestly,
I mean John Robinson got fired and like is because
of trading A J. Brown in my opinion. So so

(18:20):
that was a bad ball by Hurts relatively, just kind
of threw it up there and Brown ended up making
a good play. But two or three of his best
throws of the game it didn't end up being completions.
There was a Davante Smith one that was overturned. There
was a Quez Watkins one that will get I don't
know if we will get to it, but it was
on the drive of the field goal drive at the
end of the second quarter. That was a total drop

(18:42):
and would have had them at first and goal with
enough time to score a touchdown. He had some of
his prettiest throws of the year in the Super Bowl,
So I feel like it all came out in the wash.
I mean I thought that a little. I thought that
was a catch, that that that Some of the stuff
tonight like that, that's a call that like that top
of the Eagles call at the end that cat straight
there would have changed. I mean, they went on to
score a field goal on that drive, but that was

(19:04):
a game changer. So there were a couple of points.
And this is why again the Eagles fans are gonna
have to live with this. One of the things one
of the downsides of having, you know, a great run,
a sustained run, as this organization is now on, as
they just nearly won their second Super Bowl in half
a decade, is that sometimes when you get this high,
that the losses sting even more and then you start

(19:24):
doing a post morte and you're like, man, we had
the game. I think they had to me the game
close to being in control multiple times. And another the
first time I thought that to be the case was
they're up fourteen seven. After that uh touchdown by Brown.
The Chiefs go three and out then and the Eagles
get the ball back, and you're thinking to yourself, man,
they look awesome right now, Philadelphia. The Chiefs are on

(19:46):
their heels a little bit and uh, Jalen Hurts is
a third in inches. There's a false start pushes them back.
So you go from what are we calling it? I
keep forgetting the butt behind the double double cheek the
double che I mean they didn't need to push it
to be cheek qub cheek than he was just doing it.
But that then backs them up the penalty, so they

(20:08):
have to run a different play and disaster strikes spread set.
Hurts by himself in the backfield threat to run in
throw crotches down. He wants to run it, but putting
all the balls, he kicks the ball. It's picked up
by Kansas City. They're going to the tent to the
ten to the five touchdown chet down City, a defensive

(20:29):
score by Nick Bolton. Hurts got a hit and kicked
the ball picked up by Bolton and the Chase defense
gets in the trouble touchdown a second quarter. Yeah, that
was Isaac Somalo who had the false start. The right guard.
Uh so it had they trickled down effect. Nick Bolton,
by the way, had another touchdown to score. Even so

(20:52):
I'm on the sideline he tossed the ball to like
the equipment manager. He's like, I'm about to win Super
Bowl m v P. And then they're like, actually, know
it's an incomplete pass. It was the right call. Um.
But anyway that that I felt like, and I might
even said this um lead into the game, like the
Chiefs to win that game they needed, whether it's a
special team's play or a big defense. When they got both,

(21:12):
and think about that that they've got two massive plays.
Not from the Mahomes side of the difference. There was
the different it was. I mean they had, you know,
like eighty nine yards of offense in the first half.
I mean hurts you take away that one mistake in
that first half. He was seventeen for twenty two for
a d eighty three yards with a touchdown through the

(21:32):
air with sixty three yards rushing. I mean he was
It was that one little loan air. The other thing
I would point out there, I thought that maybe the
Chiefs were starting to slip away a little bit. You
go back when it was seven, seven, and they had
a fourth and three opportunity and instead of going for it,
where the Eagles are being so aggressive on fourth down,
we know they're gonna do this with Nick Sirianni, they
go for a herricka Harrison bucker field goal and he
misses it. It's like the Chiefs, you're gonna have to

(21:54):
be as aggressive his Philly, and it started to look
like at times, and these were a couple of examples
where it just might slip it eight from them if
they can't get on tracked on offense. Now that there
were you know, I think both these teams are very
good at the small things in general. Uh, tonight there
was a couple of slip ups. The Chiefs clearly were
better here on special teams. They got the big play there,

(22:14):
they got the big defensive touchdown. Sirianni got his team
extra points by going for I mean they went for
it on a fourth and five where they knew they
were gonna run it twice. They go third and five
and they pick up the fourth and five and they
get a touchdown out of that. So you're absolutely right.
But that Bolton player, I mean, he had a monster
game and him Willie Gay and Leo Chanel their rookie

(22:36):
UH linebacker, and they were on the field a lot.
All three linebackers, which is pretty rare. All had five
defensive stops, which is like a successful play near the
line of scrimmage, which is one of the best for
any linebacker units that they've had in like six years.
So those guys were forcing a lot of second and nine,
third and longs. The Eagles actually picked a lot of
them up. But it's still led to like a really

(22:58):
good game of defending the ronics after when Hurts at
the point like so, per Nextion stats, the Eagles generated
zero yards after catch over expected. So I mean they're
they're they're making catches, but they're being put to put
on the ground right away. Let's take a break right
here and then we'll continue on, all right. So again,

(23:19):
I feel bad for Jalen Hurts because we heard it
and there was even reports entering Sunday. Again, this guy
is not physically right. There's a the joint that's right
near his adam's apple, the ligament strain. It's it's causing
him pain every time he throws the ball. And he
ran uh without any fear in this game. He threw

(23:39):
the ball very well. He set the NFL record for
rushing yards in the Super Bowl and time and time
and time. Uh. In this game, when they needed to
get the momentum back, he was there to leave the offense.
So after that crushing turnover, which yes, he's the one
who put it on the ground, these things happen. They
go right down the field again, greggy and he scores

(23:59):
his third touchdown in the first half. Uh. Just as
had been the case all season. They were they were
kind of unstoppable in the red zone when he had
the ball in his hands. His ability to just run
over guys is like what makes him different. Not to
get too far on a tangent, but why not. Like
we talked before the game about this is the first
match of the two black quarterbacks, you know, in the

(24:22):
Super Bowl, and they were doing it in such different
ways here and Jalen Hurts obviously had some great downfield
throws today, made great decisions, but he also is like
Cam Newton running the ball, and that's like what is
so exciting and fun to watch. We said that like
this type of offense would never work at the NFL level,
or you know, coaches used to say that forever. He

(24:42):
ends up with fifteen for seventy and so many of
those were short yardage runs where on one of them
I can remember where I think it was Chris Jones,
defensive tackle had him stopped and it didn't matter. He
just decided to run him over. You had the touchdown
or the two point conversion late in the game where
he did it too. He had ten rushing first down
in this game, which I got to imagine is like

(25:03):
one of the highest by a quarterback, like in any game,
much less and some of those, I mean, there are
there are plays where you could point to and say
it was Jason Kelsey just absolutely bullied the defensive line
in open holes for hurts and they work so well together. Yeah,
so you have this game now once again at this
point as we get closer to the halftime, it's it's
kind of remarkable because you're thinking, after the Bolton touchdown

(25:26):
and then the Eagles going a long drive. That drive
that ended with the score was twelve place seventy five yards,
took almost half the quarter off the clock, and then
you're thinking, there's they get the ball back the Chiefs
with two minutes and twenty seconds to play, in the
first half, and Kansas City had run fifteen total plays
to that point. Mahomes was not on the field for

(25:46):
twenty three real time minutes by the time he got
the ball back. And then disaster strikes for Kansas City
because you knew they had the opportunity, because it was
like they can score here, going to half get the
ball back, but instead, uh Mahomes unfurls what I thought
was a pretty nice deep ball that MVS gets turned
around on, falls incomplete, and then you have what could

(26:08):
have been a crushing moment for Kansas City. Mahomes gets
dragged down out of bounds by Reddick, and then on
the next play, on a third and long scramble, gets
dragged down the ankle clearly hurt. As we said at
the top of the show, Chiefs had to punt the
ball away and now Mahomes is on the sideline looking
like he might not play anymore. The one thing, though,
I thought that there was a ray of hope for
Chiefs fans, was that they showed mahomesy was in clear

(26:30):
agony on the side of the field, and the first
thing that we saw on the television replay that you
see Mahomes put his head down on the It was
Rick Burkeholder, their trainer, and just it's like that maybe
Mahomes knows he's not coming back in. You got Henny
warming up. But then five minutes later because his body
is simply apparently not of the earth form, like you
see him walking off to the locker room with the

(26:52):
rest of the team like he was no limp. And
then he came out and absolutely mortified the Eagles in
the second half. So you know, this body is strange.
But that felt like such a key moment. You're right
there and like the end of these halfs and the
way it was going for the Chiefs to be down seven,
and you're like, okay, what they gotta do here? Score
but also not spend too much, you know, not score

(27:13):
too quickly. Let's say, have a quick field goal drive
and give the Eagles a chance. Instead they go three
and out. One of the few times you get pressure
on Mahomes, you give the Eagles all this time. They
get the three. That's when the Davante Smith overturned catch happened,
and that was crucial. That was a minute left in
the game, a minute left rather in the half. They
would have had the ball at the Kansas City thirteen.

(27:34):
Instead they have the A. J. Brown great catch. I mean,
it's amazing. He led the league in slants this year
and but he's the only guy that big that can
take a slant and stop on a dime and then
pivot the other way and get out about I don't
know how the turf wasn't in perfect condition. Maybe it had.
I wouldn't be surprised if we found out it was
because they had the roof open here, but the turf
was very slick. A J. Brown was the only guy

(27:56):
that seemed to have complete control of his body at
all times that two yard and set him up uh
first and ten at the nineteen. But what Greg's saying
there is like after they overturned the DeVonta Smith catch,
which is very suspect obviously, UM and Eagles fans are
not gonna be happy about that one either. That might
be the number two most annoying call enough an Eagle
sports history. Uh, it kind of took them out of

(28:17):
the running to have a real chance of scoring a touchdown.
They do kick the field goal, they go into the
half up ten points UM, but and it does feel
though Mark at that point, as they're getting the stage
set up for Rihanna, let's have a little round chat
in a couple of minutes um that the Eagles just
seemed to be in control, especially with Mahomes hurt. But

(28:38):
again it was Mahomes, so you weren't sure it was over,
but it felt like it could be. I thought that
would be touchdown turning into a field goal, and the
one mistake by Jalen Hurts and the fact that you're
dealing with Mahomes and we've seen Mahomes do this so
many times, and like every time they asked Travis Kelsey,
why are you so good, He'll just say because I
have Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes, And it's like there
was no way to count them out. There were these moments,

(29:00):
these inflection points where it felt like the Eagles could
suddenly turn this into a not a rump, but a
thing that would it would be too tough for Kansas
City to get back in. And I thought that final
few minutes of that first half was just the ray
of hope that Kansas City needed. And then I again
you saw him marching into the rocking room, not in pain.
It's like there's no way, he's not playing the second half?
Can you help the audience? Is so the difference between

(29:20):
an inflection point and a flashpoint go ahead. I think
the flash point is the name of a very successful segment.
That's not the case with inflection point. I mean, if
it was so successful, wouldn't we be running it back
a little more? Well? You constantly it was forty five
place to twenty, by the way, at half time for
the Eagles, I mean it were in control. It was.

(29:42):
It was on a platter for them. And we'll get
back to the running game thing. But that, to me,
that was the difference in this game that I kept
honking about. The Eagles were gonna be able to run
the ball and you had forty five place to twenty
and you weren't getting jack out of your running backs
in the first half, and you didn't get jack out
of your running backs in this second half. The Chiefs
won the game because they had the better running game

(30:03):
out which that was the one stunning part of this
game for me. I thought the most stunning achievement athletic
achievement of the night though, was Rihanna. Uh. Turns out
she's pregnant and she's on like a platform, like eighty
feet above the field. I'm I'm assuming the doctor probably

(30:23):
recommended not to go, you know, a hundred feet in
the air while pregnant. And that wasn't even the greatest
feat by Rihanna, which I thought was a really good
um halftime show. I remember in the old days I
used to cover halftime shows on the website. It was like,
and you predict the set list, and it was always like, Okay,
it's thirteen minutes, so you gotta figure out, Okay, what

(30:44):
are the number one hits they have, what's like the
new single they have out, what's another fan favorite, like
who's a guest that will come out? And but you
gotta you got like a four or five song prediction.
Rihanna goes out there and performs twelve songs in thirteen minutes.
It's a whole new world now in these halftime shows.
And uh and the set list. I know, Greg, you
liked how she started it. I mean to start with

(31:06):
better have my money, give me a break. That is
just like I am king queen, I'm I'm raining above you,
I am pregnant, and I don't give an f I'm
starting with a little ironic too, because famously Halftime Ax
do not get paid, so if she goes looking for
money from Roger, it might be an issue, but that

(31:28):
that's something that'll they're probably starting out as we speak.
He's doing fine. I think she's the fenty sweatshirts and
coats are on sale all around here. She thought she
closed it. She closed it so well with Diamond two.
I think that was just a great close. I thought
the thing that was the the flex moment for Rihanna
is first of all, that she would even sniff a
Kanye song and giving everything with Kanye by doing all

(31:51):
the lights and then going in to Run This Town,
which is off the jay Z album for two thousand nine.
They aren't her songs, but she kind of was like, hey,
these are my song. Those songs were of the hook
that I brought to it. I thought it was great.
It's not gonna be everybody's cup of tea. When you
saw the baby bump, that was like, oh, that's pretty
wild that she did it. And uh, I think she

(32:12):
predicted on Nate Barlson's podcast, which people could check out
later this week or right now. Actually wherever you get
your podcast will be in our feed later this week,
she predicted a she predicted a special guest uh during
halftime turned out to be a a fetus. So that's cool. Yeah.
And I think if you're if you're that unborn human,
you're wondering what there. If you're that unborn baby, you're

(32:37):
what You're wondering what you're about to encounter. Well reflects
to that she had twelve like hits that like that,
everyone knew the words. I really enjoyed it. It was good. Um.
But so then you know, I have a bad Hamburger. Um,
So I had that and then I went and got
my seat and uh, and it was interesting because I

(32:58):
think we talked about it, Markie. Um, this felt like
the game here coming out of a half. I think
there was some staggering stat I wish I had in
front of me right now. But teams that had a
double digit lead after half and one the Patriots come
back against the Falcons, me, now it's two. So when
you factor in that, the history of this, the fact

(33:21):
that the way that first half played out, that you
could even look at it. If that Nick Bolton touchdown
doesn't happen, this game might already be out of reach.
But it was still close enough mark where if Pat
Mahomes can lead them right down the field in the
third quarter, they might be in pretty good shape. And
that's exactly what they do. They go straight down the field.
They scored the touchdown and get it back to within

(33:42):
three and they got the game calm down. That was
another inflection point. Yeah, ten play, seventy five yard drive
which included incredible mahomes fourteen year old scramble that throw
to Kelsey. They started to get like Isaiah Pacheco's getting
back into the game. There, Sky Moore starts to play
a role. All these guys that were just utility guys
are starting to become part of the offense. And I
thought that that absolutely set the tone for them right.

(34:04):
It wasn't like big plays for this Chiefs team, which
is impressive in its own way. They start that drive
with three straight runs and to me, we we talked
about like Mahomes maturing how about Andy Reid for Eagles
fans to see Andy Reid and his team pull off
a comeback in the second half of the Super Bowl

(34:27):
by sticking to the run. In the first half, I
think they only had seven runs by their backs, but
they were averaging seven plus yards per carry. In the
second half, they more than doubled that in terms of
carries in the middle of a comeback. Like it was
very balanced run and pass and it was working, and
that was smart. They kind of didn't fall into the

(34:48):
Eagles trap of just throwing every down and they got
this offensive line that they built overnight essentially to make
up for what happened in the Super Bowl two years ago.
And it really came tonight because Pacheco at holes. Jack
McKinnon made a couple of plays and yeah, pocheck on
my guy that too later, you know, running through some
arm tackle. I think some kids are getting braces and

(35:10):
going to Disneyland because of this. Greggy did something very good. Greg,
You're right about that. But they the first half was
a total anomaly for the Chiefs. They hadn't had a
half first half all year where they had less than
twenty seven plays. There were made only twenty plays in
the first They didn't have many plays, But I liked
that they were downten and he just kind of didn't
get didn't panic, did what was work and maybe I think,

(35:32):
like now looking back at the game, like the Red Herring,
with all this was Yeah, the Chiefs didn't really do
anything in the first half. But it wasn't like the
Philadelphia defense had had solved the Chiefs. It was just
the game flow was. It was so out of whack
with the Eagles in the time of possession. And guess
what after that touchdown that gets them back within three,
the Eagles do it again. They say we're gonna take

(35:52):
the ball. Uh. They get fortunate on the second Bolton
TV being overturned on review was ruled Miles Sanders actually
didn't have possession. Uh, therefore it was not another return
touchdown and then Hurts hits. I think it was best
throw of the day. Was a beautiful third and fourteen
to Goddard. Casey challenges it. Um, it's ruled, Uh, it

(36:13):
is a catch. The drive continues. There was a third
down play. The last third down play of the drive
was the sixtie play by the Eagles. The Chiefs had
run thirty plays by that point, so they were doubling
up late in the third quarter. However, Casey got the
stop on defense. It was a seventeen play drive. That
is the longest drive in NFL history by plays, but
it only results superowl right in Uh. In the Super

(36:35):
Bowl history. Um, but it only resulted in three points
and Greggy bat news because now you're up six and
Mahomes he's starting to warm up, and a game that
felt like one's team is in total control, running double
amount of plays, all of a sudden, Pat Mahomes is
on the field of a chance to take the lead.
I guess I like, you have to get used to

(36:57):
defense now, like great offenses are gonna be great defenses.
For the most part, we just saw the Chiefs put
up thirty. I did feel like on that field God drive,
everything was hard and it started to be like that
Sanders couldn't get anything going and Hurts had to have
a couple of really incredible completion like he hit two
or three throws rolling to his left in this game
that were very difficult, and the Chiefs like weren't getting

(37:18):
stops necessarily. They did eventually on that drive, but they
were making life a little harder for the Eagles in
the second half than than the vice versa. Let's take
a break right here and then we'll continue on. Alright, So,
and what that's exactly what happens. The Chiefs go right
down the field and this is Greggy with the point
of the game where it felt like um Andy Reid

(37:41):
play caller, ark b enemy and probably his last game
with the Chiefs potentially. Here they have back to back
touchdown drives in which they're near the goal line and
the player that catches the ball is all alone. Uh
and let's uh, let's listen to Kadarius Tony, who, by
the way, we talked all year about Terius Tony, like

(38:02):
when he's healthy, what a difference he makes, What a
difference he made in this games? Have not lead in
this game, May Trail twenty shoven twenty one. They're gonna
throw a quick pastor Tony, he's got it on the edge,
get a look into the end zone. Touchdown j shitty
to Darius Tony on a picker up to the mare

(38:23):
Son couldn't be more wide open. A five yard touchdown
passed from Mahomes And now Butcker can get the Chiefs
the first lead of the game. Yeah, and like, Butker
just sneaks it inside the upright. But Greg Olsen on
the Telcast market had pointed out that the way that
play was schemed up, it had the defense thinking this
thing was going in a totally different direction, and when

(38:45):
Tony makes that move with his athleticism, all of a
sudden there's nobody on that side of the field with him. It.
I mean, it was masterful work by Andy Reid and
in execution because when you watch it again, it looks
like Tony without any question, is going to the other
side of the field. He comes back, he leaves it
Darius Slay I believe, absolutely in the dust and he's
wide open. And this again, it's one of two drives

(39:07):
that end with the with the Chiefs receiver absolutely alone.
I mean, this is Andy Reid stuff right here. This
is Patrick Mahomes stuff, and it's part of the reason
why the calls are upsetting. Wasting a performance like Jalen
Hurts like that is upsetting, but like make it hard
Eagles defense. This was easy. And before that, it's like,
you know, Schuster for eight on second and seven, where

(39:29):
he's just wide open immediately. Then it's Pacheco for nine,
then it's Pacheco for eleven, then it's Schuster again up
the middle for fourteen. It was just they're cranking through
and that route by Tony everyone, you know, that is
a great play call. He probably didn't need to run
as amazing route as he did. But watching that thing
live and on on tape here, it's like the way
he moves is just different than other people. There's a

(39:50):
reason he was so open, Like he sold the hell
out of that and people that killed him for his
route running coming out in college. He's still like a
special athlete and can do some special things, and he did.
Because then the Kansas City defense gets at three and out.
They didn't get many of those in this game, but
they got one at a key point. Now up one
and uh, the Eagles punt and the punt's not a
very good one. And then there is that man again

(40:12):
making one of the biggest plays in Chief Super Bowl
history and a three and out for the Eagles there
first of the game. At ten thirty three to go
in the game, sep Us will punt and over in
shorter punt and Tony will take it low at the
thirty five. Now cuts back to the right. He's got
a wall set. If you can get to the edge,

(40:33):
they need to block the putter. They do. Tony's at
the forty at the side line. At the thirty he's
at the twenty. Tony with the block trying to stay
and plays down to the five yard line. Tony ran
out of gas on a sixty five yard punt returned
and the Chiefs late seven. Then it'll have first down
and go to go at the Eagles five yard land

(40:55):
with ten eleven to go in the game. Yeah, and
watching it where we were or again from the end
zone view, you see. I think you were upstairs, Greg
doing some stuff with Talk Sport in the UK, and
we were watching Mark that play developed. You see once
he turns and goes aground. All of a sudden, there
are eight red jerseys and not a lot of green,
and it's kind of stunning, quite frankly, that he didn't score.

(41:18):
But they did score touchdown on another brilliantly schemed up
play to sky Moore, who picks a very nice time
to score the first touchdown of his and he was
as wide open as Cadarius Tony was on the previous drive.
And I think that, you know, you look at the
way that these teams both were built, and I think
they have aggressive They go after players they want to
fit the system and the trade for like they essentially

(41:40):
to could go out and get the trade for Kadarius Tony.
It we waited, We waited for this game. We talked
about I think like four previews shows in a row
he's gonna make this difference, and today you absolutely did
at the most critical time touchdown followed by that pump
return see change for Kim. Remember he left early in
the NFC title game with a lower body injury, and
you didn't know what version you were gonna get. Like
late in the first staff it had been noted that

(42:00):
he had played three snaps, so he had a limited workload.
Obviously he made the most of it. And Greg, I
just want to point out and and yes I got
the prop right with the sacks, which we're gonna get
too later, but like these are, that was a third
down play. Um. The Eagles defense, for all the heroism
all season long, they had chances where they could really

(42:22):
make a big stop. Didn't have to necessarily be a sack,
but a pressure that leads to a throwaway or somebody
steps up. And you could talk about the holding call
late in the game, you could point to a couple
other things where you feel like you were wrong. They
didn't make enough plays and they weren't even that close
to making any when Chauncey Gardner Johnson had that big
stick on the last drive. You're like, oh, like the

(42:43):
defense can make a play in the holding call came
out of play where oh, you finally got pressure. But
that was very rare. It was the lowest pressure rate
the Eagles have had in their last nine games. But
the Tony played kind of did set up and even
though he did run out of gas that was maybe
a condition an't. He did show that like amazing short
area explosion to change direction and set it all up.

(43:06):
And you're right watching from upstairs. I was higher up.
It is one of those things that you're like, that's
just saying like mid field and you're like, oh, does
he see what's going on over there? Because if he
just goes over there, it's gotta be wide open. And
uh he, I don't know if he saw it all,
but he got it done. I'm telling you, Remember I
was telling you about the width the of the of
the Chief's offense when they win their formations in general,

(43:28):
that it's been you know exactly. I think I think
we didn't talk a lot about the Chief's offensive line
going into this, and it was just like the Eagles
dominate everyone, and I think this was a little bit
different rate with they gave up a third round compensatory
pick the Chiefs in a sixth round pick for can
Areas Tony, who they have under control for at least
two more years, suplus a fifth your option Brett Veach.

(43:52):
One of the most regrettable, you know, things I ever
did on this podcast was give Brett Veach a voice,
which mean to me years ago. Now he's a two
time Super Bowl champ and I'm a bos that And
if you're if you're an Eagles fan, you're doubly annoyed
that the Giants gave Tony to the Chiefs for essentially
nothing good. Call little giants that don't beat yourself up

(44:16):
too much. Greg Um, I'm just trying to interview Yessica.
So Yessicas here in the booth, and it's like, we know,
you know, Jason Kleinman's not going to be like that
entertained by us. He's sick of us. But Jesse, Yesicas
just sitting here kind of like sometimes she's interested, sometimes
she's not. I feel like he's's been taking some professional

(44:40):
photos of doing a little like waka. You know. It
was like, I don't even like football and I've been
in this building for ten hours. Now we go, uh
to a point where it goes from Eagles in total
control to all of a sudden, the Chiefs are back
in the game, and now the Chiefs are up by eight.

(45:01):
And there was there was a thought in the area
where we were sitting. It was like, should Andy Reid
go for two after that second touch on making it
to score game? Which would have been you know, probably smart,
to be honest with you, because if you go further
two and you miss it, it's seven, and maybe Sirianni
gets into his bag and goes for two and to
beat you by one. But I think you left yourself vulnerable.

(45:24):
And exactly what happens again because the Eagles and I
can't say this enough. And credit to Shane Steiken who
is about to be a head coach. It sounds like, um,
he's gonna get the job in Indianapolis that we're hearing.
We're gonna do an emergency podcast on Monday about that,
right sure? And uh Hurts who would have been the
m v P going away if this thing went just
a little bit of a different way. They go right

(45:45):
down the field now with their backs against the wall,
They go eight plays seventy five yards. They get the score,
but you still needed to But yeah, Jalen Hurts, who
is Cam Newton reincarnated. He would not be denied at
the goal line. They steak and for the tough down.

(46:06):
They're gonna keep their offense on the field here they
want to they have to vote for two thirty three?
Who is that? And they're gone Brown, that hurts, it's
going to run. He rolls and he is hold on
toughn ever time. Hey text of them for two and

(46:28):
the Eagle to tie the chap And now Mark is
getting hot in the pitts now Mark I quiet because
Mark was rooting for hard for the Eagles and he
saw it slipping away after the two plant conversion. You
didn't really react much. But I also on the other
side of Sessler, He's thinking, I picked every game to
go to overtime, and now it's thirty over from the band.

(46:49):
I was thinking that, and I thought that that was
a great from the cross region exactly. I guess that
was a response by the Eagles because that had there
was a third and four money throw to a J.
Brown the four six yards DeVante Smith. Those guys combined
for a hundred and ninety six yards on this and
it's like that would have been a point where you
could break the Eagles, and they totally came back and said,
you're not doing that right now. But I was not

(47:10):
overconfident Dan, because with five and five plus minutes to go,
we have this chief's offense, and I said to you,
I said, what we need what Kansas City does right here,
here's how you do it. You just don't even give
the ball back to to the Eagles, and it's like,
can they do that? And then it proceeded as it
did right that to me, and obviously I was rooting
for the Eagles that you know, I was just hoping
that prediction I had at the beginning, so didn't didn't happen.

(47:34):
For those it's hard to like hate on Mahomes. I
wasn't enjoying the game, but at that point when you hit,
when he runs him over to make it thirty five
thirty five, and it's why maybe we're just slightly disappointed
by the anti climactic ending that felt like, wow, this
game has had everything. This game has been incredible, like
because hurts he's still a young quarterback and they had

(47:57):
a I think it was a second and eleven on
that play, and they were down aid at that point,
and it started to feel like it was slipping away.
And you're right. A couple of money throws to a J. Brown,
then the deep one and just him just being a
boss on the goal line, like it just felt like
it was one of the best games we've ever seen
at that point. And Greg, do you want to use
this time to express your internal sorrow? You came so

(48:18):
close to becoming one of the most famous pundits in
America if you would have nailed that Super Bowl pick
from August, including m v P and everything else everyone
was talking about. Instead, you're here talking about what might
have been, right, I mean, I probably wouldn't be here. Uh.
It would have changed the trajectory of my career so

(48:39):
quickly that I I would be on the field, Pete
Traeger would be interviewing me um and I would be
doing the Today Show. I'd be going to Disneyland and
just didn't happen. Sorry, I'm loyal to football, but it's
all right. You still came really close and showed that
you had a good like vision for the overall picture
of the league. So thanks Betty got it. So that's

(49:00):
what happens then. So I you know, I wanted the
Chiefs to win. I picked the Chiefs. I loved watching
Mahomes uh all season, like you guys, and I'd like
the history of it at the idea. Now, I had
texted my dad and a cousin, Big Dog, who were
sitting in the end zone where there. I texted him
about half an hour earlier, said this game is gonna
end with Mahomes coming right at you to win the
Super Bowl. And this is where it gets. Um. Well,

(49:24):
let's start with the best part of the drive. Okay,
the best part of the drive is, as we said
at the top of the show, it is the NFL
Films moment. I cannot wait. I wish John Facendo was
still with us to narrate it. But they'll still find
somebody with good gravy toss perhaps our friend on the
when they do the football what do they do with
the America's game? And they'll get Rudd to do it

(49:44):
because he's a big Chiefs fan and he'll do it
with the unnecessary gravitas. He's a friend of mine. Uh.
Here was the great scramble by Mahomes just picture. It's
slow motion with the music swelling underneath the checkers they're running.
Tony comes in motion. Here comes pressure to the outside.
As Mahomes steps up, he's gonna scramble. He's at the
forty bad ankle, thirty bad ankles, twenty tackle from behind

(50:06):
down to the Eagle eighteen yard line at twenty five
yards scramble what bad ankle? He is limping back to
the huddle. Don't tell me. Don't underestimate how top Patrick
Mahomes is. Yeah, and it was. It was twenty six
yards and at that point, Mark you knew it felt
like inevitable that the Chiefs are gonna win or score points.
And then it just became will the Eagles be able

(50:28):
to get the ball back? Of course, that's when things
start to get a little bit more complicated when talking
about I guess the legacy of this game, because they
get to third down and that is when the penalty
is called on Bradberry. Sure, but it doesn't diminish the
legacy of Mahomes and what he's done, because, like you know,
you were here for hours before this game starts, and
there's just a laundry list of plays that we grew

(50:50):
up watching like the l the Elway, helicopter spin, the
you know, Joe Montana's drive against the Bengals. Uh that
you know this will this will be played for decades
and on down the road. This is what this is like.
The play that sort of to me signifies and defines
what Mahomes is And the fact that he was caught
from behind shows the difference of injured Mahomes and not

(51:13):
I don't know what because you're white. Their linebacker was
doing on that play. He ends up making the tackle,
but I think he'd like to have that play back.
And it's just such a insane sport that like that
little holding call, which, by the way, James Bradberry after
the game admitted he tugged the jersey. It was a holding. Quote,
it was a holding. I tugged his jersey. I was

(51:34):
hoping they would let it slide. You know what. Actually,
as as I'm loyal to football as well on some level,
not as loyal as Greig could ever day because the
only far um but uh, it's cool to hear him
say that. And it just showed the replay. We just
saw it on the TV behind Grave Digger and it
is it was Tiki Tack. I understand um where people

(51:56):
Eagles fans are gonna have a certain opinion on it.
Obviously you have the Olsen, who has the biggest voice
of anyone, being the color guy in the Super Bowl
basically saying that the flag should just stay in the pocket,
but the actual defender saying, yes, it was I try
to get away with it and didn't that. I think
maybe if I'm an Eagles fan that I get a
little bit of grace out of that, just a tiny bit.

(52:16):
I think it's it's noble that that he said that,
and he's he's owning the mistake, because yes, I think
if you go look at it on its own, But
for me, it's just that the tone of the game,
those calls were not being made. Josh we weren't all game.
Joshua got a hit on Mahomes on that play. It
was so rare, and I think when the Eagles look

(52:37):
back on this game, they will question what Jonathan Gannon did.
We talked about, uh, whether Jonathan again like deserve the
heat he was getting in Philadelphia all season or not.
As as security police are trying that, it just looked
like and I'm trying to keep. It looks like a
police officer from a movie. It didn't look like an
actual police office. We we have to wrap it up soon.

(52:59):
The Lisa are unhappy with us. Apparently it's like this,
like we got pulled over on that yacht in Miami.
For the Eagles defense never really had answers and we
saw the secondary having breakdowns in communication throughout the second
half where they're kind of yelling at each other not
being able to figure out what to do. They never
really figured out how to stop the Chiefs short passing game. Um,

(53:21):
let's hear um from uh A nice. You know Travis
Kelsey who didn't have the biggest game, but again there
weren't like a ton of reps to be had in
this game. Um, but he did make big plays, including
that touchdown, and he's always a star with the mike.
This is what he said after the game immediately on
the field, man one are y'all said that cheez are

(53:42):
gonna take it home this year, not a single one field.
And on top of that, next time the Chiefs say something,
what's some respect on our name? You both told me,
you know, going into this year, you heard what people
were saying. You know, they're they're rebuilding. Tyreek is gone.
There's a new quarterback in the a f C, a
couple of new quarterbacks. You win the m v P

(54:03):
and now you wine superhol Pet m v PAT. You
can't say enough about what this guy means the Kansas
City in this team. And I mean, it's just I've
told you all before the season. We got we got
coach Andy Reid, we got guys like Travis Kelsey, Chris Joads,
Frank Carter. We're gonna be the Kansas City Chiefs. At
the end of day, we're gonna be the Kansas City
Chase and we're gonna we're gonna celebrate this right here, baby. Unbelievable.

(54:25):
It's it's uh in terms of like legacy and what
the game means. When you look at where Mahomes stacks up,
it is the chief second Super Bowl victory in their
last four seasons. They also wanted two thousand nineteen. They
lost in two thousand twenty to the Bucks. Uh. They've
made it to at least the a f C title
in all five seasons since Mahomes became the primary starter

(54:47):
in two thousand eighteen, and look out mark from Andy
Reid here because he joins Belichick. Shula, Landry is the
only head coaches in NFL history with over two wins
and multiple Super Bowl wins. He's in the conversation, you
know as the greatest coaches of all time. I mean,
and it's you know, fitting that it came against the
team that, at one point in his career thought we're

(55:08):
kind of done with Andy Reid. It's been nice. You
didn't get us to the super Bowl title in that situation.
And look where where where they are, where he is now.
I mean, he's he's one of the best. It's crazy
because I think his run in Philadelphia was as influential
as like any offensive coach had over the rest of
the NFL, any run over the last twenty years. Like
you see so many teams that do what Andy Reid does.

(55:32):
Uh so, between his influence and now these championships, like
you put them on those lists of different people, like, yeah,
he's there with the Tom Landry's, like you you know
he's gonna be there, I think close to the Don
Shula is in terms of all these wins. I think
at a time in football where it's harder to keep
doing what the Chiefs are doing, year after year. All right,
so we're running out of time here, so we gotta
wrap things up. But I just want to real quick,

(55:53):
let's go through the sandwich props. Mark you have the
Eagles will run the Philly Special. Well maybe they should have.
There were there were a couple of moments where it
felt like it could be run, but you did not
get those We there was a moment we thought the
Chiefs might do it. I did not get to thank
you for the sound drop, Greggy. The Rainmaker came out
one more time. We talked about it was an important
legacy pick for the Rainmaker. You had aa to Checko

(56:15):
over forty seven and a half yards rushing. He had
close to seventy, I believe. I think I looked off
at the sky had that late third quarter run and
the rain was American. Were just sending me on Twitter,
just like you know who was celebrating the people in

(56:35):
the stadium because this place was loaded with birds fans
and then the old Zeuser. I did go out on
a limb. Yes, I said the Chiefs of Waltz to
a blowout win, Well, they gotta win. But I also
said Patrick Mahomes would not get sacked in this game
against an Eagles pass rush that had seventy eight sacks
coming into this game, and that is a credit to
office shanky. Paul Rudd, congratulations on your title. Uh, Paul Ruddy,

(57:00):
they're coming into the doors. Um, Paul Rudd, congratulations to you,
my friend. But great job by the offensive line. And
it's just the mastery of Mahmes and the mastery of
your sandwich props. So that might have been your best
one yet. I mean, there's people all over this stadium
right now. They're still taking pictures. It's all over, but
we are. It's good, good, good for you to get
into with the police and we're getting just that. This

(57:23):
dominant performance by me puts me into the all time
lead in terms of the So that's something you're gonna
have to deal with. And I say, before we go
and get arrested, all they'd be kind of cool to
bit arrested on Super Bowl Sunday podcast. There'd be something
punk rock all be the bad boys of the NFL.
I want to and I hope the authorities are okay
with this, but I want to thank everybody that made
this week happen. Um for the round the NFL where

(57:46):
the podcast is in such a great place, and then
part of it is because it's in great hands. So
thank you uh to Kleinman who who's about to get
hit by uh baton uh for us uh, Austin Graves

people at I Heart who gave us an amazing set

(58:07):

he's here helping us out. The whole crew back in Englewood,
Drew Christie, Um, who's the girl that didn't go to
our party live shrowd just saying like she should have
been there, should have Parker of course, he just didn't
want to name her. Parker and the whole crew there,

(58:29):
thank you for all your helps. Sean Kelly of course,
wait a minute, you I would thank us though, the
three of us. Yeah, well, ultimately, what's happening if we're
not here figures they're really getting edgy behind the scene.
We will have a story to tell, um and at
one image that will stick with me too is just
is uh Jason Kelsey staying on the field forever. He

(58:49):
stayed on the field forever with his brother hugging and
instead on the side taking pictures and it felt like
a goodbye. It felt like a very emotional yes. And
most of all, thank you to you the listener. Uh,
this is our tenth super Bowl in the stadium, eleven overall.
And the fact that we're able to do this for
a living. You give us a great life and we
