The #Chiefs drafted all of these guys in 2022 after trading away Tyreek Hill:
- CB Trent McDuffie*
- EDGE George Karlaftis*
- WR Skyy Moore
- S Bryan Cook
- LB Leo Chenal*
- CB Joshua Williams
- OT Darian Kinard
- CB Jaylen Watson
- RB Isiah Pacheco*
- CB Nazeez Johnson
They are 7-0 in the playoffs and 2-0 in the Super Bowl since this draft class.
This set Kansas City up nicely. Chiefs are positioned well for a three-peat in 2024.
Watch Kelce's outside release. It engages Ward so he could not react to Hardman. Even if he sprints hard to Hardman, he would have left a huge window for Kelce. Details matter. Great play design and execution.
KC traded away the single most lethal weapon in the league.
Their first year w/o him, Mahomes won MVP, they had the #1 O & scored 38 in the SB despite Mahomes’ injury.
This year, they had the league’s best defense *because of the trade* & are gonna win the Super Bowl again.
the fact that KC keeps Spags to run this D is almost unfair
everyone thought CMC would run thru this KC #28 ranked run defense
Spags held CMC to 3.6 YPC
his lowest YPC in any game that he had Trent Williams at LT
Spags is an absolute genius DC
GIVE HIM HIS FLOWERS
the scariest part about this Super Bowl?
this was supposed to be the year to knock off the Chiefs
Mahomes was most expensive cap hit in NFL at $37M
his OL was weakened
his WR1 was a rookie
they were forced to play SIX STRAIGHT GAMES at a REST DISADVANTAGE weeks 12-17, the ONLY time a team had to do that in NFL history
they had to play in Germany
they didn't get a 1st round bye
they had to play on the road in the Divisional Round as an underdog
they had to play on the road in the Conference Championship round as an underdog
they were underdogs in the Super Bowl and were losing by double digits
it was the TOUGHEST PATH to a Super Bowl based on strength of opponent faced EVER
and they STILL won the Super Bowl
