I got mad love for my brother @tkelce and I’m proud of all that he’s accomplished and I’m so darn happy for 1 of our games greatest receivers @DeAndreHopkins , Coach Reid & the @Chiefs. Wow God is good.
"He made 2 field goals of over 50 yards in the Super Bowl and he made the longest field goal in Super Bowl history... We 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 @buttkicker7 for the legend of Patrick Mahomes."
@KyleBrandt on the @Chiefs kicker
Chiefs win in old OT rules.
MEDIA: “These rules are absurd. Both teams must get a fair chance to possess the ball.”
Chiefs win in new OT rules.
MEDIA: “This is absurd. The clock has to be a factor.”
Just rewatched the Super Bowl. So many takeaways. Harrison Butker could have potentially been MVP, Spags needs a damn raise (whatever they are paying him, it's NOT enough), McDuffie was lights out, Chris Jones made multiple game changing plays, Justin Reid was everywhere, Mahomes was absolutely elite when the pressure was highest, special teams was lights out (blocked PAT and Jaylen Watson dove onto that muffed punt), Travis Kelce is still that guy, Andy Reid is the best coach in the NFL and I could go on and on.
DYNASTY.

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
