![]() ![]() Regardless, the Chiefs scored another field goal, and the Bucs scored a touchdown and field goal. The Chiefs didn’t make any adjustments offensively or defensively, and the Bucs didn’t need to make any adjustments. This quarter was boring in the sense that nothing changed from either side. They were definitely a major reason for why the Chiefs lost on Sunday. They started to play worse and worse, giving up penalties left and right, showing a lack of discipline. However, the one key part I will point out in the Bucs’ success, was the Chiefs’ defense. However, similar to the first quarter, the Bucs started to mesh even better, and Brady was able to lead the Bucs offense to two touchdowns in this quarter, putting them up by 15 at the end. ![]() They again only scored a field goal by the end of this quarter and were starting to show more and more signs of slowing down. The Chiefs were still being contained, and not a single big play happened. Even in the last quarter, I thought that adjustments could have been made, such as giving Hill shorter routes, rather than trying to run him deep on most pass plays, but nothing of the sort happened. This quarter was when it all went wrong for the Chiefs. However, on the other end, Brady was learning the Bucs to decent drives and while he may not have scored on every one, he was able to score a touchdown in the final drive of the first quarter. As a result, the usually explosive Chiefs offense started to slow down and only scored a field goal by the end of the quarter. Also, the Buccaneer’s defensive line started applying more and more pressure to Mahomes, especially due to the fact that most of the Chief’s offensive line was injured. There were no more long shots taken, and it seemed that Tyreek Hill was being shut out completely due to double teams. Then, as I watched the game more closely, I began to notice a shift in Mahomes’s game. This quarter began with a couple of missed opportunities and it really looked like a normal, albeit boring game. Thus, it was only natural that fans and the media began to hype up this game to be a once in a lifetime game, because let’s face it, it was in theory. Along with the QB matchup, there were also the other storylines including the possible back to back Super Bowl champions (Chiefs) and the “Brady winning without Belichick” narrative. As a result, this Super Bowl became a must-see game in which Mahomes could either prove himself as the future, or Brady could cement himself further as the GOAT of not only football, but perhaps all sports. While I always thought that it was too early to even begin having the conversation of “Could Patrick Mahomes be the GOAT,” sports media thought differently. This game was so hyped up because of the QB matchup. But before I even talk about the actual events of the Super Bowl itself, I’ll start by talking about the history behind the game matchup. ![]() That’s all I can say about what just happened this past Sunday. ![]()
