Chiefs prove to be ultimate ‘get it done’ team in Super Bowl LVII | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC 

Nick Bolton was a man on a mission last night. Dude is an absolute beast

The 2nd half adjustments by the Chiefs was spectacular.

The funny thing about this game was that it turned out exactly opposite of what the pundits said it would. The conventional wisdom was that the Eagles had the better overall team but the Chiefs had one player Mahomes who could win it on his own. When the game was played, Mahomes had a very good night but not a great one. Instead, the Chiefs outplayed the Eagles all over the field. They ran the ball successfully and schemed such that Mahomes never had to make a difficult throw. The Chiefs had seven possessions last night and scored four touchdowns and a field goal and should have had another field goal. The Eagles vaunted defense didn’t get a single sack and forced one punt. Meanwhile the defense held the Eagles running game to virtually nothing and forced Hurts into one passing situation after another and had Hurts under pressure all night. Take away Hurt's 70 yards rushing and the Eagles' running backs ran for 41 yards on 17 carries. That is an average of 2.4 yards per carry. So much for the Eagles having "the greatest offensive line in the NFL". The Chiefs' front seven absolutely dominated the Eagles' offensive line. The Eagles moved the ball because Jaylen Hurts' legs and ability to make one fantastic throw after another. I am not sure I have ever seen a position group under perform or depending on how you view it be more overrated than the Eagles offensive line was in this Super Bowl. The only reason the Chiefs didn’t win this game in a walk over was Hurts making one big time throw after another and being the only rushing threat the Eagles had. The Eagles not the Chiefs turned out to be the one man team not Mahomes.

Please , give the Chiefs defense props , The Toney punt return came after a defensive stop ! Big Props for the Stops, Chiefs D !

Chris was one of the only analyst that picked chiefs pre-season. Very smart an unbiased analyst, take notes Bart Scott you 🤡.

I don't think people realize how tough it was for Mahomes to have to play on a bum ankle in three playoff games in a row. Really impressive.

The key to the game was the Chief's ability to neutralize the best pass rush in the NFL. The Chiefs did it with quick screens, slants and sweeps. When Mahomes wanted to drop back and scan the field, there was no scary pressure.

Simms says Chiefs won 2 out of 3 Superbowls despite being the lesser team... Chiefs probably would have won the Bucs superbowl as well, because 2 months earlier they mauled that same team in a blowout. The difference between those two games was losing their entire starting offensive line. Chiefs went into the superbowl relying on a bunch of backups and that Bucs defense is way too good for that to work out.

Not only did Jalen Hurts fumble the ball, he conveniently kicked it in the right direction for the Chiefs to pick it up and run with it. Nightmare if you're an Eagles fan, but quite funny if you're a Commanders fan.

Chris you were the only one that picked the chiefs. You were the only one that said the. Chiefs are the best ! You know football! Good for you. Thankyou for all the nice things you say about the. Chiefs! Chiefs are. Superbowl Champs!

18 point turnaround!! down 10 to up 8…..greatness….yessssssss!!!

I think the way PM15 avoids the rush and manipulates the pocket, it's like having an extra O lineman in the game. He makes up for any mistakes they make, 9 times out of 10. And it's time to stop calling the Eagles the better team, they were beaten by the better team.

When Butker missed the field goal in the first half I was thinking this is not a good vibe going forward. Fortunately he made all of his extra points and made the last one to win it.

Imagine if Mahomes had a kicker. He might’ve been 16-1 this year and last night would’ve been 41-35 w/ a bit of a different narrative.

Chiefs did everything they wanted in the second half, the only desperation adjustment from Jonathan Gannon was blitzing. Not a smart plan if you're going against Mahomes and Reid

Definitely the fumble returned for the TD was the difference overall in the game not the holding call at the end on Juju which clearly was holding.

People keep talking about time of possession like it matters, when will people realize that it means precisely nothing.

Some Major things happened in this game that shocked everyone…. 1. How the chiefs easily blocked the Eagles d-line……2 How the chiefs Defense stopped Eagles run game so they couldn’t run the clock in the second half 3. How the chiefs scored 31 pts in 24 minutes…..4. How the chiefs scored on every drive in the second half. 5 How the chiefs had the better running game. 6. Mahomes was able to run in the second half. 7. Jalen Hurts looked like a stud. 8. How the refs continue to look for their shine in the game like they are the players.

Patrick didn't get a shot @ halftime 🤷‍♂️....Cyborgs do not require pain killers 🪓😉👍

How sweet it is, how sweet it is..

Eagles came out and got us. We was missing tackles, getting beat at the line and I as a Chiefs fan was worried going into the half. I knew we was good the last few games at making adjustments at the half and even during the game so I had hope with Mahomes and the guys. The D cleaned it up, played much better and was making tackles and the O what can I say they came out firing and the O lone did it's job. Coaching was great just the tail of two half's. Eagles will be back, Bengals, Bills and a few new ones next year but the Chiefs will be in that mix also. Great game!

Chiefs brilliant move in saving Kadarius Toney foe crunch time and he delivered. Longest punt return in the history of the Super Bowl. His lateral and backward juke fried the Eagles. And apart is the quintessential leader and distributor of the ball

Eagles front four biggest losers of the SB. Zero sacks, minimal pressure and when they got a mitt on Mahomes couldn’t bring him down.

Before mahomes but after reid came to KC, the KCC have always been underrated, truth is they win close games. I know it isn't satisfying that they don't dog walk lesser teams, but they tend to find a way to win.

They have that coaching where you are like they can just make great adjustments

The Eagles had an all star team but they played the easiest schedule and the least injuries all season. I would have liked to see if Hurts could lead a game tying drive in the Super Bowl because I don’t think he’s had to do that this whole year. But in the end that was a penalty no matter what time in the game or what game it was.

That was holding. Fight me

The Eagles looked to me like they were desperately trying to hang on to the lead. They needed a big lead going into the 4th Qtr because if it was close you knew the Chiefs were going to find a way, that's what they do

The Oline for the Chiefs was working so hard allowing zero sacks from the best sacking team in the NFL. Toney was the secret weapon as promised. The blocking by the running backs and Bell helped alot. You know a team will do anything to win sacrificing their bodies on every 3rd or 4th and 1 even though they did not stop them. Oh also Mahomes and Kelce do not like to be disrespected or told they will lose a game. You can ask the Raiders and Bengals about that lol.

The chiefs won due to a complete package - coaching, scheming, players, leadership. Eagles had a much tighter team from top to bottom, but Jalen’s outstanding individual performance couldn’t override the Chief Total Package. Even if the “call” didn’t occur, there’s no guarantee the eagles would not have blundered again. Speculators be damned.

The hurts fumble was big, but its being a bit overstated. If he's sacked or throws an incomplete, it's 4th and 6, they likely punt. The Cheifs could've gotten those 7 points, 4 minutes later, just in a different way.

Mahomes QBR 131.8 Hurts QBR 103.4

I have a feeling this won't be the last time these two meet in the big game

It’s funny how so many people felt the Eagles were far superior. Chiefs have the best player in the game and a team that just won’t quit.

I won my playoff pool Thanks for the assistance

Philly Defense let them down Big Time

Jonathan Gannon and his defense got exposed on every level possible.

MAHOMES SAID, HE DID NOT TAKE A SHOT AT HALFTIME.

Philly was build to rush QB and ignore tuning on them KC proved what niners said for weeks with good qb Philly will give up 35+ points. Kc got the ball out quick and did 6.1 yard/ run

The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl Champions again. Super Bowl Champs 1970, 2020, and 2023. Deal with it

Come as team mates...leave as family...

"It had no business being 14-14." 🤷‍♂️ Sometimes players fail and make mistakes. Speaking in these dogmatic absolutes drives me crazy.

The first half felt lopsided...but had hurts not fumbled, he was getting tackled for a loss by Bolton, the best tackler on the field. He dropped the ball because he didn't expect him to be in his face so fast. That would have been 4th and long. They punt. The chiefs drive and score. The 1st half would have felt different if the chiefs had driven down for that td instead of getting the fumble. Chiefs had 3 possessions in the first half. A td, a missed field goal after driving deep into eagles territory, and just prior to the 2 minute warning where Reid lost track of the time and forgot he could still run the ball with 3 timeouts, 2 minutes, and the ball close to mid field. Being one dimensional allowed the eagles defense to play pass only and force their only punt. That fumble changed everything about that first half. It essentially robbed the chiefs of a possession making it feel one-sided. Chiefs moved the ball whenever they had it, outside of one pass happy drive.

Great segment 👏

did the quality get better? i feel like the show doesn't normally look so hd

The fumble and the great run on the punt won the game for the chief's.

This Defense picks it up and seems to come through when it counts….teams get a few nice plays off then get over confident and get punched in the mouth! With that said…give credit to whoever is doing the scouting on their draft picks…The late round draft picks are not only playing but Starting along with the rest of early picks….That Insane! This team is set up to keep winning…Sky Moore is gonna be a problem when he gets it all together…Pacheco is running like Marion Barber did…ANGRY! Karlaftis McDuffie Watson Williams and Chenal all played significant time…The Chiefs are going nowhere anytime soon🤷🏻‍♂️

The biggest problem was the Eagles defense was a no show, you all are low key trying to say Jalen was the reason for the Eagles lost, stop the nonsense smh

You guys act like eagles could have kept driving if Jalen doesnt fumble lmao

Mike, you were wrong and Chris, once again you were correct. Next………

I thought the game was over when Eagles were up 24-14 and Mahomme got hurt in 2nd quarter.

If the Chiefs get another super bowl in the next two years, it’s definitely a dynasty at that point. CHIEFS! Burrow who? Allen who?

What alot of people are missing is that the Chiefs out rushed the Eagles in this game. The eagles could not sop the run game of the chiefs all night.

Did you know the Sky Sports team was using your desk when you weren't there?

If anything the longer the game went on the more the Eagles were going to get steam rolled LOL. If the game went to overtime the Chiefs would have won IMHO.

Nice analyses, now we all know why the game is played for 60 minutes rather than 30 minutes.

Quez also drops a ball that gives them a 1st and goal.

Chris calling us a dynasty after all this time is going to make me cry. We finally got there.

Gannon and his awful zone coverage was eaten up by mahomes so dam frustrating he was completely out coached

let's not forget about Tim Tebow though, I mean, what a player!

The entire Kansas City metro area went silent when Mahomes went down just before halftime.

Some of these arguments do not make sense, it’s all perception. To say that one team is better than the other is just speculation. The chiefs seemed to have had a way harder schedule so the eagles, were only better in theory. And to say they “should have” been up by 14, is just not accurate. Most people have said they believed the chiefs were the physical team. That was probably or possibly in Hurts’ head. Which literally then caused the fumble, it wasn’t purely a mistake if that’s the case. The physical presence and play of Bolten made an impact. And then he scooped it up and scored. That’s not coincidence most likely. The Chiefs were the number two defense if I’m not mistaken, but wouldn’t they actually be higher then that, if it were possible to actually measure strength of schedule? They actually may have been the better defense in theory, but not perceived as such. If you look at the stats they had 1 sack and the eagles had zero. So they were better in that category. A lot of these perceptions are not fully based on reality a lot of the time, it’s based on hype. And ease of schedule seemed to play a part in the actually game. They did not get a sack. But they did in all their other games. So we say they did not perform when it mattered the most. Or they got outplayed. Those things matter! The chiefs having less stats during the season may have nothing to do with their skill level and way more to do with who they played. We see who the better team was. Literally by definition who ever wins is the better team. They played better. They won the micro battles, Mahomes played with the calls from the coach, and the receivers and others involved played so that it allowed him to accomplish those things. It all interconnected, but we are pathetic and isolate and individualize everything instead of looking at it with all the pieces. The chiefs are better. They performed better from top to bottom. The eagles being the better team is all theoretical until in the game, reality is shown. We have categories and say oh the eagles let up, or didn’t show up in the second half and they should have done blah blah blah. That is all theoretical. How you perform and respond to the circumstance is live and if you have never been there, you can still do it better, but if you don’t, then that means you’re not better. If I let a lead influence my play. I am n it better than the other team. I am just winning at the moment. But if I soften up, then I’m not better, my mentality is weak and it has an effect on everything

I think the Eagles are laying out a blueprint for a new aggressive style of football. Teams would do well to take a look and figure out ways to copy it. Unfortunately the Chiefs have Mahomes so you just have to be perfect or pray Mahomes is off, which he wasn't.

Chiefs, nuf said

Eat it phili fans eat it!!

6:25 that’s not right… you switch the ball to the outside arm to get it away from the defender not so the ball can go out of bounds bro lol

With a defense of score, eagles offense goes back on field so of course they will have possession time..

the Chiefs' OL were dominate agianst a team they were expected to get destroyed by.

So true!!😞😞🏈🏈👏🏾👏🏾

Simms is right. KC has never been a big favorite in a SB unlike some multiple win teams.

It would have been awesome to see KC up 3 with the Eagles having to score on a 2 minute drill to survive

At The end of the Day Winners cheer and losers cry, history remembers the WINS not the details.

Constant Lane Johnson false starts, Bolton should have had 2 TDs, DPI on lots ofChiefs passing attempt goes uncalled…. CHIEFS!!!

The argument that the Eagles were running away with it, if it wasn’t for Bolton’s recovery/TD is just silly. At this point of the game, each team had one drive with a punt and only the Eagles’ start with the ball gave them a score lead.

He's right 24 14 shouldn't be the score!!! Should of been 21 17 for the chiefs!!! Since that wasn't a fumble wink wink

I knew the Chiefs had it in the bag when Mahomes came out in the 2nd half without a limp.

Chiefs took their best shot.. and came back.

The chiefs defense couldn’t do anything right in the first half. There was no stopping the eagles. I wasn’t expecting them to stuffing up so much and start to stop the eagles when it mattered most.

Hope Mike and Chris do baseball too!

It could’ve been 24-17 if KC makes FG, that’s what u forgot

Sadly looking like Chris Simms' legacy as a player having been a bust who only got the opportunity being his daddy's son will be overshadowed by his legacy as a football analyst having been and stubbornly continuing to be so wrong about Jalen Hurts. Aside from that, congrats to the Chiefs and their fans. That was a really great Super Bowl.

Eagles got away from what they did best...they didn't adjust the way we rushed the QB, they didn't adjust the way we ran the ball and they didn't adjust the way the secondary covered receivers down field. Once Hurts fumbled the ball, things went down hill...Had we scored a TD on that drive and started blitzing Mahomes we would've won easily...the dude had one leg bro..should've blitz his ass every play

Jalen would be the first MVP for a losing team... he was brilliant

Why does everyone say the Chiefs were not the best team? 7 straight AFC WEST Champions, 5 consecutive AFC Championship appearances, and 3 Superbowl appearances in 4 years.... (The Chiefs do not seem to be the worst team.) ... Maybe your east/west coast bias is showing? The experts picked the Chiefs to be 4th best in the AFC west this year.

Congratulations to Chris for being correct about Jalen Hurts all season 👏👏

24 TO 14 AT HALFTIME! THAT WASN'T A HUGE MOMENT! STOP LYING CHRIS!

Not interested in "Peacock"

Kansas City is just a better second half team

The chiefs have 100% been the lesser team in every Super Bowl because of the defense. But in 2/3 they’ve had Mahomes

Bolton should have been MVP

Everyone on the fox set choose the eagles

I don't think people realize how tough 4 games or a messed-up shoulder that Jalen hurts played and costly keep getting hit after hit every single game

We also missed a field goal and had a fumble overturned

Kansas City’s offense moved the ball at will in first half,It didn’t matter the Eagles couldn’t win regardless against this Squad!

First off! The EAGLES didn't let the CHIEFS hang around. The CHIEFS are a great team. It wasn't as if they were there due to some charity event. That CHIEFS O-Line has been underestimated for the prior 2 weeks. And if you go back and look at the game there were plays where CHIEFS' tackle Wylie actually had some of Philly's best D-linemen pancaked! The ultimate show of offensive line domination! And I want to point out this talk about MAHOMES being shot up with some enhancements at halftime. This just shows that this guy Florio has not a shred of athlete in him. Old saying. When the going gets tough, MAHOMES GET GOING!

Mike got a new shirt !

Florio looks high as hell

Mahome-e Big Medicine... Go Chiefs !!!

maholmes went on safari big game hunting ....he bagged a jaguar a bengal tiger and an eagle. good hunting my man

God is a Chiefs fan
