As a Missourian and Chiefs fan, 10 years ago we felt lucky just to have a winning season. I thought Alex Smith was finally taking our team somewhere. But ended up short. Mahomes came in. So many people thought he wasn't the answer we needed. He turned this team around so fast, his first year Patriots ruined our chances but you couldn't be more proud in a QB than Mahomes. That Super Bowl win in 2020 was the most emotional time as a KC sports fan. I'm just enjoying every bit of this Mahomes team while it lasts. He's already HOF worthy
As a Broncos fan, now I understand what the Bills, Dolphins, and Jets felt like for two decades with Brady in their division. If the Broncos ever beat the Chiefs when Mahomes doesn’t have the flu, I will feel as if we won a superbowl because that’s how damn good you all are. Also, I don’t care if Kelce plays as a modern tight-end which receives the ball more. If ANYBODY beats a record held by Jerry Rice they are instantly an all time great. Enjoy the success while it lasts, maybe the Broncos will beat you guys at some point during the next 17 games. 🧡💙
True but without that awful whistle on forward progress against the Titans when Derrick Johnson ran back that TD put the game out of reach , I believe Smith would have a super bowl
The Chiefs success is exactly what us St. Louis fans needed after we lost the Rams. We've for the most part adopted the Chiefs as our hometown team also since the Rams have left.
@chetsenior7253 Literally everyone saying this isn't the Chiefs year, their offense is a mess, Kelce is over the hill, etc... Where you been? You must be new here.
I think they both know Kelce will be retiring soon and are trying to do the best they can with the time they have left. I think Kelce has at most 2 solid seasons left in him. His body has been taking a beating last couple years.
@@TalkingThrones What are you alking about? everybody praise them every day of the week and twice on sunday. Anyway seems like you have already won so congratulation
The chiefs scoring on their first and second drives, meant Ravens play catch up. All the rest is noise, but Ravens play different when they are behind, a certain desperation and chance taking throws, Throws they normally wouldn't try to force them into play......it was a game plan from the chiefs that had to start with chiefs scoring first and staying ahead, and then, just game manage after that until the end. Brilliant really.
Exactly right. When a bully ball team gets behind, they sometimes get rattled. Mahomes didn't take any extraordinary chances after they were ahead. Brilliant first half, and brilliant execution.
I am still in awe of Spag's planning and coaching during this game. Watching the D-Line creating literal picket lines around Lamar, caging him in, daring him to throw the ball, not even rushing, just standing there with their hands at chest level and looking him in the eye, was just masterful football intelligence (still sacked him four times). Ravens destroyed every other worthy opponent on their quest to the Bowl and were defeated by the Final Boss.
Bro, looking back at it a day later, im still just an awe of how truly elite Spags is at what he does. Dude literally took this defense to another level tbis year and it’s only gunna keep getting better. Like everybody said, if you were gunna get the chiefs, tbis was the year to do it. When they’re the most vulnerable. If you couldn’t do It this year, you might as well just pack it in. Cause this team is only gunna keep getting better. This will be the worst team of the Mahomes era and they still might hoist the Lombardi trophy. I don’t think people actually understand the greatness that we’re all witnessing right now.
Rich, your analysis of this game is the best I’ve heard so far. I analogize the way the Chiefs handle a second half lead to the way a hockey team goes into a defensive shell to protect a lead. It’s dump and chase much of the time and take a long shot when the opportunity presents itself. It’s good strategy in my opinion.

@@DadbotPeople who don't know football said that the Chiefs offense didn't do anything in the 2nd half. Mahomes has figured out the art of winning. They just run run punt and play defense when they are up by two scores. When he needs to be aggressive, Mahomes does. It's by design. They gave the best QB of a generation a defense finally (like Brady had when he started).

@@Bruno2777 This is ridiculous take that he never blocks. He doesnt often, but thats because he's a better pass catcher than those others mentioned. he's an above average blocker though people look down on him claiming he cant block.
@@dalehammers4425 Because it is EXTREMELY rare that he blocks. He almost never blocks on passing downs because he's a primary receiver so that leaves rush blocking pretty much exclusively and he is a below average run blocker, statistically speaking. Compared to Gronk, who is a greater play maker than Kelce is but probably doesn't have his hands but was an all time great at blocking for the position. It isn't a ridiculous take it just upsets Chiefs fans to talk about it because they think it diminishes him. He's great at what he does, but he's essentially a WR that lines up at the TE spot.
Spags and that Chiefs D deserves all the credit for their win yesterday. Holding Lamar and that offense to 10 total points is insanity. Not to mention Sneed and McDuffie played their tails off!
@@stevenmeyer9674 I see Purdy as a slightly better version of Jimmy G.. And he almost won a Superbowl. And the Baltimore loss is more on the coaching staff than Lamar imo, even tho he threw the pick, the playcalling was atrocious for most of the game.
They didn’t score in the second half because their game plan was to shorten the game. They knew once Lamar felt like he had to pass the ball the game was over. At that point just keep the clock moving on offense. Mahomes and Reid played that game perfectly.
Having a donut in the second half is not playing a half perfectly, they need to do better with that in my opinion, could’ve put the game to rest and also could’ve lossed if Baltimore didn’t turn the ball over
They won..... that is ultimately the goal of every game. They won in a tightly planned game while the Ravens looked like college freshmen taking trash, making fumbles and running scared@@CarlGoat-ju9kn
@@CarlGoat-ju9kn do you honestly think that they wouldnt have played differently if the Ravens scored more points? You play the game according to how the game is unfolding before you. Considering the circumstances, they played it right. Would we have liked to see more points? Yes. But a more aggressive offense leads to more chances for that defense to make plays. They didnt play aggressive because they didnt need to.
@@CarlGoat-ju9kn no one said they played perfect. But to other points. Does anyone watching that game feel like it was ever in doubt on the 2nd half. And if it ever became in doubt they would have amped up. Like when they had to seal the game they make a big play to MVS.
What really helped the chiefs is Rice's emergence as a reliable receiver and Kadarius Toney doing his part by staying off the famn field. Also MVS remembering to catch the ball
Chiefs went into Buffalo when everyone said they'd lose and won. They go into Baltimore where they were for sure gonna lose and won. Put some respect on their name! LFG♥️💛♥️💛♥️
KC's offense sputtered for most of the season. The Chiefs' defense has been performing at an epic level and arguably the best defensive unit Mahomes has ever had since he arrived in KC. The goat just wins and refuses to be denied in big games. Mr. Clutch!
To be fair, most of the KC's sputtering was due to dropped balls and mistakes. They benched Toney and Moore is out hurt, 2 of the worst offenders in the drops. And they are cutting back on the mistakes. MVS making ridiculous catches these last 2 games has been a massive help too.... finally.
Joe Burrow will NEVER win a Super Bowl as long as Mahomes is with the Chiefs. Burrow is too arrogant and injury-prone. I can see Allen getting a ring, someday.
Man Rich, this is so darn spot on, and after that SB win.... Mahomes is like a Goat already. I can't even imagine where this will end. My poor niners never stood a chance, did they?
Kermit the Frog has the league on Easy mode it’s fuckin unbelievable the start to his career. I’m an Eagles fan and he took our hearts last year…..but man gotta give it to him. On his way to GOAT status.
I know there was a lot of bad blood between the fans after that game, but I absolutely hand it to Hurtz and that team. They left it all on the field and gave KC a fight.
Bruh we need to stop giving the chiefs motivation, they are competitive enough. "Oh Mahomes hasn't played a road playoff game, the receivers can't catch, now they miss Tyreek, Travis is getting older" IT DOESNT MATTER. They are always gonna be good and we gotta stop acting like they have something to prove when they DONT
They don't need us to do that for them, they will do that for themselves. Ever seen some of the stuff MJ would basically make up for motivation? Even if no one ever said they were underdogs, or couldn't do it, ever again, like all great competitors they'd just find something. Even if they had to manufacture it.
I honestly felt like the Chiefs were playing with the Ravens. Like they dared Lamar and the Ravens OC to make the next move. Showtime Mahomes ia built different in the Playoffs.
The ravens looked like they were nervous and anxious the whole game. Mahomes has been to so many postseason games at this point he probably doesn't even notice a difference in his game.
@@Jerid58 They actually did early but it was stuffed, then they got behind. They didnt just decide to stop running it, the Chiefs forced their hand. People dont seem to notice this part. Its easy to just run run run when you have a lead, but when you are trailing against a team that can score in bunches, you cant do that. Plus their one successful drive was off the pass, not the run.
@@Jerid58do you understand how football works or are you a casual? Chiefs took off 18 mins with their first 2 scoring drives. If ravens kept running the ball they had no chance
I honestly think it’s more beneficial to your team to struggle in the regular season. You get more experience in tight situations. Ravens didn’t have much going into this because they dominated everyone.
“Maauto” had his seat belt on, was totally locked in, and quite impressively 13:17 drove the Chiefs Express bus right over the Ravens! Mahomes (WOW!) is the architect and owner of the “Arrowhead Bubble”! Eisen has a unique gift of presenting information, history and statistics in a very clever, fun, humorous and honest way! Thank you
@@sirhoopalot1125 he did vs Philly in a loss, Falcons & Seattle comeback. Which is more impressive given what Brady had to work with and the amount of production the offense produced. KC scoring 17pts this run, yea that’s 90% defense and 10% #4.
@@Chiefs555 Mahomes is being carried by his defense this year what are you taking about they just completely shut down 2 of the best offenses in the NFL in Dolphins and Ravens they are avg 13 Points against in the playoffs
Patrick Mahomes reminds me a lot of Kobe and Michael. Totally savage work ethic, and they lead their team to be the best they can be. I also think that Kelce has been recovering from an injury all year, and is just finally getting back to his usual form.
I think you're underestimating the Niners. Two come-from-behind playoff victories over good teams. The sign of a great team is the ability to come from behind and win the game during crunch time.
@@tomcollins5112Honestly...Who's been underestimated more than Mahomeboy? Underdogs in 4:29 every game so far this postseason and underdogs in the Superbowl, again after being to 6 straight AFC Championship Games. WHO'S BEING UNDERESTIMATED?
Chief fan here. I admit - I doubted my own team, by mid-season thought it wasn’t our year, wrote us off til next year. And hear we are. Shame on me!!! 😮 - lock the door.
I've been a Chiefs fan from a boy and I'm old now. I watch the SB we won in 69 season. This is so sweet to see and live to see it because we sucked for years but the fan base stood with them. We was the spoiler team for our SB never getting to the big dance. I'm loving it as a big fan of football that my team is the one doing this!! Chiefs fans that just got into Chiefs kingdom in the last 10 years or so don't understand this isn't the way it's done.
I was 18 months old when the Chiefs won SB IV....and in the next 50 years the Chiefs appeared in only ONE AFC Championship Game (for the youngsters here, the first four Superbowls were prior to the AFL-NFL merger, so there was no such thing as an AFC.....). They made it to the AFC CG one of the years when the Bills went to four straight SBs back in the early '90s, when Joe Montana was the Chiefs' QB. So now to make SIX straight AFC CGs in the Mahomes era is absurd, and I'm just lapping up every single second of it.
They didn’t have to put up any points in the second half, Patrick said they got the lead, and the defense kept it. The defense really took the pressure off Mahomes, all he had to do was, take care of the ball, and let the defense work, they both get paid, sometimes, “the defense” wins games, and those were the adjustments made at halftime, stop them from scoring, take it down by down, protect the ball, and manage the game, to you it looks like Baltimores defense stopped Mahomes, (when they couldn’t do it just 30 minutes ago) and gives them something to hang their hat on, but this was the adjustment at half time, what else did they need to do, but protect the lead, you do that, you win, it was about the Defense, and Patrick Mahomes just happens to be the Star on the team, and their focus. It was a masterclass in mind manipulation.
Chiefs, I normally don’t care about you. I get a little sick of you winning, but there’s no denying you deserve it. As a Lions fan, and an angry one at that, I just ask you one thing. Manhandle them. Don’t give them an ounce of hope. Don’t let them score a point. Show them how useless all their efforts have been. Would you have done the same for the Lions? Sure. But at least then we could consider our loss a gift of mercy. 45-0 Chiefs, Super Bowl Sunday. Mark my words. Sincerely, a Lions Fan.
Every Chiefs fan I know, including myself, were pulling for the Lions. We'd feel less disappointed if we lost to Detroit in SB. You guys deserve a win.
as a Chiefs fan I really wanted you guys to get there and I wouldn't even care if we lost to you guys. We've been through heartache before Mahomes but no where near what you guys have endured for half a century. If the Lions ever get to be great where fansbases start hating them I may lose hope for humanity
Your team sucked for so long so you now deserve a championship? Nobody deserves it, your team has to play well enough to get you there, then you get the bragging rights. I'm glad we're not playing the lions because all you snowflakes would be wanting to charity a championship to the lovable underdog. The niners deserve the shot they earned it. Bringem on! Lions next year? Could be their turn, we'll see.
If/when the Chiefs win this Super Bowl, Mahomes will get all the credit but it is the Chief's defense that earned them the success they've had this year.
Its annoying that people think the offense struggled in the sencond half, andy reid was CLEARLY being ultra conservative. Seemed like every drive was run run screen punt, the goal was try and chew clock, dont make mistakes or turnovers, and let the defense do their thing.
I’ve been a Chiefs fan since they moved to KC when I was a kid. Dad bought season tickets when they played at Municipal Stadium and we paid a guy $2 to park in his yard. He reserved that spot for dad because he brought him a 1/5 of whiskey at the last game of each season. I was at the longest game in NFL history vs Dolphins on Christmas Day. I was at the first game ever at Arrowhead. I have supported the Chiefs in years when you could walk up to the ticket window on game day and buy a ticket and the years when we were oh so close. I’m almost ready for Medicare now and relishing ever moment of the Andy/Mahomes/Kelce era. GO CHIEFS!!!
Since the start of Kelce & Mahomes playing together they’ve always known that their time with each other would be limited but god knows they have put in 100% every season to make sure that not a single year is wasted! They are best friends who play for each other on another level
KC Native and been here my whole life. about 10 years ago we had multiple 2-14 and 4-12 seasons all in a row. Chiefs fans are eating up every moment of the Mahomes era. 31-21 Chiefs over Niners.
Don't overlook that Kelce has the receptions record and is 3 TDs and ~500 yards behind Rice's other two records in NINE, repeat that NINE, fewer games. We should also point out the biggest weakness in Kelce's game is Jump Balls. He's not like Gates, Gonzalez, and Gronk where you loft one up in the endzone and let him go "get a rebound" like those converted basketball players. It's honestly crazy how dominant Kelce has been in the playoffs. Arguably the most dominant postseason stretch by any non-QB in league history.
Don’t forget the Chiefs are doing it with class and dignity. Not video taping opponents or under inflating balls, or racking up multiple personal fouls at the direction of the head coach. No fans throwing ice balls at players or coaches yelling obscenities at fans like Buffalo and Philly. Just line up and play football with a smile on their face and say thanks for the hospitality after ripping your heart out. ❤❤. GO CHIEFS!
Everything you said, but also let’s give Chris Jones as well as the KC Defense it’s due!! This is a dream situation where we have the spirit of the mid 90s Chiefs defense along with an amazing offense that can get it done !!! Derek Thomas is smiling from above! ☺️
There was a bogus holding call on Trey Smith that should have been a Rashee Rice TD & there was a missed tripping call on Chris Jones in the end zone that would've been a safety. This game should not have been close
Love the Chiefs family Lamar Hunt was a great man and here in Dallas we love him Lamar is looking down with great pride that his son is Clark is a great examples of how to run a NFL team.
Rich, I hope Brock Purdy and 49ers prove you wrong. Three years ago, 49ers were one missed throw away from defeating Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl. That was Jimmy Garoppolo. Now we have Brock Purdy.
Those aren't the same teams, last year kc won by 20 which is closer to this year than 19s team. Kcs defense is way better than ever before and although 49ers offense is better their defense is not dominant this year.
In this Not For Long league we better enjoy every moment of this! I've been blessed enough to see record's broken a few times.Yet, I still get excited to see someone new come up in the rank's. The stories of the men that play this game for a living, how they got there, what they had to overcome to become part of the elite athletes, to become that one percent is why I love football. To see the mastermind's of Andy and Spag's work together, to see the offense and defense both playing their roles...what a great time!! Thank you Chiefs for the journey!! Have a wonderful day everyone.
49ers better bring it, because the chiefs are battle tested and focused. 49ers are riding a high right now and the chiefs are riding pure determination.
Chiefs are the better team. Maybe Purdy can bring some of that good luck that everyone says he has. Hopefully it's competitive and a fun game to watch. I think most people would prefer to see the 9ers win just because they haven't in 30ish years and the Chiefs just won last year
That's the Chief's new way in 2nd half. The defense allows 7 or less and the offense has a lead and doesn't make mistake = WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER
I hope the 49ers can finally put it together. From losing in the SB to knocking on the door of the NFC championship 2 years in a row, it really feels like they're headed for that final crest of the mountaintop. But once again, it's another situation like the Ravens, where top to bottom, the 49ers have the better roster except at QB. If Shanahan can't out-coach Andy Reid, then he'll lose like the Ravens did. He needs to be on his A game because both of the playoff games thus far have looked incredibly shaky. Yes they pulled it out but it wasn't pretty
@@Tltnsbwuwowsbnot according to numbers.. 49rs have way better defense from top to bottom. The problem the niners have is going against Mahomes who’s absolutely amazing when everything is on the line. Look out for Purdy though, he seems to have that Mahomes type of cold blooded dna that could win anywhere anytime.
@@HermesMessenger Chiefs are better in Passing Yards, Total Yards, ant Points Per Game than the 9ers. 9ers are better in Rushing Yards. Chiefs have not allowed one 300 yard passing game all season. Chiefs allow the fewest 2nd half points of any team in the NFL.
@@tedduby2346 I feel like if you've watched this games this year, it's pretty easy to say the Chiefs defense is better. I think it will be somewhat of a miracle if the 9ers pull this off.
@@tedduby2346ppg is more of a wash were talking 4 points over 17 game here while the 9ers were 3rd. The offense of the 9ers were 3rd in points scored while the cheifs were 15th. At the end of the day points is what matters.
The cool thing about emotional intelligence is that you know you'll be OK, win or lose. And when you live in that space, you can stop the worry, the anxiety, and fear from interfering with your winning mindset. Winning mindset translates to winning games.
There is no QB who has ever been as fun to watch as Patrick Mahomes. There have been super-smart guys like Brady and Manning, there have been physically gifted guys who couldn't read a defense. Mahomes has the physical magic AND he has the brilliance between the ears. I wonder at people who don't love to watch the guy play this game.
Not that I'm a fan but prime Rodgers was probably better and more exciting to watch than Mahomes, and Josh Allen is more fun to watch. Just my opinion, I have no dog in the fight. Oh, Vick was fun.
Let's just ignore the fact that Brady didn't have a winning coach, a loaded offensive roster with a HOF tight end every year, and didn't play in a pass happy flag football era like Mahomes does now. And still accomplished what he did. Context matters folks.
America got sick of Brady and Belichick real quick. Doesn’t seem that way with Mahomes, except for people who root for rival teams. He’s created at least half of Chiefs Kingdom/ fandom himself (unlike those of us from KC, who were born into the pain of being a Chiefs fan.)
I got a $3000 bet in on the Chiefs +2 right after the Niners game ended. I assumed KC would be favored by 3 or 4 over San Fran, so seeing them actually get points was too good to pass up. I'd be surprised if the Mahomes vs Purdy matchup doesn't influence betting and push the line toward KC being a FG favorite by game day.
Can’t be “GOAT” when the rules have changed. If the game remained as violent as it was before I don’t think any of these players you’ve mentioned will have a long career. They protect quarterbacks and receivers in today’s game that was not there during Rice and Montana era. They’re playing football yes, but the goal posts how greatness is measured changed.
I think its fair to appreciate the amazing season Travis Kelce is having, on and off the field. The podcast keeps getting bigger. His girlfriend is arguably the biggest entertainer in the world. Sponsorships like he's never seen before. Breaking records nearly every week. Getting to another Superbowl. Just a heck of a year for him.
Patrick Mahomes is pretty much an inevitable type of QB, a generational talent. They’ve taken the most difficult road to the Super Bowl through the best teams in the AFC through the best opponents. I really believe they’ll be fully ready to play ball 🏈 against the 49ers. I also think he’s at a much 💨 faster pace than Brady, four Super Bowl appearances at the age of 28, 14 playoff wins it’s greatness at a high level.
Andy Reid is known for offense, but I recall that his teams in philly had some decent defenses under his tenure. This Chief's defense is like Khabib in MMA, just working you, choking you, tiring you, frustrating you into giving up. That's what this is really about. Mahomes is basically a game manager who needs to play at an elite level just to appear as a game manager given his lack of skill position support.
I am a Chiefs fan but I do not want to get cocky. But our defense forced Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson into awful red zone throws that ended their seasons. Not sure Brock Purdy can fare better.
Travis understands that if you catch balls for a living, you need to catch the ball. That concept has escaped the bulk of KC's WR core. (Rashee Rice excluded)
Betting against purdy is crazy the man is on his first full season and it's funny how when he wins it won't even be about him it will be everyone saying his defence did the work while he scores 30 points again and also mahomes is gonna have to score 30 points to beat the 49era and their offence is being saved by amazing defence right now it has nothing to do with mahomes ATM it's his defence winning games
The whole "catching Brady" talking point is dead. Mahomes is the GOAT. You can see it with your eyes, or with the stats. Mahomes could retire after this Super Bowl, and not need to play 20+ years to compile stats to "Catch Brady". It's a ridiculous conversation at this point.

It’s dump and chase much of the time and take a long shot when the opportunity presents itself. It’s good strategy in my opinion.
Great use of analogize
Mahomes growth to never take risk when leading anymore is impressive. Defense too good rn to not trust them

He almost never blocks on passing downs because he's a primary receiver so that leaves rush blocking pretty much exclusively and he is a below average run blocker, statistically speaking. Compared to Gronk, who is a greater play maker than Kelce is but probably doesn't have his hands but was an all time great at blocking for the position. It isn't a ridiculous take it just upsets Chiefs fans to talk about it because they think it diminishes him. He's great at what he does, but he's essentially a WR that lines up at the TE spot.
Spags and that Chiefs D deserves all the credit for their win yesterday. Holding Lamar and that offense to 10 total points is insanity. Not to mention Sneed and McDuffie played their tails off!
Lamar is as over hyped as Purdy is disrespected.
And that was missing 3 starters on D. Cook, Gay, and Nandi.
@@stevenmeyer9674 I see Purdy as a slightly better version of Jimmy G.. And he almost won a Superbowl.
And the Baltimore loss is more on the coaching staff than Lamar imo, even tho he threw the pick, the playcalling was atrocious for most of the game.
Sneed and McDuffie are game wreckers

The best thing about Rich is, he dosn't YELL every point like all the other talking, I mean Yelling-Heads do.
He is a bombast but less screamy
i don't like that he's too much a brady fanboy tho
Totally agree, the yelling on sports talk is ridiculous. This is the only sports talk show I can watch.
Chiefs ate that clock and didn’t turn the ball over. That defense is the best in the nfl.
thats a fact
Three playoff games against top-6-scoring offenses, allowed a total of 10 second-half points. That's how "defense wins championships".
Marty would be so proud.
Great take on the Chiefs by Rich today!
They didn’t score in the second half because their game plan was to shorten the game. They knew once Lamar felt like he had to pass the ball the game was over. At that point just keep the clock moving on offense. Mahomes and Reid played that game perfectly.
Having a donut in the second half is not playing a half perfectly, they need to do better with that in my opinion, could’ve put the game to rest and also could’ve lossed if Baltimore didn’t turn the ball over
They won..... that is ultimately the goal of every game. They won in a tightly planned game while the Ravens looked like college freshmen taking trash, making fumbles and running scared@@CarlGoat-ju9kn
@@CarlGoat-ju9knwhy give it all away when you don't have to?
@@CarlGoat-ju9kn do you honestly think that they wouldnt have played differently if the Ravens scored more points? You play the game according to how the game is unfolding before you. Considering the circumstances, they played it right. Would we have liked to see more points? Yes. But a more aggressive offense leads to more chances for that defense to make plays. They didnt play aggressive because they didnt need to.
@@CarlGoat-ju9kn no one said they played perfect. But to other points. Does anyone watching that game feel like it was ever in doubt on the 2nd half. And if it ever became in doubt they would have amped up. Like when they had to seal the game they make a big play to MVS.
What really helped the chiefs is Rice's emergence as a reliable receiver and Kadarius Toney doing his part by staying off the famn field. Also MVS remembering to catch the ball
Chiefs went into Buffalo when everyone said they'd lose and won. They go into Baltimore where they were for sure gonna lose and won. Put some respect on their name! LFG♥️💛♥️💛♥️

KC's offense sputtered for most of the season. The Chiefs' defense has been performing at an epic level and arguably the best defensive unit Mahomes has ever had since he arrived in KC. The goat just wins and refuses to be denied in big games. Mr. Clutch!
Not arguably this is the best defense
Best Defense in the league...
To be fair, most of the KC's sputtering was due to dropped balls and mistakes. They benched Toney and Moore is out hurt, 2 of the worst offenders in the drops. And they are cutting back on the mistakes. MVS making ridiculous catches these last 2 games has been a massive help too.... finally.
Joe Burrow should focus more on not getting injured all the time and actually winning the SB instead of social media chime-ins.
Agreed!! Seriously!! Joe Burrow, you're tweeting FROM YOUR COUCH!!
Joe Burrow will NEVER win a Super Bowl as long as Mahomes is with the Chiefs. Burrow is too arrogant and injury-prone. I can see Allen getting a ring, someday.
@@StrongmanBrian I hope Josh Allen does get a ring one day. He's a great player and he is also a great human!

"Oh Mahomes hasn't played a road playoff game, the receivers can't catch, now they miss Tyreek, Travis is getting older" IT DOESNT MATTER. They are always gonna be good and we gotta stop acting like they have something to prove when they DONT
So true. And now Mahomes is the underdog in SB
😂
When reading your post I could help but hear Jason kelce’s drunken speech voice from their Super Bowl parade.
No, just keep telling us we are garbage and we can't win for whatever reason. We like it.
They don't need us to do that for them, they will do that for themselves. Ever seen some of the stuff MJ would basically make up for motivation? Even if no one ever said they were underdogs, or couldn't do it, ever again, like all great competitors they'd just find something. Even if they had to manufacture it.
THANOS: "Im...inevitable..."

Mahomes looked exhausted last year. Look at him back then. He was racoon-eyed and he STILL won the Super Bowl. Dude looks way healthier now.

I honestly felt like the Chiefs were playing with the Ravens. Like they dared Lamar and the Ravens OC to make the next move. Showtime Mahomes ia built different in the Playoffs.
The ravens looked like they were nervous and anxious the whole game. Mahomes has been to so many postseason games at this point he probably doesn't even notice a difference in his game.
@@cap2205 yeah, i agree. Plus, the Chiefs do not let the noise bother them. All this talk about the Ravens. Chiefs took it and went to work.

@@Jerid58 They actually did early but it was stuffed, then they got behind. They didnt just decide to stop running it, the Chiefs forced their hand. People dont seem to notice this part. Its easy to just run run run when you have a lead, but when you are trailing against a team that can score in bunches, you cant do that. Plus their one successful drive was off the pass, not the run.
@@Jerid58do you understand how football works or are you a casual? Chiefs took off 18 mins with their first 2 scoring drives. If ravens kept running the ball they had no chance
I honestly think it’s more beneficial to your team to struggle in the regular season. You get more experience in tight situations. Ravens didn’t have much going into this because they dominated everyone.
Ravens got arrogant and complacent. They believed they deserved the win. Nobody deserves a win in this league, you go out and earn it.
“Maauto” had his seat belt on, was totally locked in, and quite impressively 13:17 drove the Chiefs Express bus right over the Ravens!

@@sirhoopalot1125 he did vs Philly in a loss, Falcons & Seattle comeback.

Very well said. Us Chief fans have seen this for a few years. Good to see national media recognizing it.
Chief fan here. I admit - I doubted my own team, by mid-season thought it wasn’t our year, wrote us off til next year. And hear we are. Shame on me!!! 😮 - lock the door.
Youʻre not alone. So did I. Shame on me.🤦🏻♀️
I do NOT have Mahomes fatigue!!!😂😂😂
What's scary is, the 49ers defense is nowhere near as good as the Super Bowl 54 one but the Chiefs offense is nowhere near as good as SB 54 as well.
I've been a Chiefs fan from a boy and I'm old now. I watch the SB we won in 69 season. This is so sweet to see and live to see it because we sucked for years but the fan base stood with them. We was the spoiler team for our SB never getting to the big dance. I'm loving it as a big fan of football that my team is the one doing this!! Chiefs fans that just got into Chiefs kingdom in the last 10 years or so don't understand this isn't the way it's done.
@RedRoyce Me, too. I was 8 when they won their first SB and remember it like it was yesterday. Then 50 years of futility.
69. Nice
@RedRoyce - I was 9 when they won it in 1970! I remained a Chiefs fan through all of the heartache and am really enjoying myself now.
Absolutely Sir:)
I was 18 months old when the Chiefs won SB IV....and in the next 50 years the Chiefs appeared in only ONE AFC Championship Game (for the youngsters here, the first four Superbowls were prior to the AFL-NFL merger, so there was no such thing as an AFC.....). They made it to the AFC CG one of the years when the Bills went to four straight SBs back in the early '90s, when Joe Montana was the Chiefs' QB. So now to make SIX straight AFC CGs in the Mahomes era is absurd, and I'm just lapping up every single second of it.
They didn’t have to put up any points in the second half, Patrick said they got the lead, and the defense kept it. The defense really took the pressure off Mahomes, all he had to do was, take care of the ball, and let the defense work, they both get paid, sometimes, “the defense” wins games, and those were the adjustments made at halftime, stop them from scoring, take it down by down, protect the ball, and manage the game, to you it looks like Baltimores defense stopped Mahomes, (when they couldn’t do it just 30 minutes ago) and gives them something to hang their hat on, but this was the adjustment at half time, what else did they need to do, but protect the lead, you do that, you win, it was about the Defense, and Patrick Mahomes just happens to be the Star on the team, and their focus. It was a masterclass in mind manipulation.

I normally don’t care about you. I get a little sick of you winning, but there’s no denying you deserve it. As a Lions fan, and an angry one at that, I just ask you one thing. Manhandle them. Don’t give them an ounce of hope. Don’t let them score a point. Show them how useless all their efforts have been. Would you have done the same for the Lions? Sure. But at least then we could consider our loss a gift of mercy.

If the Lions ever get to be great where fansbases start hating them I may lose hope for humanity
@@zack1610Chiefs fan here. I was really pulling for the Lions. So sad to see SF take the win.
Your team sucked for so long so you now deserve a championship? Nobody deserves it, your team has to play well enough to get you there, then you get the bragging rights. I'm glad we're not playing the lions because all you snowflakes would be wanting to charity a championship to the lovable underdog. The niners deserve the shot they earned it. Bringem on! Lions next year? Could be their turn, we'll see.
Pacheco has been Running Angry lately too. He's been the X factor along with rookie WR Rice while Toney has rightly been banished into the Cornfield
Into the cornfield 😂😂😂 goodness.
If/when the Chiefs win this Super Bowl, Mahomes will get all the credit but it is the Chief's defense that earned them the success they've had this year.
Its annoying that people think the offense struggled in the sencond half, andy reid was CLEARLY being ultra conservative. Seemed like every drive was run run screen punt, the goal was try and chew clock, dont make mistakes or turnovers, and let the defense do their thing.
I’ve been a Chiefs fan since they moved to KC when I was a kid. Dad bought season tickets when they played at Municipal Stadium and we paid a guy $2 to park in his yard. He reserved that spot for dad because he brought him a 1/5 of whiskey at the last game of each season. I was at the longest game in NFL history vs Dolphins on Christmas Day. I was at the first game ever at Arrowhead. I have supported the Chiefs in years when you could walk up to the ticket window on game day and buy a ticket and the years when we were oh so close. I’m almost ready for Medicare now and relishing ever moment of the Andy/Mahomes/Kelce era. GO CHIEFS!!!
The ending rant was EPIC!! Go Chiefs!!!
Chiefs had the lead...they were keeping their personnel healthy for the BIG GAME!!!
We are not invincible.
WE ARE INEVITABLE.
Since the start of Kelce & Mahomes playing together they’ve always known that their time with each other would be limited but god knows they have put in 100% every season to make sure that not a single year is wasted! They are best friends who play for each other on another level
Really, really good analysis. We are seeing another dynasty. Just enjoy it!
KC Native and been here my whole life. about 10 years ago we had multiple 2-14 and 4-12 seasons all in a row. Chiefs fans are eating up every moment of the Mahomes era. 31-21 Chiefs over Niners.
Don't overlook that Kelce has the receptions record and is 3 TDs and ~500 yards behind Rice's other two records in NINE, repeat that NINE, fewer games. We should also point out the biggest weakness in Kelce's game is Jump Balls. He's not like Gates, Gonzalez, and Gronk where you loft one up in the endzone and let him go "get a rebound" like those converted basketball players. It's honestly crazy how dominant Kelce has been in the playoffs. Arguably the most dominant postseason stretch by any non-QB in league history.
Truly remarkable. Kelce just ascends to another plane during the postseason.
Don’t forget the Chiefs are doing it with class and dignity. Not video taping opponents or under inflating balls, or racking up multiple personal fouls at the direction of the head coach. No fans throwing ice balls at players or coaches yelling obscenities at fans like Buffalo and Philly. Just line up and play football with a smile on their face and say thanks for the hospitality after ripping your heart out. ❤❤. GO CHIEFS!
Everything you said, but also let’s give Chris Jones as well as the KC Defense it’s due!!
This is a dream situation where we have the spirit of the mid 90s Chiefs defense along with an amazing offense that can get it done !!!
Derek Thomas is smiling from above! ☺️
The "Maauto" reference was cl;assic!
Will be hard to bet against the Reid/Kelce/Mahomes trio. I like the 49ers but I can’t see it happening.
I can!
Clearly a Chiefs fan playing coy. Real 49er fans know we gonna roll. No bogus freak shots to Hill while Bosa is getting held this time
There was a bogus holding call on Trey Smith that should have been a Rashee Rice TD & there was a missed tripping call on Chris Jones in the end zone that would've been a safety. This game should not have been close
Yet all I hear is Ravens fans complaining about the refs lol
@aneesabashir8496 just stop it. You got called for 3 stinking penalties all game.
Three Ravens turnovers and 0 Chiefs points off those turnovers. This really could have been a Chiefs blowout.

I hate the niners but they're tough. So many weapons on offense and really good defense
The Bills and the Ravens were tough too. Supposedly.
The Niners defense is tough, but they don’t seem as tough as they did earlier in the season.
It’s hard to see Purdy coming out on top of Mahomes.
Rich, I hope Brock Purdy and 49ers prove you wrong. Three years ago, 49ers were one missed throw away from defeating Patrick Mahomes in the Super Bowl. That was Jimmy Garoppolo. Now we have Brock Purdy.
Those aren't the same teams, last year kc won by 20 which is closer to this year than 19s team. Kcs defense is way better than ever before and although 49ers offense is better their defense is not dominant this year.
@@scottrowlandrowland1098 - Right.......Packers and Lions were able to move the ball at will on the Niners Defense.

The stories of the men that play this game for a living, how they got there, what they had to overcome to become part of the elite athletes, to become that one percent is why I love football. To see the mastermind's of Andy and Spag's work together, to see the offense and defense both playing their roles...what a great time!! Thank you Chiefs for the journey!! Have a wonderful day everyone.
Mahomes is the best QB ive ever seen.
All it takes is one bad hit…one knee injury/concussion….any given Sunday, nothing is guaranteed and that’s why we play the game.
49ers better bring it, because the chiefs are battle tested and focused. 49ers are riding a high right now and the chiefs are riding pure determination.
Definitely redemption for niners they need to win
Chiefs are the better team. Maybe Purdy can bring some of that good luck that everyone says he has. Hopefully it's competitive and a fun game to watch. I think most people would prefer to see the 9ers win just because they haven't in 30ish years and the Chiefs just won last year
And yet the Chiefs are underdogs vs the Forty Niners.
Who do you trust in the big game? I'm riding with Reid and Mahomes.
@@arnulfoalvarez1743 Yea what absolute insanity is that. How are the 9ers favored?!
Somebody needs to end Kelce's night in the first quarter. You might get a penalty and a fine, but you will also get a ring and a Superbowl check.
That's the Chief's new way in 2nd half. The defense allows 7 or less and the offense has a lead and doesn't make mistake = WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER
Well Rich was right again!
I hope the 49ers can finally put it together. From losing in the SB to knocking on the door of the NFC championship 2 years in a row, it really feels like they're headed for that final crest of the mountaintop. But once again, it's another situation like the Ravens, where top to bottom, the 49ers have the better roster except at QB. If Shanahan can't out-coach Andy Reid, then he'll lose like the Ravens did. He needs to be on his A game because both of the playoff games thus far have looked incredibly shaky. Yes they pulled it out but it wasn't pretty
I wouldn’t say their roster is better top to bottom. I’d take the chiefs D over the 49ers D any day of the week.
@@Tltnsbwuwowsbnot according to numbers.. 49rs have way better defense from top to bottom.

@@HermesMessenger Chiefs are better in Passing Yards, Total Yards, ant Points Per Game than the 9ers. 9ers are better in Rushing Yards. Chiefs have not allowed one 300 yard passing game all season. Chiefs allow the fewest 2nd half points of any team in the NFL.
@@tedduby2346 I feel like if you've watched this games this year, it's pretty easy to say the Chiefs defense is better. I think it will be somewhat of a miracle if the 9ers pull this off.
@@tedduby2346ppg is more of a wash were talking 4 points over 17 game here while the 9ers were 3rd. The offense of the 9ers were 3rd in points scored while the cheifs were 15th. At the end of the day points is what matters.
The cool thing about emotional intelligence is that you know you'll be OK, win or lose. And when you live in that space, you can stop the worry, the anxiety, and fear from interfering with your winning mindset. Winning mindset translates to winning games.
It feels inevitable but when comes to SB's I dont think that anymore after the helmet catch of 2007...
There is no QB who has ever been as fun to watch as Patrick Mahomes. There have been super-smart guys like Brady and Manning, there have been physically gifted guys who couldn't read a defense. Mahomes has the physical magic AND he has the brilliance between the ears. I wonder at people who don't love to watch the guy play this game.
Not that I'm a fan but prime Rodgers was probably better and more exciting to watch than Mahomes, and Josh Allen is more fun to watch. Just my opinion, I have no dog in the fight. Oh, Vick was fun.
Don't put that on my Chiefs. That's how you lose a Superbowl. Niners are probably the first or second best team in the league. I expect a dogfight.
P Mahomes was mad because Kelse made a brilliant play then didn't get credit for it.
Chiefs by a million 🎉
I will never get tired of this.
Gonna be a great SB matchup
Let's just ignore the fact that Brady didn't have a winning coach, a loaded offensive roster with a HOF tight end every year, and didn't play in a pass happy flag football era like Mahomes does now. And still accomplished what he did. Context matters folks.
America got sick of Brady and Belichick real quick. Doesn’t seem that way with Mahomes, except for people who root for rival teams. He’s created at least half of Chiefs Kingdom/ fandom himself (unlike those of us from KC, who were born into the pain of being a Chiefs fan.)
I got a $3000 bet in on the Chiefs +2 right after the Niners game ended. I assumed KC would be favored by 3 or 4 over San Fran, so seeing them actually get points was too good to pass up. I'd be surprised if the Mahomes vs Purdy matchup doesn't influence betting and push the line toward KC being a FG favorite by game day.
I don't know about "inevitable". The 49ers are basically an all-star team.
Chiefs will win
@@Tony-so1zl Don't get cocky.
@@ld4974 😁🤙🏽
Can’t be “GOAT” when the rules have changed. If the game remained as violent as it was before I don’t think any of these players you’ve mentioned will have a long career. They protect quarterbacks and receivers in today’s game that was not there during Rice and Montana era.
They’re playing football yes, but the goal posts how greatness is measured changed.
I think its fair to appreciate the amazing season Travis Kelce is having, on and off the field. The podcast keeps getting bigger. His girlfriend is arguably the biggest entertainer in the world. Sponsorships like he's never seen before. Breaking records nearly every week. Getting to another Superbowl. Just a heck of a year for him.
Patrick Mahomes is pretty much an inevitable type of QB, a generational talent. They’ve taken the most difficult road to the Super Bowl through the best teams in the AFC through the best opponents. I really believe they’ll be fully ready to play ball 🏈 against the 49ers. I also think he’s at a much 💨 faster pace than Brady, four Super Bowl appearances at the age of 28, 14 playoff wins it’s greatness at a high level.
Patrick mahomes is the best quarterback of all time - skill wise and achievements.
Mahomes to Kelce, will go down as one of thee best tandems in history..........
Isiah paecho is the reason this team is going as far as it is. 49ers will not be able to stop it
Andy Reid is known for offense, but I recall that his teams in philly had some decent defenses under his tenure. This Chief's defense is like Khabib in MMA, just working you, choking you, tiring you, frustrating you into giving up. That's what this is really about. Mahomes is basically a game manager who needs to play at an elite level just to appear as a game manager given his lack of skill position support.
I am a Chiefs fan but I do not want to get cocky. But our defense forced Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson into awful red zone throws that ended their seasons. Not sure Brock Purdy can fare better.
If it was properly called why are there multiple offensive plays with the same alignment not called before it and after?
Niners will not be that easy. You have to put more then 17 pts up on them and Kc knows that im sure.
How many can the 9ers score is the real question. Judging by the playoffs, it won't be much. The Chiefs defense is stingy.
Don't underestimate the 9ers, this isn't 2019 lol. This SB is giving me 07 Giants Patriots vibes.
Maauto was on fire 🔥
Patty Mahomes is really like that. If he wins this one, some uncomfortable conversations are going to start being had
Travis understands that if you catch balls for a living, you need to catch the ball. That concept has escaped the bulk of KC's WR core. (Rashee Rice excluded)
it will be a straight up miracle if the 49ers win. Just like it would've been if the Lions won the super bowl.
Get ready for a miracle then.
@@cameronzwicke5761 I really am hoping for one
Betting against purdy is crazy the man is on his first full season and it's funny how when he wins it won't even be about him it will be everyone saying his defence did the work while he scores 30 points again and also mahomes is gonna have to score 30 points to beat the 49era and their offence is being saved by amazing defence right now it has nothing to do with mahomes ATM it's his defence winning games
I've felt from the start that this SB will be similar to the 07 Giants Patriots
Literally laughed out loud alone in my kitchen at “Yoko Swift”
The whole "catching Brady" talking point is dead. Mahomes is the GOAT. You can see it with your eyes, or with the stats. Mahomes could retire after this Super Bowl, and not need to play 20+ years to compile stats to "Catch Brady". It's a ridiculous conversation at this point.
