Brady will revert to a 10 year, $375 million (USD) deal he signed with Fox Sports to be their lead NFL analyst.

He wins again

Who you got?

I’m an Eagles fan, so no surprise who I’m going for.

31-26

@ACT-Crusader i think the Eagles as they have the better D

Kinda want Mahomes to get a 2nd ring though

mariner4life

and the first drive is a stroll to an opening TD for the Eagles

Eagles look efficient. Mahomes will have to play a blinder to get up ... Hurts looks very slick

Kelce is a monster. What a player.

mariner4life

well, if this keeps up it will be a bit of fun

MajorPom

This is going to be ridiculous.

Both teams make offense look incredibly easy.

Halftime.

Moink balls. They evaporated quickly!

KiwiMurph

That halftime show was horrendous.

massive drive by the Chiefs. Very impressive - they're finding a way to hang in there against a side that looks better.

Windows97

Seems neither side got the memo that defense wins championships.

And ironically after all this offense it appears the team that can get the first defensive stop will win the game.

KiwiMurph

Great game with an anti climax for a finish.

Pleased Kansas won though.

Philly are a good team but their playoff run has been very fortuitous so don't feel too bad about that late ticky tack flag.

mariner4life

first reaction was that was a soft flag. But there was enough of a grab that if it was the first quarter no one would have blinked.

So professional by the Chiefs at the end.

Great Superbowl

A fun SB to watch as it was always going to be a high-scoring game.

Really good fun.

The grab was clear - but the first one that the comms team missed a good handful of jersy and clear tug. Flag all day ... if they go down the rugby route of swallowing whistles it'd suck.

Fun game to watch. Chiefs remarkable in picking up offensively - it looked like college ball at times out there; good defenses getting shredded. The hit on the KC back Pacheco was monstrous. Good afternoon, a few beers and very solid entertainment.

Chiefs are such a good position with Mahomes contract too. Still got another 8 years to run and cap hits stay around 40m each year. That's a ton but with the cap going up so quickly, it's possible that in another year or two he isn't even in the top 10 highest paid QBs in the league.

Meanwhile the Eagles have one year left on Hurts rookie deal. His cap hit next year will be 4m but after that he'll presumably be looking at a mega deal (unless we see a major regression) and they'll have to make sacrifices elsewhere. Since he wasn't a first round pick they won't even get a fifth year option. They'll probably want to do a deal this off-season so will be interesting to see how that goes.

soooo much anti-ref salt online

i think mainly because the Chiefs won.

"let them play" seems to only mean the defenders, not the obviously impeded receiver trying to make a 3rd and 8 to keep the game going.

and where were they last weekn with the out of bounds hit? Both calls correct - not hard calls, but the right ones.
