That KC offence offered decent protection, a not peak Kelce, and nothing else. Average running back, below average receivers who can't get separation and can't friggen catch. Except for one throw, Mahomes took what he could, battled his way through the game, and then picked the tired Niners apart. Throw in a couple of key runs at key times, and it was as Brady as you can get. This wasn't no-look, side-arm, trick play Mahomes, this was "do what you have to in order to win" Mahomes.
That KC defence is a hell of a unit though. Jones is elite. They have very very good corners, and the whole unit is fucking fast. And they work so well as a team.

some massive plays knocking the ball away from WR. Really impressive.

The onside kick idea is actually pretty great. I love that.
I'm not sure the decision at the coin toss was that important. It's an interesting debate. On the one hand if you are second you know what you need (and thus Mahomes was always in four down territory) but that can bring added pressure too - the whole game literally hinged on that KC 4th and 1.

Broncos cut Wilson. $84m against the cap, split over the next two years. 35 one year and 50 the other - hits can come in either order depending on exactly how they do the cut.
The contract has 'offset language'. That means that whatever money he is paid by his new team will reduce what the Broncos owe him. In practice, this means his next deal will be a vet minimum deal because the money will be going to the Broncos not him. That makes him a super low risk prospect for a team that wants to take a punt. (Although there are also ways to structure a deal to get around the offset language but depends on the length of the contract, so will depend on how much teams want him and trust him to stay good).

@KiwiMurph the cap hit in dead money is the biggest in history. Bigger than the old No1 and No2 combined.
Epic.
Any Bronco fans here?

Fuck your face

And it is free agency season
Some big moves
Kirk Cousins to the Falcons. Vikings signed DarnoldKing Henry to the Ravens is interesting. Their running back plays QB
The Commanders just gave Marcus Mariota $6m for a year??
Jimmy G got released
Barkley to the Eagles
Some of the QB names linked to the Broncos are gross

I'm not triggering you mate, but who is that? Haven't had my eye on it.
Wilson to the Steelers seems solid for both of them. Good luck - will see what they can get out of him

We were interested in Darnold, but thankfully his price went too high. Zach Wilson has been mentioned
Thankfully Jameis Winston has already gone to the Browns
The way the team is at the moment is completely fucked. Getting a proven failure in for a couple of years seems a waste of time. The rebuild is not only behind, but hamstrung by the Russell fucking Wilson deals. Burn the joint to the ground and start from the very bottom. With Mahomes and the Chiefs in our division (and the possibility of the Chargers making use of their gun QB) we're playing for 2nd for a while yet anyway. It is purgatory!

I read that Mort (Chris Mortensen) died earlier in the month. One of the main NFL reporters on ESPN when I used to watch more often.

Not just the manager though. He keeps taking short term deals with front loaded guarantees from desparate owners.
And the QB market economics are broken.
