The Super Bowl

The latest newsletter from the sports data scientist at KCSN, Joseph Hefner

The Kansas City Chiefs are your Super Bowl Champions. It was an absolutely thrilling game. Our Chiefs came back from yet another 10 point deficit. Patrick Mahomes had a scramble worthy of the 2019 scramble vs the Titans. Perhaps less flashy, but far more gutsy on that ankle. Rookies stepped up and made some big plays. And Patrick Mahomes did ungodly things to the #1 defense in football this year.

Let’s start with the rookies. The rookies had a bit of an up and down game. McDuffie got beat on an AJ Brown touchdown early in the game. He also had 5 tackles and a forced fumble that Bolton returned for a touchdown, as well as a second forced fumble that was ruled incomplete. Leo Chenal, who maybe boards a bus a little different than the rest of us, had 6 tackles and a sack.
