Everyone is saying Brady great and Mahones not so great. The real story is the OL. It's exciting that we hired one of the best OL in college football and we don't have Herb Hand anymore.
Loser: The Chiefs’ Replacement Offensive Line
There’s one simple stat that defines Super Bowl LV. Tom Brady was pressured four times on 30 dropbacks, according to ESPN Stats and Info, while Patrick Mahomes was pressured 29 times on 56 dropbacks. Brady spent all night throwing out of a clean pocket; Mahomes spent all night scrambling for his life. Part of this is because the Buccaneers have a better pass rush than the Chiefs, and part is that the Buccaneers offense prioritized quick throws, while the Chiefs waited for receivers to get open downfield. But the main reason is obvious: Kansas City’s backup offensive linemen couldn’t block.
