Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu had an awful game in defense. He gave away two penalties in the first half itself. On top of that, the ‘Honey Badger’ got into a nasty spat with Super Bowl LV MVP Tom Brady. Mess with fire, you get burnt but mess with Tom Brady and….well, you know how it finished.

2018 NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes started the game on a positive note. There were reports that he was playing with a serious toe injury and will undergo surgery on the same in the offseason. Well, after Sunday’s game, he might have to undergo a few more procedures in order to get back to peak fitness.

The Chiefs defense endured a horrid outing in Super Bowl LV. Never have they been dominated in such a fashion by an NFL team over the last two years. HC Andy Reid will be disappointed in what he saw tonight.
