The key to defending Patrick Mahomes is keeping him in the pocket and hitting him all game

You have to be coordinated. You have to do your absolute best... everything in your power and energy, every fiber in your body to keep [Mahomes] in the pocket. If he keeps plays alive, that's where he is magical. He does all the crazy shit. Throws the left-handed and he just finds people. But if you keep 'em in the pocket, that's your best bet. And I'm not saying it's a hundred percent's gonna stop him, but that's your best chance... you have to hit him all game and make him uncomfortable.

Mahomes was pressured frequently in the Super Bowl and kept largely in the pocket until the final drive where his scrambling ultimately won the game.

The Chiefs defense is better than people realize and Steve Spagnuolo will put on a masterclass in the Super Bowl

I think the Chiefs defense is better than people realize. And I think Spags [Steve Spagnuolo] is going to put on a masterclass... Mahomes is Mahomes. And there's just so many things that I just keep going back to like the Chiefs. They've just been there, done that. They know how to win these games.

The Chiefs defense held the high-powered 49ers to 19 points in regulation and 22 total in an OT win. Spagnuolo was widely praised for his game plan.

Kyle Shanahan might not be a 'clutch' coach

I was like, can a coach be clutch? You don't normally hear about coaches being clutch. Maybe Kyle Shanahan's just not clutch.

Shanahan lost another Super Bowl after leading in the fourth quarter and overtime, further fueling this specific narrative.

There will be no doinked field goals or extra points in Super Bowl 58

No fucking doinks. Oh no doinks. We're running it back. I got doinked big time last year and I just realized I'm talking about Moody and even his makes are close to being misses. And also last year it was Butker. But he's a good kicker. There's no chance he double doinks. No chance. So what I'm doing is I'm going to have my vengeance on the doink from last year. And I'm going to double my bet this year and go, no doinks.

There were no doinks in Super Bowl 58.

Many quarterbacks in the NFL are 'bitches' who cry to the refs when hit

[Patrick Mahomes] is not a bitch. He's gonna keep coming back. He's gonna keep playing... [Big Cat: What quarterback is a bitch?] I won't name any names, but there's more than one. There's a lot of them that cry. Yeah. It is what it is.
