Well, that was something. The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions for the second time under Patrick Mahomes following one of the gutsiest second half performances that I have ever seen. He clenched both his second title, as well as his second Super Bowl MVP award. He wasn’t alone, either, as the game featured a bunch of incredible performances all around, from the two star quarterbacks to Rihanna and the halftime show. Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles tore it up too, and nothing should tarnish what could go down as one of the greatest Super Bowls of all time... but there was at least one positional group that is not getting rave reviews from the public.

Sucks to have refs make game changing calls with no review doesn’t it
— Bethany Balcer (@bethanybalcer) February 13, 2023
It obviously sucks worst for Eagles fans, but the refs also stole a chance for a clean win from the Chiefs. Asterisk on that game.

At least Rihanna crushed it for the halftime show, and everybody can agree about that.
Rihanna is the real MVP and winner of the Superbowl.

I should not be surprised there’s halftime show shit talking but here we are. Are you people fucking kidding me? GTFO with your bullshit body commentary, she (you know, the singer) SOUNDED and looked amazing, and didn’t need any cameo because Queen stands on her own.

All that aside, it really was an incredible game, and Patrick Mahomes is uniquely incredible. Jalen Hurts put on a fantastic show, as well, as the two quarterbacks led their teams to what was nearly the highest scoring Super Bowl of all time. Andy Reid deserves some credit, too, for doing his part in not messing up having the best passer in the NFL on the Kansas City roster.
Patrick Mahomes completed 13 of 14 passes for 93 yards & 2 TD after suffering an ankle injury in the 2nd quarter, averaging +0.65 EPA per dropback (+18.5% CPOE).

Jalen Hurts is the first QB with 3 rushing TDs in a single Super Bowl.

I know "Jalen Hurts deadlifted a zillion pounds as a child" is one of the most overdone storylines but uh that's why

Mahomes’ scramble for 26 on no ankles on the final drive is THE play for me
— Offseason Looking Forward To-er (@JacsonBevens) February 13, 2023
Through 5 seasons as a starter, Patrick Mahomes now has:
— Field Yates (@FieldYates) February 13, 2023
▫️ 2 Super Bowl wins
▫️ 2 Super Bowl MVP awards
▫️ 2 NFL MVP awards
▫️ 3 Super Bowl appearances, 5 AFC Championship games
▫️5 Pro Bowls, 3 All Pros
▫️NFL Offensive Player of the Year
▫️12+ wins in every season
Unreal.
At absolute worst. His offensive play calling spawned a monumental shift in how defenses play and he won another Super Bowl again anyways against a damn good Eagles team that did nearly everything right. Legend. https://t.co/A30WPP25fA

Carlos Dunlap, who made a brief but impactful stint with the Seahawks, got his ring, and Quandre Diggs (among others) was quick to congratulate.
Shoutout to my dawg @Carlos_Dunlap finally getting him a ring after a helluva career so far!! 100 sacks and SB ring to go with it!
— Nino (@qdiggs6) February 13, 2023
Really happy for @Carlos_Dunlap. All those years without a playoff win, and he now wins it all. Was also a great #Seahawks player to interview. Congrats, sir.
