CB Bashaud Breeland

Three Chiefs players fought through injury to finish the game against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV. One of those players, Bashaud Breeland, fought through a strained calf and an ankle sprain in order to do so. Merely fighting through injury is nothing, Breeland did so while missing just three defensive snaps and he had himself a game.

Breeland was playing fast and physical football from the first whistle, driving on receiver screens and passes thrown behind the sticks. He had an interception in the second quarter on a ball thrown under serious pressure. He would go on to finish the game with six tackles, two tackles for loss, one pass defended and one interception.

Throughout the season, the Chiefs’ secondary seemed like a big question mark. After the Super Bowl, they have become an exclamation point on a tremendous season.
