It’s been the Kansas City Chiefs all along.
Through an offseason of uncertainty — which included Tom Brady’s shocking decision to leave the Patriots dynasty for Tampa Bay — and a season played while the coronavirus sidelined players, re-shaped schedules and even displaced one team, there was one thing we kept coming back to on The Counter, our NFL podcast:
The defending Super Bowl champion Chiefs remained waaaayyyy out in front of the rest of the league.
They’ll have a chance to prove it one final time Sunday night, in Tampa Bay, against Brady and the Buccaneers in Super Bowl 55.
The Counter’s hosts — Steven Ruiz, Charles McDonald and Chris Korman — got together for this special video episode to discuss how the game will unfold and whether Patrick Mahomes and his teammates will end up becoming the first back-to-back champion since the Patriots did it in 2003-04.
We broke down the matchup in-depth with special guests Namita Nandakumar, a former quantitive analyst with the Philadelphia Eagles, and Keegan Abdoo, an analyst at Next Gen Stats, on the latest full-length episode of the podcast, as well.
