Patrick Mahomes wins 3rd Super Bowl, Brock Purdy showed he is good, not special | NFL | THE HERD

Patrick Mahomes picked up his third Super Bowl win in five seasons (and his entire career) as the Kansas City Chiefs came back from a 10-point deficit to defeat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in OT. Colin Cowherd warns the rest of the league on why they should be discouraged: this season is the year to beat a "lesser" Chiefs team. Brock Purdy finished with 255 yards, a touchdown and an 89.3 passer rating in the 49ers loss. Colin explains why the Super Bowl loss proved Purdy is good but not "special."

I am a Ravens fan, but I have to acknowledge greatness. What is incredible about Mahomes' run this season: The Chiefs did not have a 1000 yard receiver/tight end. The Chiefs did not have a 1000 yard running back. The Chiefs' offensive line lead the league in penalties. The right tackle, Jaawan James, led the league in penalties. The Chiefs' wide receivers led the league in drops. The Chiefs went 5-5 in their last ten regular season games. Mahomes beat the number 1 and 2 seeds on the road to get to the Super Bowl. Mahomes beat the NFC's 1 seed in the Super Bowl. The Bills, Ravens, and 49ers were all ranked in the top 10 in defense and offense this year. Mahomes faced 4 players who finished top 5 in the MVP voting, including the winner. Mahomes became the first player to in NFL history to have 3 double digits deficits in the Super Bowl and win. He threw a game winning touchdown in overtime to win; Brady is the only other player in league history to do that. Mahomes won his 3rd Super Bowl MVP by the age of 28 becoming the first to do that. Mahomes is now 15-3 in the playoffs after 6 years, only trailing Montana and Brady in playoff wins. Mahomes is now 1 in playoff history in Td's, winning percentage, and total yards per game; 8-2 win trailing by 7 or more in the playoffs. He isn't the Goat yet, but he is doing crazy stuff.

The main point should be that the 9ers got their weaknesses exposed in this game. And I don't care how many lead changes he was able to get. He didn't have the lead in the end. If he was so dominant in his play then they should have been up by at least two, maybe even three possessions at the half. The real deal is that he was good but not great. The oline was good early and then fell off the cliff in the fourth quarter and overtime. The defense wasn't communicating all that well at the end and had several blown assignments, and boss started giving up his pass rush lane on several plays at the end. You and everyone else is looking for where the blame lies. It's takes a full team effort, and a little luck thrown in to win the big games. 9ers didn't maintain the effort and the luck was the blocked extra point, so bad luck. That's the difference in this game.

In season hindsight, the mid-year blip in the Chiefs' performance was the forging of this win. For far too long, KC had to use the long ball to win games; with the passing game disappearing because clowns could not catch the ball, the team got to find a running attack that they could use as needed to take pressure off of Patrick. And when Patrick was needed, the players were able to catch the ball. And it is so great that the player discarded, Mecole, was brought back after the Jets had no clue what they had in him. Management in KC is amazing at being able to add pieces to the puzzle and the game winner was the piece added taking another teams' trash and turning it into a Snoopy Bowl diamond. The 49ers had their chances. They blew it. KC had players that were battle tested and pieces were forged to handle just about anything that was needed. And the two top forces of coaching were the most adaptable in changing the mojo of KC - Reid and Spags. No other team makes so many half time adjustments or getting their guys to refocus. Hats off to KC. I hope the 49ers learn that being good for part of the game is not enough. You have to be great to win when it counts.

[@jamalstrickland1]

It took a freak injury from a key player, a CMC fumble, Trent Williams’ worst game (arguably ever), Kittle and Deebo getting hurt/ not showing up, a muffed punt, and a missed PAT for Purdy to lose that game in OVERTIME.

Get a grip folks... Mahomes has 13 interceptions his first full year at quarterback and 17 his second year. He's started 96 NFL games compared to 23 for Brock Purdy. Does anyone think that playing 73 additional professional football games might have helped Mahomes develop his craft? I think it is too early to write off Brock Purdy. He may not be the second coming of Joe Montana but he's got something going for him. I expect the 49ers to stick with their QB1.

[@paulkaehn6203]

no one is writing off Brock Purdy, lol

Mahomes had 12 INT'S in his first year in the Regular Season as a starter & 5 INT'S in his second year. He's also played a total of 114 games (Regular & Post Season). He's 89-25.

To me, it was never in question. Once I saw the 9ers go up 10-0, I knew it was going to be a repeat of history. Give mahomes time at the end, and he will lead his team to victory. He reminded us he’s not in the same tier as any of the the other QBs. He’s better.

But to his point if mahomes had the weapons San Fran has it would of been a run away victory. Mahomes has 1 true weapon in kelce, rashee rice is just ok and a rookie.

The pitch to Pacheco was bad - he threw a pick right after that.
