The San Francisco 49ers came close to winning the Super Bowl only to let Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs steal the show and the Vince Lombardi Trophy — again. One can only imagine the pain 49ers players are feeling after another failure on the grandest football stage, as they lost to Kansas City, 25-22. The loss could be more painful for the players who just had experienced their second Super Bowl loss at the hands of the same opponent, like Niners star edge rusher Nick Bosa. “I feel like it was hard for anybody to say much after…

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan still couldn’t shake off his Super Bowl struggles. If people thought that his third appearance as a coach at a Super Bowl game would be the charm, then that simply did not turn out to be the case Sunday night, as the Niners lost to Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Las Vegas, 25-22. The San Francisco 49ers had a seven-point lead at halftime and a three-point advantage at the start of the fourth quarter., But they faltered when it mattered the most, as the Chiefs were able to beat them…
Football is still a team game and will forever be one, but there is no denying that the Kansas City Chiefs wouldn’t have won three Super Bowls over the past several years without the brilliance of quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The future Hall of Famer put on another show on the biggest game of them all when he led the Chiefs to a 25-22 come-from-behind victory over the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl 58. Patrick Mahomes Put The Kansas City Chiefs On His Back In Overtime vs. 49ers Mahomes was electric once again for the Chiefs, particularly in the clutch.…
Just when it looked as though the Las Vegas Raiders would have Kliff Kingsbury as their new offensive coordinator, the former Arizona Cardinals head coach withdrew his name from the job consideration. Now we know why Kingsbury opted to back away, per Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. In simple terms, Las Vegas’s unwillingness to go to a third year on Kliff Kingsbury’s contract opened the door for other teams to swoop in—which the Commanders did right away, agreeing to terms with the former Cardinals and Texas Tech head coach Sunday. Kliff Kingsbury’s Deal With Las Vegas Raiders Did Not Come…
In making a case for why the Pittsburgh Steelers are an ideal destination for veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins, Pro Football Focus’ Brad Spielberger indicated that Kenny Pickett just doesn’t look like a fit for the style of new offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. Cousins is obviously an upgrade over Kenny Pickett. There’s no denying that. But the other main reason Spielberger argued the Steelers as a landing spot for Cousins was he doesn’t view Pickett as a fit for Smith’s offense. “Arthur Smith can change, I’m not saying he can’t,” Spielberger said. “But what he does historically, and what Kenny Pickett…
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been struck with mediocrity over the past several years. While they aren’t in an embarrassingly long playoff drought, it has been a while since the Steelers last won a playoff game. Kirk Cousins to the Pittsburgh Steelers? If the Pittsburgh Steelers want to turn things around and find success in the playoffs at last, Pro Football Focus’ Brad Spielberger brought up the idea of Pittsburgh going after Kirk Cousins, who could be a free agent soon (h/t Heavy). “Ryan Tannehill is the easier connection because of the Tennessee days with [him and Arthur Smith],” Spielberger said.…
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has a golden opportunity to add to his Super Bowl ring collection this coming Sunday. With the Chiefs battling Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers at Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas, Mahomes will have a shot not just at adding to his two rings but also at increasing his chances of catching former NFL star QB Tom Brady in terms of NFL titles count. Shannon Sharpe Speaks up on Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ GOAT chances But for Shannon Sharpe, Mahomes doesn’t have to match or surpass Brady’s Super Bowl rings…
Running back Alvin Kamara can easily make any team better. But it’s one thing for a general manager to imagine him suiting up for his team and it’s completely another to find a way to acquire Kamara without getting painfully bit in the pocket. The New Orleans Saints star tailback, who signed a five-year contract extension with the team worth $75 million back in 2020, carries a cap hit of nearly $19 million in 2024 and over $10 million in 2025. What’s The Right Alvin Kamara Move For the New Orleans Saints? Even projecting the best window to trade Alvin…
The New England Patriots have the third pick overall in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft. About that pick, many people believe that it’s more of a matter of which quarterback the Patriots will select and less about whether they’d use that pick or not on a signal-caller. When asked to give a confidence level rating on the chances of the Patriots getting a quarterback via a trade or free agency, ESPN’s Mike Reiss said that it’s almost a slam dunk. My early hunch is the Patriots will have conviction on two of the top quarterbacks in this draft. So, 75%…
The Denver Broncos pushed their chips to the center of the table for quarterback Russell Wilson, but that gamble hasn’t paid off. It’s even performed so frustratingly badly that Wilson’s name has been appearing in rumors. Even the Atlanta Falcons are getting a mention as a potential suitor of the Super Bowl-winning quarterback should the Broncos move on from the former Wisconsin Badgers signal-caller. ESPN analyst Mel Kiper, in his 2024 mock draft piece, tossed in the name of Wilson as a possible target for the Falcons since Atlanta is likely to miss out on the top quarterbacks in the…
