Happy Monday! If such a thing can exist. Super Bowl 58 came and went, with the Chiefs winning their 3rd championship in 5 years. Today, we look at some insane stats and information as we bid farewell to the ‘23-’24 NFL season.

Some stats that don’t sound real but are:

• Patrick Mahomes has now won more playoff games (15) than Peyton Manning’s entire career (14)

• No team has lost to Kirk Cousins and won the Super Bowl the same year. Niners lost to the Vikings 17-22 in week 7.

• Kyle Shanahan has had 3 double digit leads in 3 Super Bowls (one as OC with the Falcons, two as HC with the Niners). He has lost all 3 and been outscored 68-12 in the 4th quarter and OT.

• There have been 7 double digit comebacks in Super Bowl history. Patrick Mahomes has 3 of them.

• The Chiefs are the first team ever to trail 4 separate times in a Super Bowl and win.

• Christian McCaffrey is the first player to ever to have 75+ yards rushing and 75+ yards receiving in a Super Bowl.

• Jauan Jennings is the first WR ever to both throw and catch a TD pass in a postseason game.

• Touchdowns scored on the Chiefs this postseason: Dolphins, Ravens, and 49ers - 4. Josh Allen - 3. The Chiefs won every game.

• The Cowboys won 3 Super Bowls in 5 years between ‘93-’97. They haven’t been to a conference championship game since. (This ones for Raiders fans and Eagles fans)

• The Chiefs faced the hardest postseason road to a title ever based on regular season DVOA of their opponents

  

• The Chiefs faced Nos. 2, 3, 4, and 6 offenses in the playoffs, which combined to average 28.3 PPG this season. Those offenses averaged 15.8 vs KC in the playoffs. Thats a 12.5 point differential against 4 of the best offenses in the NFL.

• Mahomes vs Brady in their first 7 seasons

  

• There have been 4 teams since 2000 favored in all 17 regular season games and to win the Super Bowl entering the playoffs - ‘01-’02 Rams, ‘07-’08 Patriots, ‘17-’18 Patriots, and now the ‘23-’24 Niners. Those teams all lost the Super Bowl.

• Mahomes was an underdog in 3 straight games going into the Super Bowl for the first time in his career. He is now 4-0 all time as an underdog.

• The last 4 Chiefs to score a touchdowns in the Super Bowl are: Kadarius Toney, Skyy Moore, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Mecole Hardman.

• Rashee Rice set a rookie record for most catches in a postseason with 26.

• Only two Super Bowls have ever gone into OT. Kyle Shanahan was a coach for both losing teams (Falcons OC in ‘16-’17).

• Jake Moody set the record for longest made FG in Super Bowl history with a 55 yarder in the 2nd quarter. The record stood for 24:47 of elapsed game time, when Harrison Butker nailed a 57 yarder with 5:01 left in the 3rd quarter. Moody did walk away with another record when he hit a a 53 yarder in the 4th, becoming the only kicker to hit multiple 50+ yarders in a Super Bowl.

• Going into this game, all kickers in NFL history have combined to convert 46% of all Super Bowl field goal attempts of 50 yards or more. Moody and Butker went 3 for 3.

• With back to back championships, the Chiefs are one of 7 teams to win two in a row, joining the Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, Pittsburgh Steelers (twice), San Francisco 49ers, Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, and New England Patriots. They also now have a chance to do something never done in NFL history: win 3 straight Super Bowls.
