Howdy? I'm Ben Solac. This is the Playsheet live from Radio Row. This is our third of three episodes that we're doing to preview the Super Bowl.

The first was like matchup schemes that'll matter right. The X's the nose of the game. You can watch that here.

You can also watch our Anatomy of a Contender for the San Francisco 49ers. We did that one yesterday. It's also here.

Today we're doing Anatomy of a Contender for the San Francisco 49ers. We did that one yesterday. It's also here. Today we're doing anatomy of a contender for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Okay, so how did the Chiefs make into the Super Bowl? Reason number one, Patrick Mahomes,

negative plays that he's erased. The stuff that should have happened that was terrible that he's

been able to save the team from. This has been especially true in the postseason for Mahomes.

Last year's playoff, he took a sack on 2.9% of his dropbacks. That is an astronomically low number. He also hasn't thrown an
