Looks like my analysis was pretty spot on
In the end, it did come down to quarterback and coaching - Mahomes made the plays he needed to at the end (that was a brilliant play call by Andy Reid for the winning touchdown) and Shanahan again outsmarted himself in a Super Bowl.
Kansas City looked like a wreck often in the season and still came out on top - when you have Patrick Mahomes you can get away with that. The defense put it together at the right time with timely stops to give the offense a chance to win.
6 years as starter, 6 AFC Championship Games, 4 Super Bowl appearances (4 in 5 years), 3 Super Bowl wins, 3 Super Bowl MVPs, 2 NFL MVP awards, 2 straight Super Bowl Wins/Super Bowl MVP awards is simply remarkable performance.
Purdy did great - although the performance went downhill after Kansas City made the defensive adjustments and Shanahan predictably didn't adjust.
