Welcome to the Monday edition of the Pick Six newsletter, especially to Chiefs fans, who probably haven’t slept for a single minute since last night.
If that’s the case, then you have something in common with me. My total sleep since last night was maybe eight minutes, but who cares, because it was all worth it. Last night’s game was one of the most exciting Super Bowls ever and although Eagles fans will likely forever remember it as the game that the referees stole, Chiefs fans will likely look back on the 38-35 win as the unofficial start of Kansas City’s dynasty.

Even though Patrick Mahomes spent the second half playing on a gimpy ankle, the Eagles still couldn’t get to him. Thanks to the play of the offensive line, Mahomes totaled 226 yards and three touchdowns. The Chiefs also rushed for 158 yards with 119 of that coming in the second half. The Chiefs averaged more than 6 yards per carry in the game thanks largely to Mahomes (44 yards on six rushes) and Isiah Pacheco (76 yards on 15 carries)
