Recapping Chiefs’ wild Super Bowl win, plus why 49ers made wrong OT decision and 14 crazy Super Bowl stats

Welcome to the Monday edition of the Pick Six newsletter, and I’d like to extend a special welcome to Chiefs fans, who probably haven’t slept for a single minute since last night.

If that’s the case, then they 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. For just the second time in NFL history, the game went to overtime where the Chiefs topped the 49ers 25-22. 

As you can imagine, we have a lot to cover today, and 95% of it is Super Bowl related. We’ll be taking a look at almost every aspect of the game, so let’s get to the rundown.

Here’s a look at some of the keys from the game that we touched on during the podcast (If you’re a 49ers fan, I understand if you don’t want to listen. I feel your pain): 

• Kyle Shanahan makes interesting decision to start overtime. After the 49ers won the toss in overtime, they decided to take the ball first, which doesn’t necessarily make sense under the new OT format where both teams are guaranteed at least ONE possession. We dissected why we thought Shanahan made the wrong decision (We’ll also be covering this decision later on in the newsletter). 
• Travis Kelce took over in the second half. At one point in the first half, Kelce absolutely blew up on Andy Reid (You can see it here). Kelce was definitely frustrated after catching just one pass for 1 yard in the first half. At halftime, Reid and Kelce clearly got on the same page because the Chiefs tight end was one of the stars of the second half for Kansas City, catching eight passes for 92 yards. 
• Kickers took over the Super Bowl. Harrison Butker played so well that he had a legit case for MVP in the fourth quarter. Not only did the Chiefs kicker hit all four…
