#1 This Sunday the winningest quarterback in the NFL takes the field again in another appearance this time for Super Bowl LVII (57) Patrick Mahomes has led the Chiefs to the AFC Championship each season since 2018 and to the Super Bowl three times he’s built quite a resume.

#2 Lots of credit has gone to Chiefs head coach Andy Reid who had led the Chiefs to three Super Bowls and coached his way out of tragedy when his son Britt hit into two stopped cars on Feb 4, 2021 seriously injuring a 5 year old girl Ariel Miller. Britt was sentenced to three years in prison for DUI manslaughter. Coach Reid had to overcome Britt’s tragic mistake and has taken his team to multiple Super Bowls.

#3 Talking about the Chiefs general manager Brett Veach he has had the ability to assemble some great talent over the years and inspite of dealing former wide receiver standout Tyrek Hill to the Miami Dolphins Veach has had success with the wide receivers he’s got has six wide outs to choose from.

#4 The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had to work hard to get where he’s at. Hurts led the Eagles in post season victories over some tough customers in the NFC Division round Hurts and the offense pummeled the New York Giants 38-7 and rocked the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship 31-7. Rich talk about how you see the successes of the Eagles not only this season but in the post season.

#5 Hurts in 15 games in 2022-23 has thrown for 3701 yards, averaging eight yards a throw, 22 touchdowns, and has thrown six interceptions. Hurts has worked hard to get to this point.

On the Super Bowl LVII podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Tony, things now get started in Arizona where Super Bowl LVII will be hosted at State Farm Stadium on Sun Feb 12, 2023. Lets start with the Kansas City Chiefs it was a come back game of sorts for them in the AFC Championship getting a game winning field goal to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20.

#2 Patrick Mahomes under center in Sunday’s AFC Championship game threw for 326 yards, 29-43 and two touchdowns, he might not had the traditional Mahomes performance but it was good enough to get the Chiefs to the Super Bowl.

#3 The Cincinnati Bengals Joe Burrow threw good enough to win but the Bengals chose to throw with under six minutes left in the game and the score tied at the Kanas City 16 yard line but Burrow threw for an interception rather than keep the ball on the ground and lost after turning the ball over to the Chiefs who later kicked for a game winning field goal.

#4 For the Philadelphia Eagles and quarterback Jalen Hurts they handled the San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field with lots of offense in a 31-7 ground game affair with Hurts throwing 15-25 for 121 yards and no touchdowns. What was surprising was that Hurts threw no touchdowns but landslided the San Francisco defense all afternoon.

#5 Tony this will be a Super Bowl that will have all the characters of the Chiefs and the Eagles talking big game issues on media days for the next two weeks.

On San Francisco 49ers podcast with David Zizmor:

#1 After the first seven minutes of the game it was over. In the first two minutes San Francisco 49ers Brock Purdy got the elbow injury and the offense for the rest of game was three and out.

#2 With 49ers back up quarterback Josh Johnson there is a reason why he’s been with multiple teams he fumbled and he couldn’t get the 49ers down field and the Philadelphia Eagles defense were daring Johnson to throw the ball.

#3 Looking back on the season the 49ers before Sunday’s NFC Championship loss to the Eagles, the miracle of Purdy getting the 49ers here after 12 straight wins and ten straight wins under Purdy no one would have expected Purdy to get this far.

San Francisco 49ers podcast with Joe Hawkes: How Purdy and Prescott match up in today’s Divisional game

On the 49ers podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 Joe, one thing you could say about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy he’s keeping his mistake ratio down a 1.6% turnover rate the best mark for a quarterback in 2022 and Purdy didn’t even play the entire season.

#2 Purdy is noted for not having big plays and having a throw rate but with the supporting cast around him it’s no problem and Purdy is getting the job done and making the throws when he has to.

#3 Joe, when you compare Jimmy Garoppolo to Purdy, Garoppolo didn’t protect the ball as much as Purdy so analysts are saying there is no reason why Purdy can’t take this team to the Superbowl.

#4 Purdy’s turnover rate since week 13 through 15th out of 30 quarterbacks not bad for a first year under center and called in in an emergency back on Dec 4th. In Purdy’s last four games his turnover rate had dropped 1.6% which is the best rate in the NFL.

#5 Joe, talk about what the Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott in his last game he handled the Tampa Bay Buccaneers throwing 25-33 for 305 yards with four touchdowns. How do you see the Cowboys and Prescott matching up against the 49ers this afternoon.
