Welcome to the Monday edition of the Pick Six newsletter, especially to 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 fans will likely forever remember Ondrej Kase Men Jersey 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.As you can imagine, we have a lot to cover today and 80% of it is related, and yes, we'll even be talking about that controversial finish because how could we not talk about it. We'll also be taking a look at almost every aspect of the game, so let's get to the rundown.As always, please tell everyone you know to sign up for the newsletter. To get them signed up, all you have to do is with them. For the first time all season, I was not part of the Sunday night recap, but that's only because I was at the game and if I had shown up on the podcast, no one would have been able to hear anything because it was a total chaos at State Farm Stadium in the aftermath of Kansas City's 38-35 win. With me on the sideline for the show, we brought in Tyler Sullivan, who joined Will Brinson and Ryan Wilson to break down one of the craziest Super Bowls of all time. Here's a look at some of the keys from the game that we touched on during the podcast.The Chiefs offensive line dominated the game.The Eagles went into this game with the third-most sacks in a single season in history and they to that total on Sunday night. Even though 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 (76 yards on 15 carries) was nearly unstoppable.If the Eagles had won, Hurts would have definitely been the MVP. Not only did he throw for 304 yards and a touchdown, but he also rushed for 70 yards and three touchdowns, making him the first QB in Super Bowl history to rush for three touchdowns in a single game. Hurts also scored a two-point conversion that tied the game at 35 with Paul Kariya Jersey 5:15 left to play. Although Hurts was great, he did make one huge mistake in the second quarter when he lost a fumble that Kansas City's returned 36 yards for a touchdown. Besides that, Hurts played a nearly flawle s game and the biggest benefactors of that were (Seven catches, 100 yards) and (six catches, 96 yards, 1 TD). was a major X factor.The Chiefs receiver only touched the ball three times in the Super Bowl, but he still . Toney's only reception on the night went for a 5-yard score that gave the Chiefs a 28-27 lead in the fourth quarter. His other two touches came on punt returns, and . Toney's return set the Chiefs up at Philly's 5-yard line and Kansas City ended up scoring a TD three plays later that gave the Chiefs a 35-27 lead with 9:22 left to play.Controversial finish.Four days before the Super Bowl, Roger Goodell was better than ever, but you'll probably have a hard time convincing anyone of that after this game. With just under two minutes to play in the game, was called for a defensive holding penalty on third-and-8 with 1:54 left that e sentially gave the game to the Chiefs. Although Bradberry that he did "tug" on jersey, he was hoping it wouldn't be called (You ). The problem is that there wasn't a single defensive holding call in the game and the refs chose the final minute to finally throw a flag on it. If you're going to officiate the game a certain way for 58 minutes and then flip it in the final minute, that's not fair to players. If you're going to let them play, then let them play, but the refs didn't do that, and for a second Anthony Stolarz Jersey year in a row, a controversial holding call helped decide the Super Bowl. redeems himself. After mi sing a field goal off the left upright in the first quarter, Butker absolutely redeemed himself by hitting the game-winning kick with just eight seconds left. The kick offered some major redemption for Butker, who struggled at times this season. Butker's season got off Ondrej Kase Women Jersey to an ugly start when he injured his ankle in Week 1 during a game in Arizona (That's right, he got hurt in the same stadium where he made his game-winner on Sunday night). I wrote more about Butker's big kick and .Super Bowl field was in bad shape. The NFL spent more than a year creating a new gra s surface, but maybe they should spend five years next time, because the field was a disaster. Players were slipping all over the place, with Eagles left tackle even ." Eagles kicker even wiped out on a kickoff due to the turf conditions (You ).To listen to today's episode -- and to subscribe to the best daily NFL podcast out there -- . If you want to see what it looks like for me to sulk for 35 straight minutes, then you can see . There was definitely some debate about who the MVP was going to be on Sunday, but in the end, the award ended up going to Mahomes, who has now won two Super Bowl MVP awards in just four years.Here's a look at why Mahomes won the award:Mahomes comes up in the clutch.The Chiefs pulled off a 10-point comeback, which is tied for the second-largest in Super Bowl history, and they were able to do it because Mahomes was nearly perfect in the second half. Over the final two quarters, Mahomes went 13 of 14 for 126 total yards and two pa sing touchdowns. On Kansas City's game-winning drive, Mahomes had an improbable 26-yard run that helped set up Harrison Butker's game-winning field goal. Overall, Mahomes was 21 of 27 for 182 yards and three touchdowns while also adding 44 yards on the ground.Mahomes does something he's never done before.The Chiefs scored on all four of their second Korbinian Holzer Kids Jersey -half drives, marking the first time in Mahomes' 94 career starts that they've scored on every drive in the second half. They were also just the second team in Super Bowl history to score on every drive in the second half of a game joining the 2017 Eagles.Mahomes was magical on the game-winning drive.With the Super Bowl hanging in the balance, Mahomes came up big. After the Eagles tied the game with 5:15 left, Mahomes drove the Chiefs into scoring territory with a 12-play, 66-yard drive that ate up 5:07 off the clock. One of the biggest plays of the drive was a 26-yard run BY MAHOMES ON AN INJURED ANKLE that completely caught the Eagles off guard (You ). That run took the Chiefs from Philadelphia's 43-yard line down to its 17-yard line and at that point, it felt like the
