I’ve been waiting all night for an interception. It has been soooo close so many times.

Took the wind out of the pats’ sails.

Patriots were starting to look good there for a minute but then Drake Maye went and Sam Darnold’d it.

I think he has a case, though Meyers now set the record for most FGs in a Super Bowl.

FWIW, a kicker has never won the Super Bowl MVP. The only specialist of any flavor to have won it was kick/punt returner Desmond Howard, for the Packers in Super Bowl XXXI. His touchdown on a kickoff return broke the backs of the other team, which was…the New England Patriots.

Chenna with the strip 6!

I love that Seattle is showing the world who ignores them who they are.

Another record, tied for most sacks with 7 (yes a fumble on what would have been a sack still counts as one), with 4 other teams.

I’m leaning towards giving the MVP to someone on the Seattle defense; I’m just not sure whom.

Coulda been the lowest scoring SB, only shutout, and no offensive scores. But the had to go turn it into somewhat of a football game.

They say Myers has the most points, but I got him for 17, while several people like Jerry Rice had 3 TDs for 18.

They infamously gave it to Too Mean Martin and Manster [ed.] White in XII, which I felt shortchanged Too Tall Jones who was in Morton’s face the entire first half.

That was a really close one there.

29-13.

Kenneth Walker for MVP. Jason Meyers is a nice oddity and good for him, but he’s making chip shots (none longer than 41 yards) and has not been under any real pressure. Giving the MVP to a kicker over a guy who carried the offense and had 150+ yards from scrimmage would be laughable.

Oh no! Touchdown called back.

For a game that did not have many penalties, that was the most costly one.
