The First Read: Five most important questions ahead of 49ers-Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII | NFL.com
1) Do the Chiefs need a huge game from Patrick Mahomes to win? As strange as it sounds, the answer to that is a resounding “NO.” Mahomes needs to play well, but anybody who’s watched him in this postseason can see that he’s gone to another level with his quarterbacking abilities. He’s averaged 239.3 passing yards in Kansas City’s three playoff wins while tossing all of four touchdown passes. He only had 241 passing yards on 30 completions against the Ravens’ vaunted defense, which reveals plenty about how the Chiefs have been approaching their offensive strategy in the postseason.
