Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Frank Clark didn't exactly mince his words when talking about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo following his team's 31-20 victory in Sunday's Super Bowl.
"You paying the guy $140 million, $130 million, whatever he's getting paid, man," he said in an interview with Fox Sports' Peter Schrager. "He's gotta throw the ball. Obviously he didn't do that. They threw for about 200 yards on checkdowns, that ain't enough to win a game against us."
The sentiment was similar to that of Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu, who said his team was "grateful they got out of the run and started to throw the ball," per ESPN's Will Cain.
