Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo joined Al Williams and JoJo Turnbeaugh from the Big Al & JoJo show to gloat talk about KC’s big win over the 49ers in Super Bowl 54 on Sunday.
While he admitted it’s great to have Patrick Mahomes “on our side,” he added that he goes through the same headaches every training camp and preseason and throughout the week as every AFC West rival team trying to dissect how to cover Mahomes.
“He’s something,” Spagnuolo said.
But the real genius of having Mahomes on “their side,” Spagnuolo acknowledged, is the intangible - the confidence boost to the defense that if they’re not playing their best game or they’ve had a few points scored on them, their quarterback can help.
