There were at least two irrefutable lessons Super Bowl-contending teams can glean from Sunday’s action.
1. Don’t single cover Tyreek Hill.
2. Wear a mask.
It should not have required disastrous on-field results to understand these truths were self-evident.
Yet, such reaffirmation was provided, first by Tampa Bay, which was torched by Hill to the tune of 269 yards, three touchdowns and one backflip. If opponents are going to let Hill run free for Patrick Mahomes, we might as well just hand Kansas City another Vince Lombardi Trophy.
