My head say Kansas but my heart says Tampa. Go Bucks!
100% with you on that !
Yes, KC are the best team in the NFL but just as The Saints always seem to have bad luck KC seem to benefit with the Zebra's, last years Superb Owl Bosa was being embraced on the pivotal 3rd down, against Cleveland another shaky decision with a head to head, Hill should have had a penalty for removing a helmet earlier in the season.
I also don't like the fact KC 'know they are the best' either.

If the Bucks D get those safeties back heathy combined with those pass rushers might be a close game. Also need for the Bucs to do some simple catching practice.
Bucs could and should have been out of sight if not for butter fingers.
Baby GOAT v Actual GOAT though should be a classic.

no one, the plain truth is, like women's football, its really all they can afford, do you really think if they could to bid for a Prem package we'd see any of this garbage on their channels ?
feild marshall brady and bucs defence were the power houses in their victory
packers were "always" under pressure and at 28-10 it felt like deja vu from week 6. Rodgers bottled it on occasions , espesh with that chance to run towards inzone on 4th down late in 4th quarter , could have been 6 pts . Instead they took a 2pt kick, the rest is history. WELL PLAYED TAMPA ,goodbye rodgers

The Buccs defence were the difference between two great attacking line ups.
They will need to do it again in two weeks' time

For some reason I thought Tom Brady was just a player, not the owner. Anyway, thanks BBC for enlightening me, as you did with Wayne Rooney at Derby County.
Fantastic BBC covering a major, world interest sport. It's an extremely popular sport in the UK. All the Daily Mail reading bbc hating gammons........suck it up and enjoy!!!!!!
Kansas will win Super Bowl, easily..!

'Gammon' is a racial slur. If it's O.K to liken people's skin to uncooked pork, then what else is O.K?
But in an earlier comment the BBC are accused of loving America? And I thought the gammons love America because of trade deals & chlorinated chicken & special relationships (bet they use that line on everyone)

Not a great comment Manny. Like me, a lot of dedicated UK NFL fans grew up with Mick Luckhurst and the C4 coverage in the very early 80s...that made me a lifelong Raiders fan...which is why #12 will have my support on Super Bowl Sunday. Anyone but the Chiefs! ??

Could be an all time great Bowl....Brady knows it all...Mahomes can do the exceptional...here's to some great plays...:-)
Lot of negative comments on this from trolls and thickos who aren’t up to handling the complexities of American football.

Agreed. For outsiders it may be difficult to follow. No reason to knock it though.
Only Brady could have taken the Buccs to the Superbowl ... unbelievable. Sadly for Rogers he may always be remembered as a 'nearly' man.
Oh yes, American hand-egg, what s terrific sport. How many players on a team? About 300 isn't it?

The BBC covers virtually no proper sport.So let's show this crap that nobody cares two hoots about.
I like the one where they do high speed housework on an ice rink. The one where they have to clean up everything before the timer stone gets to the other end. Proper British sport that one!

No its not..... Its a micky take of the colour the cheeks a Brexit supporting, Daily Mail Reading, BBC hating, middle aged person goes, when he loses the argument on Brexit. The voters were conned. Project fear, as you lot described it...... Is now fact.!!! The gammons will suffer.

Marmite men, you either love them or hate them right?
Are you talking on the field of play or in the entire roster? Either way....
Only 11 players on the field Offense or Defence at any given time. So the same as a UK football tem!!
53 players make up the entire roster.

Hmmm, So the Bucs and Tom Brady make it. Unless my eyes deceived me i noted that every time the Buccs were on offence they used a black ball rather that the traditional coloured one the Packers used.
Could it be Brady prefers the feel of the black ball over the normal one, i mean it'd need to be something to ensure the opposition don't use the same ball as you are. Where have we seen that before?

Teams ALWAYS have their own footballs. Many of them have their logo printed on them, and there are balls for kicking plays too.
Every ball gets checked before the game and then given to the ball boys so if the officials are under the impression that every ball is ok they wouldn't be looking for it too hard. However, Tom could have been feeling the pressure .... :-)

Talk about a tale of two halves. Brady fantastic in the first, wasteful in the second. He has a fantastic Bucs defence to thank for carrying them over the line.
Yeh Brady second half at one point 3 of 7 passes for interceptions....

Mahomes passed fit to play after a week following concussion. You would have thought the NFL would be cautious after the class action suit. No recognised return to play protocol in this league? I want to see Mahomes play, but in this day and age.....
I did wonder that myself and I thought they did have protocol.. .I suspect something fishy here...
The protocols in the US state that a player has to return to their baseline status determined in the preseason, providing Mahomes did this he was always going to be cleared to play.
There are also significant fines that can be applied, so I cannot believe they would risk it with the possibility of facing $50,000 to $150,000. They could also lose draft picks if the situation calls for it.

Wales rugby player Josh Navidi, recently missed four months of the rugby season due to a single concussion incident. Playing one week after suffering concussion is ridiculous, but then again Mahomes earns $45m per 17 week season, and that type of investment requires sacrifices, even if one of them is your brain.....

What has gender got to do with anything? Both men and women play rugby....
Packers kind of blew it, missed easy 2 point catch and taking field goal with 2 mins to go.... nonsense decision... .
Sport not spot!

Will the BBC do an artical about the lack of diversity in American football?
Or how many of the players disrespect the American national anthem?
Diversity? Look at a football team, the diversity is huge, as long as you're around 6ft tall, 13st, with high levels of aerobic fitness.
You're attempt at racism is duly noted. What's the matter, not enough caucasians in the NFL for your liking?
They’re too busy reporting on illiterate people like you commenting on HYS - it’s “article”.

Hall of Fame QB Dan Marino was a stats accumulator. By the time he retired he owned pretty much all major passing records. Yet he never won a Super Bowl.
Brady has won six, and frankly I’d rather have a QB who gets picked off on third down trying to make things happen, than one who prefers to take a sack or just ground the ball. The end result is the same. The opposition have the ball.

It's a good job all Brady has to do is pass the ball. At 43, he looks to have all the natural mobility, strength and power of a 3 week old lettuce. What other contact sport allows you to have a 43 year old as your most pivotal player? And best paid? I fear the final will see him embarrassed, but he's done a hell of a job dragging his team there.
The Goat that nearly threw it away with 3 interceptions from 7 passes...Packers missed dead cert 2 point conversion in 4th quarter and why why why take field goal with 2 minutes to go....daft decision
DAFT DECISION INDEED but IT WAS THE PRESSURE that buccs defence PUT on green bay the whole game , VERY MUCH like the week 6 game
The Green Bay Head Coach spent most of the game going mad and shouting on the side-line. It really looked as if he had lost his cool for much of the game and I think that impacted on the play calling and rubbed off on the players too. As a Bucs fan it was great to see!!! Need to keep Tyreek and Kelce quiet in 2 weeks time - need to get the safety's back!! come on GOAT!!
Those 3 interceptions were all 3rd down deep Hail Mary passes that didn’t give away good field positions to packers , looks bad in the stats but Not like giving it away from scoring positions or on short passes in your own half
Agree
Rodgers bottled it

Not an expert, but have watched quite a lot over the last 5 or 6 years. What baffles me is the God-like status given to quarterbacks. Without decent offensive linesmen in front of them [for protection] they can't do much at all, other than get sacked or, more likely, throw the ball away. Without decent wide receivers it doesn't matter how well you throw if he can't catch it ! It's a team sport !
The game has so many aspects but appreciation of great 'O' lines is one that misses many. Great quaterback without a O line are just just average or under achieve luck Andrew Luck or Phillip Rivers. Average QB's with a good O line can look great like Goff
True but he is the focal point of every play bar kicks. And he's the only player that someone on the opposition would like to take out of the game, on every play.
What a story Tom Brady will be if Tampa Bay win the Superbowl. I was pleasantly surprised to see reduced crowds being allowed to attend the games. I thought the US was rife with Covid? Plenty of British sports teams will be wondering why they can't have reduced crowds too? I have 1st hand knowledge of how deadly it is, just wondering how it's possible over the pond.
Because they don't care - if a few thousand old dears pop their clogs, that's just the way it is.....
It’s not universal, Florida is looser than other states on attending sports
In some cases it’s simply down to who the Governor is and which party he is in ie Maga or Democrat

It's the individual states that set their rules and so some are tight and some are pretty lax I think. Some have had fans in all season, some just for the playoffs, whereas the 49ers were told they weren't even allowed in the stadium, let alone fans, so had to play their last 3 "home" games 700 miles away!
Because "Return" - Re "Crowds", USA is a very big place. Look it up, many websites have info. Sure, they have lots of Covid, more deaths than anywhere (though true figures from Russia, China, India & much of the 3rd world will probably never be known). But like here, they have cities & big towns, far more virus than the country. Many Americans think it's all overstated still!

Packers made some crazy decisions for example taking the field goal with 2 minutes left. Should be a good final, I expect Mahommes and the Chiefs to win by 10+
Yes David, they might (win by 10+). But they lost LT Fisher in this game, & you saw what Bucs D did to a GB offensive line that had given Rodgers terrific protection for just about the whole season? Plus the 2 Bucs injured safeties will be back for S'bowl. Oh, & Chiefs moved Remmers over to tackle for the rest of this game, HE got humiliated by Denver's D when Panthers lost S'bowl a few yrs ago!

Thx Dean, but that's a thoroughly ill-informed remark. "They don't care" stems from Trump, who didn't, and worse had no clue whatsoever in how to organise the Covid response, that in a country they repeatedly claim is the world's greatest. ALL countries have struggled with Covid, but their new admin will do better. Re NFL crowds, depends where. Like here, Covid stats vary by location.
