Super Bowl Special: The Chiefs Beat the Eagles and all is well.

A Super Bowl winner's offensive coordinator can't get a head coaching job.

The awful guy's sports news show opens on the Chiefs' 38-35 Super Bowl win over the Eagles. It starts by walking through the score sheet from the first quarter to the finish, with Jalen Hurts' one-yard touchdown, Travis Kelsey's 18-yard catch from Patrick Mahomes, A.J. Brown's 35-yard touchdown, Nick Bolton's 36-yard fumble return, Hurts' rushing score, Jake Elliott's 35-yard field goal, Isaiah Pacheco's one-yard run, Jake Elliott's 33-yard field goal, the fourth-quarter touchdowns from Kedarious Tony and Sky Moore, Hurts' final rushing score, and Harrison Buckner's 27-yard field goal to close it out. The tone stays loose. The host sounds like someone still replaying the game in real time, with praise, surprise, and corrections all stacked together as the recap moves along. Juju gets attention. He is framed as a major chain-mover, with the episode noting nine targets, seven catches, 53 yards, and four first downs, while also pointing to an uncalled hold when his arm appeared to be pulled across the middle. Kelsey stands out. Travis Kelsey is credited with six targets, six catches, 81 yards, one touchdown, and four first downs, which the episode treats as proof that he kept the offense grounded when it needed an answer. McKinnon matters too. Jarek McKinnon is described as having his biggest impact in the second half, with the episode noting three catches for 15 yards and speculating about the creative ways the Chiefs used him, including work in a fullback-like spot, handoffs, and jet sweeps. Sky Moore lands one. The show gives Sky Moore credit for a touchdown and a first-down catch, then adds Kedarious Tony and Justin Watson to the list of players who turned short throws into useful snaps. The passing game feels layered. The point the host keeps returning to is that all those first-down catches kept Kansas City in position to win, because the offense did not lean on one star to do everything. The officiating debate lingers. The episode spends time on the Juju Smith-Schuster hold against Bradbury, acknowledging that some people called it ticky-tack while still insisting that the contact counted as a hold on a third-down play that mattered. The conversation widens. It then drifts into a strange but pointed riff on Eric Bieniemy and Patrick Mahomes, focusing on the timing of Bieniemy's rise in Kansas City, before turning toward a take on how Stephen A. Smith gets used in racial-media conversations. The ending is argumentative. It closes by suggesting that the deeper story may live in the Xs and O's rather than the public spin, and that is where the host seems to think the real answer about Bieniemy still sits.
