Feet to the Fire
Anyone part of
the Chicago Bears, from ball boy/girl to McCaskey matriarch, when seen out in
public should be asked the following question: Patrick Mahomes? It should go on for as long as it takes to get
a real answer.
That means if GM
Ryan Pace ventures out of his cocoon (something he’s loath to do), he gets the
question. Head coach Matt Nagy says a
word about how happy he is for his old coach Andy Reid, he gets the
question. Virginia McCaskey on her way
to a charitable function, she gets the question; ditto all her kids. How did this football organization, founded
by the man who all but founded the NFL, screw up on quarterback Patrick
Mahomes?
Some
extraordinary talent was on full display last night as Mahomes and his Chiefs
toyed with the 49ers, spotting them a ten-point lead going into the fourth
quarter of Super Bowl LIV. Final score:
Chiefs 31 49ers 20. Mahomes led two
drives ending in touchdown passes. The
third touchdown, on a 38-yard run by Damien Williams, was simply the
exclamation point that may attach itself to Mahomes the rest of his career. Forget the two interceptions he threw and
remember the 21 points his team scored during crunch time.
And, if you
don’t want to ask anyone in the Bears’ “family” about Mahomes, switch over to
kicker and ex-Bear Robbie Gould. He was
good for two field goals and two PATs.
Oh, Ryan….
