>>> WE ARE BACK ON A SATURDAY MORNING WITH LESS THAN 36 HOURS
TO GO UNTIL THE BIG GAME, SUPER
BOWL LIV.
BOWL LIV. >> I LIKE YOUR SPIRIT.
IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T HEARD THIS
YEAR IT’S THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
AGAINST YOUR SAN FRANCISCO 49ers
TO DECIDE THE CHAMPION OF THE
NFL’S 100th SEASON.
THE GAME KICKING OFF AT 6:30
P.M. EASTERN TIME.
>> AND ALL EYES WILL BE ON THE
QUARTERBACKS, THE CHIEF’S
PATRICK MAHOMES AND THE 49ers
JIMMY GUAROPPOLO.
JIMMY GUAROPPOLO. GAROPPOLO ON YOUR LEFT WON TWO
SUPER BOWL AS TOM BRADY’S BACKUP
BUT HASN’T BEEN CHALLENGED SO
FAR THESE PLAYOFFS COMPLETING
ONLY 17 PASSES.
>> PATRICK MAHOMES LEADS THE
PLAYOFFS WITH EIGHT TOUCH DOWN
PASSES AND WORTH MENTIONING IF
THE CHIEFS WIN MAHOMES WILL BE
ONLY THE THIRD AFRICAN-AMERICAN
QUARTERBACK IN NFL HISTORY TO
LIFT THE LOMBARDY TROPHY.
IT’S ALSO BEEN 50 YEARS SINCE
THE CHIEFS WON THE SUPER BOWL.
SOMETHING THEY KNOW ALL TOO WELL
IN KANSAS CITY.
>> WHO’S GOING TO WIN?
THE CHIEFS ARE THE FAVORITES A
63% CHANCE OF WINNING ACCORDING
TO PROJECTIONS.
TO PROJECTIONS. BUT OF COURSE IT’S REALLY
ANYONE’S GAME AT THIS POINT.
>> NBC’S MIKE TIRICO WITH MORE
ON WHAT TO EXPECT.
>> WE ARE CERTAINLY READY AND
LOOKS LIKE A GREAT DAY TOMORROW
AND EVERYTHING IN PLACE FOR A
TERRIFIC SUPER BOWL.
>> TWO OF THE BEST YOUNG QBs IN
THE GAME, PATRICK MAHOMES, JIMMY
GAROPPOLO 28.
GAROPPOLO 28. MAHOMES OBVIOUSLY A HOUSEHOLD
NAME.
NAME. WHO HAS THE ADVANTAGE HEADING
INTO TOMORROW NIGHT’S GAME.
>> THAT IS INTERESTING BECAUSE
GAROPPOLO HAS TWO SUPER BOWL
RING AND MAHOMES FEELS LIKE HAS
MORE EXPERIENCE ON THE FIELD.
HE HAS NOT BEEN ASKED TO THROW
THE FOOTBALL A LOT, BUT WE DID
SEE HIM IN BIG GAMES AT NEW
ORLEANS THIS YEAR WIN A
SHOOTOUT, SO HE CAN DO IT.
BUT MAHOMES, THERE’S SOMETHING
ELECTRIC ABOUT HIM.
THERE’S A MAGIC ABOUT HIM, HIS
ABILITY TO ROLLOUT, THROW, MAKE
THESE PASSES ACROSS HIS BODY.
HE’S GOT THAT LITTLE ELECTRICITY
ABOUT HIM.
ABOUT HIM. SO IF THERE’S A GUY WHO CAN BE A
BREAK OUT STAR AFTER THIS, IT IS
PATRICK MAHOMES.
PATRICK MAHOMES. >> ALL RIGHT, A LOT OF
ANTICIPATION THERE.
ANTICIPATION THERE. LET’S TALK ABOUT THE COACHES
NOW.
NOW. ANDY REID, I HAVE A SOFT SPOT IN
MY HEART FOR ANDY REID.
I’M FROM PHILADELPHIA.
OF COURSE HE USED TO COACH THE
EAGLES AND OF COURSE THE 49ers
KYLE SHANAHAN.
KYLE SHANAHAN. AND THIS IS IN HIS FAMILY SO
TALK ABOUT THE STAKES FOR THESE
TWO COACHES.
TWO COACHES. >> WE’LL GO PHILLY FIRST,
KRISTEN, AND YOU’RE RIGHT.
ANDY REID SURVIVED PHILLY.
13 YEARS THEY GOT TO A SUPER
BOWL.
BOWL. THEY WERE DISAPPOINTED WITH HIM
WHEN HE WAS THERE BUT NOW HE’S
GONE THEY REALIZE HOW SPECIAL HE
WAS, TERRIFIC WORK IN AIKT YEARS
IN KANSAS CITY.
IF THERE’S A SENTIMENTAL PLAY
FOR PEOPLE AROUND FOOTBALL IT’S
ANDY REID FINALLY WINNING A
SUPER BOWL.
SUPER BOWL. HE’S BEEN SO GOOD FOR SO LONG.
KYLE SHANAHAN, HIS DAD WAS A
SUPER BOWL WINNING COACH.
HIS DAD STILL GETS VIDEO OF ALL
THE PRACTICES THE 49ers HAD TO
STAY IN TOUCH WITH WHAT HIS SON
IS DOING.
IS DOING. IT’S A GREAT CONNECTION.
EITHER ONE WOULD BE TERRIFIC
WORTHY SUPER BOWL CHAMPION HEAD
COACHES AFTER TOMORROW NIGHT.
>> YOU’RE NOT CALLING THE GAME
SO WE CAN ASK YOU THIS, WHO DO
YOU LIKE?
YOU LIKE? >> YOU MEAN I HAVE TO PICK?
MY HEAD SAYS SAN FRANCISCO AND
THEIR FOREMAN PASS RUSH WILL BE
A LITTLE TOO MUCH BUT MY HEART
SAYS KANSAS CITY.
SO THERE RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE
FOR YOU.
FOR YOU. IF YOU MAKE ME PICK I’LL SAY
KANSAS CITY.
KANSAS CITY. >> KELSEY, MAHOMES, GAROPPOLO IS
GOING TO BE A FUN ONE TO WATCH.
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU.
