MMQB: Play That Set the Tone for Super Bowl LVII, Next Development for Lamar Jackson-Ravens Future

Links to our coverage from the first post-Super Bowl Monday, including Albert Breer’s conversations with Chiefs players on the one playcall they loved.

We're more than a week out from Super Bowl LVII, and there was no shortage of news. The MMQB staff has it all covered, but we also take one more look back at how the Chiefs knocked off Philly, and the moment that started it all.

We are trying things a little differently at The MMQB with Albert Breer’s Monday-morning column, publishing items as separate stories throughout the morning. Below are links to everything Albert wrote about this round, plus more from our staff.

“We talked about it a little earlier in the week, saying they were liking the play and everything and it could be up early,” center Creed Humphrey said Friday. “Yeah, when we got the first 15, though, installed, and that was the first play, that got me fired up.”

Chiefs players—specifically those on the offensive line—on why three yards meant a whole lot more.
