Gutfeld: Super Bowl LV preview

Gutfeld previews the big game between the Chiefs and Buccaneers

Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady are going to have a lot of eyes on them as the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers fight for NFL supremacy in Super Bowl LV.

The single-game passing touchdown mark is in the crosshairs for both quarterbacks. They both lit up the stat sheet during the teams’ Week 12 matchup. Mahomes and Brady each had three touchdown passes and if things get out of hand on Feb. 6, it’s not hard to believe that six touchdown passes for either player is possible.

Last year, Mahomes had two touchdown passes in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIV win.

Brady is third all-time in touchdown passes in a single Super Bowl game. He had four against the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX.
