WHAT IS MOTIVATING THE CHIEFS THE MOST THIS WEEK. WINNING FOR ANDY REID IS AT THE TOP. ANDY HAS THE MOST NFL COACHING VICTORIES WITHOUT WINNING THE SUPER BOWL, AND THE PLAYERS KNOW IT. REID HAS BEEN HEARING THE OUTPOURING OF LOVE FROM HIS PLAYERS THIS WEEK AND SAYS, “I’M HUMBLED BY IT, VERY HUMBLED BY IT.” ANDY IS 61 AND IN HIS 2ND SUPER BOWL. HIS EAGLES LOST TO NEW ENGLAND IN 2005
THE 49ers HAVE BEEN PRACTICING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI ALL WEEK, BUT ONLY AFTER SOME SQUAKING. THE NINERS DEEMED THE FIELD TO BE UNSAFE TO PRACTICE ON AT FIRST, THE UNIVERSITY REFUSED TO PAY TO UPGRADE THE FIELD. SO, IN THE END THE NINERS PAID TO PUT IN A WHOLE NEW FIELD SURFACE TO PRATICE ON.
