Spagnuolo made an appearance on a podcast and dissected Kansas City’s crucial stop late in Super Bowl LVIII.

The Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII win over the San Francisco 49ers saw the offense come alive down the stretch, but the defense also played a huge role.Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo led one of the NFL’s most creative groups all season long, with those efforts paying off in the big game.

 

 

Kansas City held San Francisco to 22 points in five quarters of play, surrendering just two touchdowns on the evening and helping fuel the team’s comeback. When things got tough late in the game, the Chiefs stepped up.

 

After the 49ers let the clock run down to the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter, Kansas City was forced to change its pre-snap call on third-and-five. Spagnuolo switched to a fourth-down play coming out of the break. Cornerback Trent McDuffie got a free pressure on Brock Purdy that ultimately forced a long field goal, although he wasn’t the only critical element of that equation.

 

 

Speaking to Peter Schrager on his The Season podcast this week, Spagnuolo explained why the trust between him and linebacker Nick Bolton also influenced the decision.”We made a particular call and then when it went to the two-minute warning — of course with the Super Bowl, with these timeouts, big break, huge break — that’s when the wheels go like this (rotating motion),” Spagnuolo said.

 

“It was at that moment you look up and go, ‘OK, this is a fourth-down play. This is not a third-and-four or five or whatever it was. This is critical. I had a thought, I looked at my list and I said, ‘I need to ask Nick about this.’ This is the trust I have in Nick Bolton.

 

So Nick’s on the field — he can’t talk to me — but I’m staring right at him. I clicked the button and I said, ‘Nick, what do you think about this?’ All I wanted to do was see his reaction and he just started [going] yes, yes, yes and did the signal. He was all-in. I knew when he was all-in that we should change it to that so we change personnel and put a different call in. It was a fourth-down call, or what he had on a fourth-down list, it was for the critical situation.”

HE SAID TEN WORDS THAT MORNING — AND NOW IT SOUNDS LIKE HE KNEW WHAT WAS COMING They were gentle. Loving. Almost too perfect. But when Erika looks back on the last thing Charlie Kirk said before walking out the door, she can’t shake the feeling: he somehow knew. There was something in his tone — not panic, not sadness, but peace. As if he was saying goodbye, without ever saying the word. Erika says she felt a strange unease at the time, but brushed it off… until the news shattered everything. Could he really have sensed what was coming? Or did fate put the right words in his mouth at the wrong time? His final sentence now carries a haunting clarity — and her reflection on it is heartbreakingly raw.

“Her body gave out before her voice did” — Erika Kirk faints on Air Force Two as Charlie Kirk’s coffin arrives in Arizona. Carried away by aides, the 36-year-old widow left mourners shaken and divided: was it just grief, or a sign of the unbearable pressure now resting on her shoulders? The silence on the tarmac, the sirens, and the cameras rolling made the moment impossible to ignore,She rose slowly — fragile, grieving, yet unrelenting — and with surgical calm, placed her words in the heart of a chapel crowded with cameras. What began as a farewell instantly turned into a cultural reckoning — and the entire country leaned closer. But she had no idea: the moment wasn’t just about loss. It was about what the silence had concealed. Every tribute, every carefully rehearsed line from polished figures in dark suits, cracked under her stare. The air tightened. The crowd froze. The entire ceremony became a courtroom. this was one of the most unforgettable public reckonings of 2025. So what exactly did she mean? And why did one glance make the entire room question what they had just heard?…….⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️⤵️
