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.”

AG PAM BONDI ON THE BRINK OF JAIL: Judge Chutkan EXPLODES Over DOJ’s Epstein “Cover-Up” – Orders EXPEDITED DOCS to Probe If Bondi LIED About “Client List on Her Desk” to Shield Trump! Is This the END of MAGA’s Pedo-File Facade? HOLY HELL – In a DC courtroom nuke that’s got Bondi’s DOJ scrambling like rats on fire, Judge Tanya Chutkan just TORPEDOED the Attorney General with an 11/25 ULTIMATUM: Hand over INTERNAL COMMS NOW on why Bondi hyped the Epstein “client list” as “sitting on my desk” for Trump-mandated transparency – then SUDDENLY FREEZE-RELEASED it all, citing bogus “grand jury secrecy” after whispers Trump’s name popped up in the files! This FOIA bombshell from Democracy Forward screams “misled the American people” and “reversal to cover-up,” forcing DOJ to spill by Dec. 19 deadline under the new Epstein Files Transparency Act – or face CRIMINAL CONTEMPT charges that could LOCK BONDI UP for defying the rule of law! Flashback to the clusterfuck: Feb ’25 drop? 200 redacted pages of “nothingburgers” slammed as a “political stunt” by left and right alike. July DOJ memo? “No client list exists” – despite Bondi’s Fox News tease of bombshells on Dem elites. Now, with SDNY’s Jay Clayton (Trump’s ex-lawyer!) tapped to “investigate Democrats only” while blocking full unseal, X is ERUPTING: “Bondi’s obstructing to jail – protecting her pedo boss!” blasts survivors and whistleblowers, with calls for her HEAD as FBI’s Dan Bongino nearly QUIT over the stonewall. Trump? Rages it’s a “Dem hoax” on Truth Social, but insiders leak White House FREAKOUT – this contempt probe (echoing Boasberg’s immigration smackdown) could EXPOSE Trump’s Epstein ties, TORPEDO Bondi’s career, and UNLEASH 1,000+ victim files that name billionaires, pols, and stars! House GOP even warned her for “fumbling so badly.” As expedited processing hits warp speed, will Bondi CRUMBLE and cough up the dirt – or double down into DISGRACE? This isn’t theater – it’s a PRIVACY APOCALYPSE threatening to BURY the DOJ in perjury hell. Survivors demand: RELEASE IT ALL! Dive in BEFORE the redactions bury the truth forever! ️‍♀️
