And then there were two! The 2023 NFL season reaches its climax on Sunday as the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers meet at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas…Patrick Mahomes resumes his march towards the all-time greats in search of a second straight ring and third overall, while Brock Purdy, the famous last pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, finds himself one more win away from one of the greatest feats in sporting history.
