No NFL player has ever been in more Super Bowls than . No player has ever won more Super Bowls than Tom Brady. Having been to nine
Kyle Korver Jersey Super Bowls in his career, Brady has considerably more experience playing on Sunday than any other player on either the or the . Among players participating in Super Bowl LV, the only other player who has participated in more than one Super Bowl is Brady's former teammate , who has been to four.One thing Brady doesn't have quite as much experience with, though, is being a Super Bowl underdog. Only twice in his nine trips has Brady's team not entered the game as the betting favorite. Sunday will make it three out of 10, as our friends at William Hill Sportsbook have listed the Chiefs as 3-point favorites over the Bucs.It's worth looking back, then, at what happened the
Utah Jazz Hoodie last two times Brady's team was a Super Bowl underdog.Super Bowl XXXVI vs. St. Louis Very famously, the Patriots were not the favorites in their first Super Bowl. The Rams were actually 14-point favorites for that game, what with The Greatest Show on Turf rolling through the league for the better part of the 2001 season. Kurt Warner, Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Marshall Faulk, Ricky Proehl, and Az-Zahir Hakim formed one of the most unstoppable attacks in recent NFL history, and as such, nearly everyone expected them to win. Of course, that's not how it worked out. Instead, the Patriots defense clamped down on Warner and company, holding them to only 17 points. Brady himself was in just his first season as a starter, and wasn't asked to do much more than not lose the game. And he lived up to that expectation, completing 16 of 27 pa ses for 145 yards and a touchdown. More than half of those 145 yards came on the final drive of the game, though, as he went 5 of 8 for 73 yards to lead
Mike Conley Jersey the Pats down the field and set up game-winning 48-yard field goal.The Pats secured a 20-17 victory, and a nascent
John Stockton Jersey dynasty was born.Super Bowl XLIX vs. Thirteen years later, Brady's Patriots were underdogs again. This time, it was against the Legion of Boom-led Seahawks, a defensive juggernaut that had spent the better part of three seasons stifling opposing offenses and had won the Super Bowl the year before. Armed with , , , , K.J. Wright, , , and more, there were few teams better-equipped to stop the high-flying Patriots offense, which averaged 29.3 points per game that season. For a while, it looked like the Seahawks might do exactly that. Neither team scored during the first quarter of the game. While each team scored two touchdowns during the second quarter and it was tied 14-14 at halftime, the Seahawks proceeded to stake themselves to a 10-point lead in the third quarter. Brady, though, had other things in mind. He was intercepted twice during the game, but he also completed 37 of 50 pa ses for 328 yards and four scores, including two in the fourth quarter to give the Patriots a 28-24 lead with just over two minutes left in the game. worked his team down the field and got them all the way to the 1-yard line, but made one of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history, stepping in front of

quarterback has finally taken care of an injury that hampered him all season, and that injury may have played a part in his statistical regre sion. According to Jeff Dickerson of ESPN, Trubisky in his left, non-throwing shoulder shortly after the conclusion of the
Jordan Clarkson Jersey regular season. The typical recovery time for this "minor" procedure is usually a "couple of months."The former No. 2 overall pick (2017 ) suffered the injury in the 16-6 win against the in Week 4. Trubisky would mi s the Bears' trip to London, where they lost to the , 24-21, but would
Bojan Bogdanovic Jersey return in Week 7 after Chicago's bye week. Trubisky then struggled mightily against backup quarterback and the , losing 36-25 in front of a chorus of booing Bears fans. He would battle through the pain and start the last 11 regular-season games.Trubisky did improve somewhat towards the end of the regular season, but the Bears still finished 8-8 and mi sed the postseason after winning the NFC North with a 12-4 record last year. After throwing for 3,223 yards, 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in last year's campaign, Trubisky threw for 3,138 yards, just 17 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions this season.When Bears head coach Matt Nagy and general manager Ryan Pace addre sed the state of the franchise in December, to prove he should be the starter
Utah Jazz T-Shirts moving forward. "Yes we do," replied Pace, . "I think with Mitch -- and
Rayjon Tucker Jersey we need more time in the coming months to evaluate everything -- the first thing that comes to mind for me is just consistency. You see moments, you see games, but for him, stringing together better consistency. You have the peaks and valleys; we just need to flatten that out."Trubisky finished No. 21 overall in pa sing yards this season, which was
Ricky Rubio Jersey behind players like , , and -- all who had played in le s than 15 games. This season will mean a lot for both Trubisky and the Bears. As a first-round pick, Chicago has a fifth-year option on their quarterback, but they will have to pick it up by early May in order to keep him on his rookie deal through the 2021 season. It will be interesting to see what they decide to do.
One of the most intriguing training camp battles in the NFL this year is taking place in Chicago, where coach Matt Nagy is going to have to decide whether or should be his starting quarterback this year. Trying to pick a winner in this quarterback competition isn'
Chris Chiozza Jersey t going to be easy, and a big reason for that is because Nagy is going to have le s than five weeks of practice and zero preseason games to work with before he has to make the decision.If Nagy is looking for some outside help when it comes to making the quarterback decision, then
Brooklyn Nets Hats he might want to give Brett Favre a call, because the former quarterback knows who he would start if he were in charge of making the decision."I look at it this way: How will Nick Foles play in Chicago? I don't know," Favre said recently . "I just base it off of how they both have performed when they have been given the opportunity and Nick Foles, I think, has performed better. Not in competition with Trubisky, because they haven't been in competition yet."For Favre, it basically comes down to who has a better on-
Garrett Temple Jersey field track record and that honor definitely goes to Foles, who already has a MVP under his belt. On the other hand, Trubisky has barely been playing average football since being drafted by the Bears in 2017. "If you just base it off how they've performed in real game situations," Favre said. "Obviously, Nick Foles won a Super Bowl and played lights out, so from that standpoint, Nick Foles is the better player."Although Favre would give the starting job to Foles, he did point out that doesn't know what "either player looks like right now."Foles might be the better quarterback, but that doesn
Derrick Coleman Jersey 't nece sarily mean he'll be able to win the job right away. With practice time cut down compared to a normal year, Trubisky would seem to have an advantage over Foles because he already knows Nagy's system -- something the Bears -- so it's very po sible that . Nagy could decide to go with Trubisky in the Bears' regular season opener before turning the offense over to Foles once he becomes more comfortable with the coach's offensive system. No matter what happens, the Bears quarterback battle is going to be one camp competition you're definitely going to want to keep an eye on. As for Favre, if you want his take on a few other topics -- like , and the fact that is playing for a new team --

If you were to ask random NFL fans what their favorite
Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot Jersey game from the 2021 season was, you'd probably get an overwhelming amount that point to the divisional round showdown between the and . The two clubs combined for 78 points, which included a hectic back-and-forth fourth quarter where 28 total points were piled up.With just 17 seconds remaining in the game, Bills quarterback delivered what was thought to be the death blow to the Chiefs in Arrowhead when he completed a 19-yard touchdown to wideout Gabe Davis. However, -- who quickly moved K.C. 44 yards down the field to set up the game-tying field goal and force OT -- had other plans. Kansas City would then win the coin to s to begin overtime and march 75 yards as Mahomes would hit for the game-winner."People still come up to me and talk about it. That's the game people talk about," Allen . "To be a part of it is great, but to be on the losing end of it is not so great. It doesn't make me feel any better when someone comes up and says, 'That was the greatest game I've ever seen.' It's like, we lost."

While the lo s spoiled any chance for the Bills to advance to the AFC Championship and continue their path towards getting their first-ever win, Allen admitted that he's especially burned by losing both coin to ses. As the visiting team, Allen and the Bills were able to call the coin to s and the quarterback had been a perfect 9-0 at making the call leading into that matchup. However, that streak was snapped after losing both the to s to begin the game and to begin OT. And it may partially be our fault here at CBS Sports. Leading up to the game, Allen went through a production meeting with the CBS crew that was set to broadcast the playoff matchup. It was during that meeting that Allen
Caris LeVert Jersey says he was made aware of the perfect coin to s record and things went sideways from there."In our production meeting, it was jinxed, and I was 0-for-2 in that game," Allen said. "They brought up that stat, you're 9-0. ... I go 0-2 on coin to ses that game. I switched it up, I went heads first and then I went tails at the end, and it was obviously flip-flopped."With that in mind, to Allen and the rest of
Garrett Temple Jersey the Bills fanbase: Hand up. That's our bad. In the same vein as not mentioning to a pitcher that he's throwing a no-hitter, we probably should have just let the QB continue to run hot on the to s until the streak was snapped. One thing that did come out of that game, however, was the for the postseason that ensures each team will get a po se sion and no longer be subject to getting the coin to s correct, so Allen won't have much pre sure if faced with a similar call in the seasons to come.
Welcome to the final week of offseason workouts before NFL players, coaches and staff take their summer break and reconvene in late July for training camp.While a host of teams are ending the final phase of the offseason program with mandatory minicamps starting
Jordan Ford Jersey Tuesday, the Denver Broncos and Jacksonville Jaguars kick off their three days of mandatory work today.The Collective Bargaining Agreement allows each club to hold one mandatory minicamp for veteran players during Phase Three of the offseason program. The camps mark the first time each offseason that most players can fully dive into their on-field preparation for the upcoming campaign. With fewer veterans skipping the se sions and, unlike earlier workouts, coaches able to work with
Ivica Zubac Jersey players on the field, mandatory minicamps feel more like real practices.That means we'll see guiding new coach Nathaniel Hackett's scheme in Denver.The Jags are taking a different approach to mandatory minicamp, with new coach Doug Pederson giving most of the veterans the week off."I'm still having the mandatory minicamp, mandatory three days, but I'm only doing the rookies, selected veterans and our injured players," Pederson said last week. "The injured players are guys that maybe finished the season with an injury that worked all offseason. I just require them to stay here and still get treatment and
Bill Walton Jersey rehab. So, it's a chance to really work with our young players and some of the selected vets on a little more of a one-on-one
Mfiondu Kabengele Jersey basis. We're going to do that next week, so the veterans are done."Pederson, who coached the Eagles from 2016-2020, noted that the veterans earned the extra time off."It's all based on what they've done," he said. "I've done this kind of thing in the past, but at the same time, I wanted to see this group work and work together. It wasn't final until just within the last week or so for me to make the decision. Again, these guys have worked extremely hard. They've earned

This was a calculated move, however, as the Ravens want to maintain their aggre sive rushing style in 2020.During an appearance on "The Lounge" on Tuesday, Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta indicated that he envisions a four-headed monster at running back this season."I would equate it to us last year having the tight ends that we had the three tight ends," DeCosta said, .

Junior Bridgeman Jersey got the four running backs and they all do different things well. It just makes us, I think, a really, really well-rounded team that's tough to defend." Dobbins was considered one of the top running backs in this cla s, as he rushed for 2,003 yards and 21 touchdowns in his junior season at Ohio State.
