In my opinion, this guy won the game for the Chiefs. His blitz packages were dialed in at the exact right time every single time

Agreed.
He basically challenged SF the entire 3rd quarter to beat them in blitz/cover zero situations. Time and time agains the NIners came up empty. Maybe my biggest critique is he got away from it in the 4th quarter. SF never really showed they could counter it the entire game.
I will be honest, I thought Spags was trash a few years ago, thinking he wasn't aggressive enough, especially since the Chiefs struggled to get pressure. This year I thought he did an excellent job, though having studs at multiple levels helps with that tremendously.
I'm going to call it now, but if healthy Bolton will be a first team All Pro player next year. He's had several near misses, like that lateral pass, where he reads it and either takes a bad angle or does 1 little thing not quite right. But man, his reads and instincts are next level. He was great this year but I think he really puts it together next and gets the recognition he deserves.
These last 4 or so years the Chiefs have knocked their back 7 draft picks out of the ******* park.
