·36 min·2 clips

Brett says Josh Sweat, not Jalen Hurts, should be named Super Bowl MVP.

1. Around The Couch: An NFL Podcast centers this solo episode on Brett's Super Bowl recap and his "props." 2. Brett hosts alone after Andy, Axel, and Heath miss the recording, and he points listeners to the DVR Podcast Network and patreon.com/dvr. 3. The episode asks whether Philadelphia's 40-22 win over Kansas City, plus the week's betting results, changed the Super Bowl story. 4. Brett says the Eagles won because their defense was "unbelievable" and "championship caliber." 5. He cites Saquon Barkley's line of 25 carries, 57 yards, a 10-yard long run, 2.3 yards per carry, and zero touchdowns. 6. He says Kansas City's defense also played well, especially against Barkley, even though Philadelphia scored 40 points. 7. Brett recalls Kansas City starting 7-0, Patrick Mahomes opening with seven touchdowns and nine interceptions through the first seven games, and the Chiefs still reaching the Super Bowl. 8. He argues Philadelphia should have been favored over Kansas City before the game, not the Chiefs by 1.5 points. 9. He points to the Super Bowl's public betting market, the Chiefs' three-peat storyline, and the Eagles' statistical profile as reasons the line looked wrong. 10. Brett describes the game as the kind of Super Bowl blowout he has not seen since the first two and a half quarters of Super Bowl 51. 11. He says Jalen Hurts finished 17-for-22 for 221 yards, two passing touchdowns, one interception, and 72 rushing yards with one rushing score. 12. He argues Hurts was a good quarterback in the game, but not the most deserving candidate for Super Bowl MVP. 13. Brett says Josh Sweat should have won MVP after recording 2.5 sacks, two tackles for loss, and three quarterback hits against Mahomes. 14. He says Super Bowl MVP should go to the player who "played out of his mind" in the biggest game of his career. 15. Brett notes Mahomes still finished with 257 passing yards and says those were "garbage time yards" after the game was already decided. 16. He blames Kansas City's offensive line and Travis Kelce's drops more than Mahomes for the loss. 17. Brett shifts into a conversational, argumentative solo format, with repeated asides to listeners and references to emails at dvrpodcast at gmail.com. 18. He also criticizes Tom Brady's Fox broadcasting debut, saying the network paid for popularity instead of a proven color commentator. 19. Listeners who follow NFL recaps, prop bets, and offseason roster debate will get the most value here. 20. Listeners who want a team-neutral Super Bowl breakdown without opinionated side trips may skip it.
