Ahead of Super Bowl LV on Sunday, Joe Theismann, former Washington quarterback and Super Bowl XVII champion, is calling the game for the defending champions, the Kansas City Chiefs.
"I think Patrick Mahomes is the X-factor and they've got so much speed on the offensive side of the ball," he told Cheddar.
According to the former champion quarterback, Mahomes couldn't be paired against a better opponent than someone with the resume and experience like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Tom Brady, who is making his 10th appearance on the game's biggest stage.
Though Theismann favors the Chiefs over the Bucs, he offered some sound advice for Kansas City players as they prepare to face the postseason version of Tampa Bay.
"The thing you have to be careful of in this game if you're the Kansas City Chiefs is you beat up on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers earlier in the year with big numbers. You put up over 400 yards passing. You can't think about that football game. This is an entirely different Tampa Bay football team," he explained.
The pairing of the league's new face with one that has dominated in three different decades adds to the allure of Super Bowl LV, and according to Theismann, "the two best teams are actually playing" in Sunday's big game.
