Nick Bosa will be one of the defensive players that the Kansas City Chiefs must stop in their Super Bowl showdown against the San Francisco 49ers. There was no love lost between Bosa and the Chiefs as they faced off in Super Bowl 54 in 2020. However, the four-time Pro Bowler had some words about the Chiefs offensive line.
Bosa made it clear that Kansas City offensive linemen Jawaan Taylor and Donovan Smith "hold a lot." During an appearance on KSHB-41, both players were asked about Bosa's quote, which was made during Super Bowl media day on Monday. However, neither Taylor nor Smith spoke about Bosa and his holding comments.
