2) Todd Bowles made tremendous adjustments on defense
If coaches could win the Super Bowl MVP, Todd Bowles should be the 2021 Super Bowl MVP. The adjustments that he made for Super Bowl LV were tremendous. Bowles' defense gave up 269 receiving yards and three touchdowns to Tyreek Hill in Week 12.
Hill was held in check throughout the whole game against the Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV. The Buccaneers secondary held Tyreek Hill to just 73 receiving yards. A lot of the receiving yards were because the Buccaneers were playing soft coverage towards the end of the game.
Once Todd Bowles took away the big play capability of Tyreek Hill, it put the Chiefs in a difficult situation. The Kansas City Chiefs offense is a three headed snake. Patrick Mahomes, Tyreek Hill, and Travis Kelce make up the three heads of the snake.
Tampa Bay's defense knocked out one of the heads in Tyreek Hill. The next step was eliminating Patrick Mahomes' ability to extend plays. The pressure that Tampa Bay put on Mahomes made it difficult for him to do much of anything during Super Bowl LV.
Todd Bowles became the first defensive coordinator to completley shut down the Kansas City Chiefs offense. His adjustments that he made from Week 12 to Super Bowl LV were amazing. It was like night and day watching the two games between the Chiefs and Buccaneers.
