"Kansas City Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes -- all those guys they got great players and they can put points on the board," Rice said. "So we're gonna have to go out there and we're going to have to earn this football game and this Super Bowl."

Rice even joked that he ran 100 yards in the last game -the championship game- and he's said he would run 100 yards more to get the crowd pumped up and excited.
"Probably because I ran 100 yards last ball game against the Packers, I'm going to try and do the same thing during this ball game," Rice said. "I'm not sure if security is gonna be chasing me down the field or they might jump on me and carry me out, but I'm gonna try. We're gonna have a good time."

Young said Jimmy Garoppolo or Kyle Juszczyk.

"He's open, he's really open to be able to throw it eight times or 48 times and I think Kyle's the kinda guy -- coach Shanahan the head coach, he'll just go with what's working. So it's possible that Jimmy G is the MVP, it's possible that Kyle Juszczyk is the MVP," Young said.
