Nick Bolton is headed to the Super Bowl!

Nick Bolton’s going to Arizona!

Nick Bolton, AFC Champion. The words sound good, don’t they?

Bolton’s Chiefs are headed to their third Super Bowl in four years after a late field goal by Harrison Butker. And even though it wasn’t the greatest game for Bolton...

... he undoubtedly deserves some kudos for helping the Chiefs get there.

It’s not every day that a Mizzou Tiger makes it to the Super Bowl. As Dave Matter puts it on Twitter, Bolton could join a rare fraternity by joining and winning this year’s championship.

Someone tell him to prepare for Jalen Hurts. He’s a better runner than Burrow.

Katlyn Gilbert had four turnovers, but starters Lauren Hansen, Jayla Kelly, Haley Troup and Mama Dembele combined for 10 of those 22.

This is where Missouri can make its immediate changes.

Freshmen Averi Kroenke and Ashton Judd have shown they can keep up with SEC speed. Kroenke has arguably been Missouri’s best defender, too. They deserve to have a shot at being the players leading the Tigers coming out of the gate.
