For Pete's Sake

Tyrann Mathieu delivered a fiery speech to Chiefs teammates before Super Bowl LIV

Defensive back Tyrann Mathieu did his best to get the Chiefs ready for Sunday’s game.

Mathieu delivered a fiery speech to the Chiefs defense before the start of Super Bowl LIV on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

NFL Films had its cameras on the field when Mathieu got the defense prepared to face the 49ers. One thing he did was remind teammates of the tough times early in the year.

“This is why we’re here,” he said. “You remember that stretch we had in September, October? We knew what kinda team we was, dog. All we had to do was believe in each other and play for each other. ...

“I watched a lot of people step up, dog. Big time players. That’s what we need today. We need energy. We need oneness, dog. We need to be remembered. Let’s go.”
