"Avast ye scurvy Chiefs! Young Nick Bosa be claimin' yer offensive line be holdin' like a bunch o' landlubbers!"

Arrr! The Super Bowl be but a fortnight away, yet the crews ain't arrived in fair Las Vegas. Yet, young Nick Bosa be startin' a battle o' words betwixt the Niners and Chiefs. Avast! The sea o' sport be churnin'!
The language of a 17th-century pirate adds a humorous tone to the war of words between Super Bowl foes, the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. These two powerhouses are set to meet in a rematch from four years ago on Feb. 11 in Las Vegas. The Chiefs came back from a 10-point deficit to win that Super Bowl. The rivalry between these teams is officially reignited. Nick Bosa, the dominant defensive lineman for the 49ers, had some fighting words for the Chiefs. Bosa spoke to reporters and didn't hold back when discussing Chiefs offensive linemen Donovan Smith and Jawaan Taylor, accusing them of holding. There is some truth to Bosa's comment, as Taylor had the second-most holding penalties in the NFL and the most total penalties. Trey Smith and Creed Humphrey of the Chiefs also committed holding penalties during the season, with the Chiefs having the second-most holding penalties on offense. Bosa, who led the NFL in sacks last year, will be hard to stop. The Super Bowl kickoff is scheduled for 6:35 p.m. ET on Feb. 11.
