Gutfeld: Super Bowl LV preview

Gutfeld previews the big game between the Chiefs and Buccaneers

It’s not out of the realm of possibility that Super Bowl LV can feature a ton of turnovers through the air with the long passes Patrick Mahomes and Tom Brady are known to throw.

In the teams’ Week 12 matchup, Brady was the one who had some turnovers. Brady tossed two picks in the 27-24 loss. Mahomes came away without an interception, but throwing 49 passes as he did in that game could lead to bad decisions if he isn’t careful.

The defenses for both teams have played tight in the playoffs and that trend might continue come Feb. 7 in Tampa.

Here are the quarterbacks who have tossed the most interceptions in a single Super Bowl.
