“Will Kansas City make history?”
The Kansas Metropolis Chiefs are in search of their fourth Tremendous Bowl title in six years. Clearly, neither franchise is a stranger to the Tremendous Bowl stage, having confronted one another in Tremendous Bowl LVII two years in the past, whereas KC comes into this championship alternative with core expertise and training that gained the Lombardi trophy final February. These Chiefs core gamers and coaches know the joys of Tremendous Bowl victory, however in addition they know the gut-wrenching sting of a demoralizing Tremendous Bowl defeat, having suffered that feeling 4 years in the past at Tampa. Philadelphia is aware of that feeling, by the hands of KC, all too effectively themselves. The sight of confetti falling in the intervening time of their defeat is more likely to be seen vividly within the eyes of gamers like Jalen Hurts and Chauncey Gardner-Johnson. Neither workforce desires to revisit that vacant feeling as confetti falls for his or her opponent.
For Kansas Metropolis, the highway to “three-peat” will likely be led by none aside from Patrick Mahomes. This comes as no shock. The premier quarterback of this era, and one of many all-time greats, alongside Brees, Manning, and Brady earlier than him, Mahomes has seen all of it. For the second-straight February, he faces a workforce he has already defeated within the Tremendous Bowl not too long ago, and like final yr, the problem is elevated on this rematch. With Andy Reid offering his recreation plan and protecting the ship on target, Mahomes could have the steadiest hand on the wheel.
For Philadelphia, coping with this Chiefs protection will likely be a troublesome job, they usually might want to lean totally on their most harmful weapon, Saquan Barkley, who’s making his debut on the NFL’s largest stage. Barkley might want to carry an offense that has leaned closely on the bottom recreation all season. The weapons are in place for the Eagles, and with these weapons on the disposal of Kellen Moore, they are going to be as troublesome to defend towards as they arrive. Moore is certainly one of many premier offensive minds within the NFL as we speak, and he could have his workforce remarkably ready for the second. Finally, this can be a first for Kellen Moore, in a yr of extra firsts to return, whereas Andy Reid is cast in these moments, and that can make for one of many pivotal variations late on this recreation.
The Philly protection has been fairly spectacular this previous season. The highest-ranked unit within the NFL, led by defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, who has gotten a number of deserved credit score for the output of his protection, however for all of his accomplishments, Fangio enters solely his second profession Tremendous Bowl look. The primary being San Francisco’s loss in Tremendous Bowl XLVII, satirically sufficient, additionally in New Orleans. On the opposite aspect, the KC protection is as soon as once more led by Steve Spagnuolo, who’s trying to win the fifth Tremendous Bowl title of his profession as a defensive coordinator. Fangio has had a fantastic profession as a defensive coordinator, however Spagnuolo has had a legendary one (effectively… minus one season we’re all too conscious of), and Spags, and his expertise in these moments, could in the end determine this recreation.
Andy Reid lastly shed the status as the nice head coach that may’t win the “big one”, when he gained his first Tremendous Bowl six years in the past, and now it’s Nick Sirianni’s probability to jot down his personal story. He’s bought a second probability to beat KC for the title, and with Kellen Moore and Saquan Barkley main his workforce, this can be his finest probability but, however that probability will not fairly be sufficient, because the transcendent Mahomes finds a strategy to win yet one more Tremendous Bowl thriller. The Kansas Metropolis Chiefs will depart New Orleans with their fourth Lombardi Trophy in six years, and the primary workforce in NFL historical past to “Three-Peat”.
