Here are the key matchups between the Eagles and the Chiefs that will determine who wins Sunday's Super Bowl in Glendale, Ariz.
This is the fourth Super Bowl as a head coach for the man known as “Big Red.” He lost the big game with the Eagles after the 2004 season, and he won it once with the Chiefs, getting to the Super Bowl in three of the past four years. Hurts, in just his third NFL season, has gone 16-1 as a starter, but the right shoulder injury that kept him out of two games late in the year has not fully healed. Chiefs punter Tommy Townsend made his first Pro Bowl in his third season in Kansas City, leading the league with a net punting average of 45.6 yards. He was with the Eagles for 14 years, and just completed his 10th season with the Chiefs. Kadarius Toney, acquired in a trade with the Giants, hurt his ankle against the Bengals, and his status is (what else?) up in the air. The Chiefs were second in the league with 55 sacks, led by Chris Jones with 15.5. The Chiefs this season were 24th in the league in rushing attempts, with just 24.5 per game, and that is a big reason they were 20th in the NFL in rushing offense, averaging 115.9 yards per game. The Eagles might have the best cornerback tandem in the game in Darius Slay and James Bradberry, helping them allow a league-low 179.8 passing yards per game. Mahomes is the best player in the NFL and the 2022 Most Valuable Player. There was never a time when the Chiefs were viewed as anything other than the top contender in the AFC. They led the league with an incredible 70 sacks and have eight more in their two playoff victories. As the 2022 regular season progressed, the Eagles made it clear they were the dominant team in the NFC.

It was the Seahawks that everyone expected to win the Super Bowl. He was 23 years and 127 days old when he started Super Bowl XIX. Roethlisberger is now 40 years old and has since retired from the sport. Hailing from Ohio, he only retired in 2021 after a long and rewarding career. For once, that is not actually the case. He is the youngest quarterback to win a Super Bowl but the youngest to start a Super Bowl game is Miami Dolphins legend Dan Marino.

Super Bowl LVII is a game of one-on-one. As in, the Eagles, the No. 1 seed in the NFC, facing the Chiefs, the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
“I just always remember thinking of coach Reid in that moment because he gave me a good blueprint of what to do when you have to do the tough parts of this job.” The Chiefs traded one of the most explosive players in the NFL during the offseason when they shipped speedster Tyreek Hill to the Dolphins. The Chiefs will have to protect him to win this game. The Chiefs finished with the No. The Chiefs have retooled their line since then and have a pair of second-team All-Pros in left guard Joe Thuney and center Creed Humphrey. They’ve done a hell of a job all year long and their quarterback is one of the best also. “They’re probably one of the best offensive lines in the game today. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes won his second MVP award this week and Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts finished second in the voting. They lost the Super Bowl two years ago to the Buccaneers when Patrick Mahomes was running for his life all game. The Kelces and their mother, Donna, have been the stars of Super Bowl week. 1 seed in the NFC, facing the Chiefs, the No. ](https://nypost.com/2023/02/12/breaking-down-eagles-vs-chiefs-super-bowl-matchups/)They both have the same record (16-3).
The all-star cast of players in the trenches should decide the Super Bowl champion. Sure, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts will make their share of plays.
Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo is a two-time Super Bowl champion who has a history of shutting down top offenses in the Super Bowl. Sirianni is 25-12 in two seasons as a head coach, including 2-1 in the playoffs. Brown and DeVonta Smith are among the top tandems in the NFL and tight end Dallas Goedert is underrated. Philly’s linebackers and safeties is a mismatch that the Chiefs will look to exploit. They’ve protected Hurts, paved the way for running backs and imposed their will on defenses throughout the season. They’ve had success running, built big leads and kept it on the ground to chew the clock. Cornerbacks James Bradberry and Darius Slay are among the top duos in the league so they’ll make it difficult for Mahomes to connect often with his receivers. The Chiefs had the league’s 20th-ranked run offense mostly because Mahomes led the NFL in passing. The Eagles outscored the Giants and 49ers by a combined margin of 69-14. The Kansas City Chiefs (16-3) know what it’s like to face a fearsome pass rush in the Super Bowl. Rookie seventh-round pick Isiah Pacheco had 830 yards rushing in the regular season and 95 against Jacksonville but only 26 in the AFC title game. The Philadelphia Eagles (16-3) reached this point mainly because of a dominant offensive line that allowed Hurts to thrive.
Naysayers claim the Philadelphia Eagles don't deserve to be at Super Bowl LVII, but the Kansas City Chiefs are staying quiet on this front.
Unfortunately, there is one team, and fanbase, who aren’t talking trash to the Eagles – the Chiefs. This is all well and good, but defense and strategy are part of the game too and the 49ers, evidently, haven’t done a good job of protecting their quarterbacks this season. – the players are too talented. But San Francisco, who already had their top two quarterbacks out with injury, suffered injuries to both Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson – and without a third QB Purdy had to come back in, but couldn’t throw. “Everybody wonders why the Philadelphia Eagles’ fans aren’t the nicest fans. “Everybody wonders why we’re so mean,” Kelce ranted, beautifully, referring to Philadelphia fans’ reputation as, well, the Millwall of the NFL and their lack of success over the years.
Chiefs or Eagles? Just like in Vegas, there's no overwhelming favorite among our staff.
