SUPER BOWL
The Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles once again meet in the Super Bowl. This time, a little bit more than the Lombardi Trophy is on the line in New Orleans.
Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Andy Reid and the rest of the Chiefs squad will stare down NFL history when they take the field in the Caesars Superdome: No team has ever won three consecutive Super Bowls, something that Kansas City will achieve with a win.
The Chiefs certainly have the squad with which to do it. Despite questions over its ugly regular-season wins, Kansas City finished 15-2 and bounced chief rival Buffalo in the AFC championship game en route to its fifth Super Bowl appearance in six years. Whether it’s their high-powered defense or that trademark Mahomes magic, the Chiefs have found ways to finish the job all season.
The Eagles are looking for something themselves: Revenge for their Super Bowl 57 loss to Kansas City. This time around, Philadelphia is a more well-rounded team, thanks in no small part to running back Saquon Barkley. Barkley has been stellar in Eagles green, dominating on the ground in his first year in the City of Brotherly Love.
It doesn’t stop with Barkley, however. Philadelphia’s star-studded squad, featuring Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and others, is perhaps the most talented team that Kansas City has faced in the Super Bowl. That all means this matchup has the makings of an NFL classic.
