Defense Won This Championship

While my prediction of RB Saquon Barkley breaking the Super Bowl rushing record didn’t come close to happening. The Eagles defense suffocated Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and didn’t allow them to score until 34 seconds left in the 3rd quarter. This Super Bowl was over at halftime and the final score is deceptive to that fact.

Two years ago we saw the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles play each other in Super Bowl LVII (57) in Glendale, Arizona. It was a high scoring affair as both quarterbacks put on a clinic from the air and on the ground by rushing the ball as well. There are some new faces for both teams that were instrumental in them getting to the Super Bowl this year. The head coaches are the same for both teams as they were two years ago. This time it will be a bit different as the Chiefs are looking to become the first team in the Super Bowl era to win three straight championships. The last time it happened was the Green Bay Packers from 1965-67 who won the last NFL Championship and the first two Super Bowls. This is Philadelphia’s fifth Super Bowl appearance and they will be vying for their second title in franchise history. Can they prevent history from being made by defeating the Kansas City Chiefs this time around? Let’s see how this one will play itself out.
