Couple early thoughts on the big game:
-Chiefs O-line vs Philly D-line: It's well documented that Philly has an insane pash rush, our offensive line is well equipped to handle most pass rushing attacks across the NFL but they will again be put up to the test. I expect a couple sacks and Mahomes to be pressured but hopefully Andy has learned from the SB against the Bucs on how to scheme his protection better if the o-line is having difficulty early on.
-Philly's O vs Chiefs D: Philly's offense somewhat feels similar to the Lamar Jackson MVP season. Vaunted rushing attack where you have to be responsible for the QB on early downs, if you commit too much to the run they'll burn you with their weapons. Where I think the Eagles differentiate from the Ravens offenses of the past is that they have premier talent on the outside with AJ Brown & Devonta Smith. I feel good about Spags having a good game plan in place to slow down the rushing attack since he's seen similar offenses in the AFC. Chiefs need to force Hurts to beat them through the air.
I honestly think the Eagles roster top to bottom is a little bit more talented than the Chiefs but Patrick Mahomes is the great equalizer. I think it's noteworthy also that Hurts on the biggest stage in NCAA had maybe his worst performance ever and was pulled at half. For those who don't remember he was pulled at halftime vs Georgia in the Natty. Experience isn't everything but Mahomes, Reid and company have been here before and the last time they were on this stage they were embarrassed badly. Experience isn't everything but Hurts and Sirianni will need to navigate the bright lights as it's their first rodeo.
To me everything points to an extremely competitive and close Super Bowl.
