WINNER - KANSAS CITY CHIEFS
We’ve got the 59th Super Bowl ahead of us in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Favourites Kansas City Chiefs will square off with the Philadelphia Eagles for all of the glory. If the Chiefs win they will write NFL and SuperBowl history. The Eagles would do anything to prevent the Chiefs from winning their third straight.
Number 26 of the Eagles is the best running back in the NFL. Barkley’s season has been on a historical level. The 27 year old became the 9th player ever to rush over 2000 yards in a season. The first one to ever do it was OJ Simpson. Barkley’s first season with the Philadelphia Eagles have been nothing less than a huge success to this point. If they win in New Orleans the success is on a level beyond huge. It would be a monumental success. The New York Giants didn’t want to re-sign Barkley last season. That has been a true blessing for the Eagles. The QB & RB combo of Jalen Hurts and Saquoun Barkley has been amazing this season for Philadelphia.
No matter what happens in SuperBowl 59, The Chiefs must make life as difficult as possible for Saquon Barkley. To be able to impact him would go far for Kansas City. It’s definitely one of the main keys for The Chiefs to win the game at the end of the day. To stop Barkley is close to impossible, but if you can slow him down a but you’ve done something well. The best way to do that is to force negative plays on first downs. Which of course it’s easier said than done. The Chiefs would have to crowd the line of scrimmage with a lot of bodies.
If you want to take a look at a winner, take a good look at Patrick Mahomes. It seems like Mahomes has some kind of god given ability to always come out of close games. We have seen that over and over again during the season. The Chiefs is a team that relies heavily on their defence and the pure genius that Patrick Mahomes is. Not to forget the tactical wizard that the head coach of the Chiefs, Andy Reid, is. Mahomes always plays at his highest level in the postseason. He had two touchdown passes in the divisional finals.
The Philadelphia Eagles have a great defence and the defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio, deserves his flowers. They have been performing on a high level the whole season. The Chiefs must avoid turning the ball over. The Eagles are top notch in forcing turnovers. There is a minor thing to worry about, though. Fangio has faced the Chiefs on seven occasions as a defensive coordinator and never won.
