The Eagles will face the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57
Of course, KC Head Coach Andy Reid will be among the lead storylines in this year’s Super Bowl. Reid coached the Eagles from 1999-2012 where he led the opposition Eagles to six division titles, five NFC Championship games and even one appearance in Super XXX1X. He has guided Kansas City to a Super Bowl victory in 2019 against the San Francisco 49rs. Now he has a chance to win his second Super Bowl with Kansas City against his old team. Quite a story indeed.
The Chiefs finished 14-3 in the regular season and defeated the Bengals 23-20 in the AFC championship game, which avenged last season's loss in the same round. Kansas City is making its fifth Super Bowl appearance – and its third in the last four seasons.
Patrick Mahomes III, a strong candidate to win his second NFL MVP award, played through a high-ankle sprain. Tight end Travis Kelce also played through back spasms. The Chiefs' primary playmakers will have two weeks to rest and heal and field the best team possible. The defense, led by Chris Jones, made the plays at the right time this season.
Philadelphia, which finished 14-3 in the regular season, is making its fourth Super Bowl appearance in franchise history. The Eagles beat San Francisco 31-7 in the NFC championship game, and now second-year coach Nick Sirianni has a chance to lead Philadelphia to its second Super Bowl championship.
Jalen Hurts, who suffered a shoulder injury in Week 15, rushed for three TDs in two playoff victories, and the Eagles rode a balanced offense to this Super Bowl appearance. Hassan Reddick, who has 3.5 sacks in the postseason, leads a nasty pass rush that totaled 70 sacks in the regular season. On paper this looks like it’s going to be a good one. Will the Eagles win their second Super Bowl in six seasons? Or will the Chiefs win the "Reid Bowl?"
