This will mark the second time in two years that the Eagles and Chiefs meet in the Super Bowl. Kansas City emerged victorious in their previous encounter, defeating Philadelphia 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII. The Eagles, still haunted by their 10-point halftime lead that slipped away, are determined to rewrite the script this time around.
Kansas City is on the brink of making NFL history as the first team to achieve a three-peat, winning three consecutive Super Bowls.
As 1.5-point underdogs, Philadelphia will rely on standout performances from Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley to pull off an upset. “You have to feel much better about Vic Fangio’s defense going up against Mahomes than Jonathan Gannon’s,” analysts say.
