New Orleans – Of course, we know that the NFL team has never won three consecutive Super Bowls. There are no 3 peats. Nine teams won the Super Bowl in a row, but have never reached the third straight set so far.
The chief is in a position to do unprecedented things. The one who was in the way on Sunday at New Orleans Super Bowl 2025 is the opponent who moved 3 Pete.
Two years ago, it was 38-35 when the Chiefs returned to defeat the Eagles. Two years later, the Eagles were back.
The victory allows the Chiefs to assert the status of the elite dynasty. This is the fifth Super Bowl appearance in the last six years, with top quarterbacks (Patrick Mahomes) and top head coach (Andy Reed) earning three Lombardi trophies and one victory from the fourth.
The Chiefs were 15-1 in a game they cared about in the regular season, but they left the starter off in the season finale, but the difference in points was just 59 points. It would be the fifth lowest by the Super Bowl champion. They went 12-0 in one score game.
The Eagles get in the way. He was led by a stunning outbreak from the addition of free agents. Saquon Barkley (Giants fans, look away here) – 2,005 rushing yards during the season, over 442 yards in three playoff wins – Birds are the team you see.
They proceeded to 14-3 and are away from the demolition of Commander 55-23 in the NFC Championship Game. Their offensive and defensive lines can dominate and often do so. In three postseason games, the Eagles have 10 takeouts and no sales. It's a winning combination.
Eagles Pass Offensive vs. Chief Spass Defense
Does Jalen hurt upwards? He was at his best in the NFC title game two weeks ago, completing 20 of 28 passes for 246 yards and one touchdown with a quarterback rating of 110.1.
The Eagles were in a disappointing 29th place in the NFL on a brutal ranking pass offense, taking into account recipients with AJ Brown, Devonta Smith and tight end Dallas Gordart. What's more, Barkley is a pass-catching option than its response.
The Chiefs are 18th in the league in pass defense, and their top cornerback L'Jarius Sneed's trade to the Titans continues to be felt. Trent McDuffy and Jalen Watson's cornerback tandem (from the injured reserve at the right time in the postseason) is fiercely challenged by Brown and Smith.
The key to the chief's holding the backend is a pass rush. This was not strong in the regular season (39 bags compared to 55 and 57 in 2022 and 2023, respectively). However, the pressure rate for the two playoff wins is rising, with DT Chris Jones being too much for one blocker to handle.
As we don't forget, the pain in the big stage two years ago was great in his first Super Bowl.

The Eagles execute the attack and Chief Slan defense
Meet Saquon Barkley and Steve Spagnuolo. This is the best one-person-versus-league run for the NFL top defensive coordinators. Berkley has transformed into a modern version of Barry Sanders without any negative runs.
He has seven touchdowns over 60 yards this season, making him the most in NFL history. He ran for 2,005 yards in the regular season and increased his pace in the playoffs incredibly. He had 442 yards in three games and five touchdowns. He needs 30 yards to pass Broncos Hall of Famer Terrell Davis for the most rushed yards of the season, including the playoffs. Berkley averages twice as much yards as other players in the league before making first contact with defensive players.
He runs behind the league's best offensive line and is pinned to elite tackles Lane Johnson and Jordan Myrata. Chiefs linebackers Nick Bolton (106 tackles), Drue Tranquill (94) and Leo Chenal (60) stick their noses as run defenders.
In addition to the headache that is Barkley, Hurts is a talented runner, with the Chiefs facing an NFL high 50 quarterback scramble during the season, allowing 7.5 yards per run.
As for Tush Push, the Chiefs defended it very much against the bill two weeks ago, but the Eagles are the master of this short yard play.

Chief Spass Offense vs Eagles Pass Defense
Every year, it appears that Patrick Mahomes is asked to do less and more. His target is not intimidating, but Skinny Xavier's worth is a legitimate speedster. He led the Chiefs with six touchdown catches this season. This is a modest number for team leaders.
Tight end Travis Kels (97 Reception) remains a weapon, but not a 35-year-old gamebreaker. Juju Smith Shuster had just 18 receptions during the season, but he grew up in the Super Bowl two years ago. Despite Mahomes' greatness, it's no wonder the Chiefs came in 14th in the league.
The Eagles strengthened in a big way secondary, adding rookie cornerbacks Quy Nhon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean to the starting lineup alongside veteran Darius Slay. The Eagles were number one in the NFL for pass defense. Mitchell and Dejan were both finalists for the Defensive Blue Key of the Year Award. Safety CJ Gardner-Johnson has made six intercepts this season.
If given time, Mahomes can be carved by anyone, and he is perfect for purchasing purchase time when pressured. The Eagles ran to the Super Bowl two seasons ago and had 70 bags, but this year's group has just 41 bags. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio does not send heat frequently with electric shocks.
In advance, the Chiefs are forced to mix and match with the offensive line, with right tackle Jawan Taylor potentially becoming an issue. He was second in the league with 14 penalties. Under Fangio, Zack Baun signing free agent will become a Pro Bowl linebacker and can get after Mahomes. Look for Dejan to get a crack by covering the Kelse. Mahomes lifts everyone up.

Chiefs execute attacks against Eagles Land Defense
Where are the chiefs without Kareem Hunt? He was not in the NFL when Isia Pacheco fell with a broken bone in the second week. Hunt, the Chiefs' third round draft pick in 2017, was recently with the Browns, and was called Andy Reed and was hit with a contract.
Hunt is a lifesaver and leads the team with 728 rushing yards and seven touchdowns. He runs hard. Still, the Chiefs attacked 22nd in the league, averaging just 105.3 yards per game.
Leading by the massive, athletic Jalen Carter, the Eagles rank 10th in the NFL, allowing just 104.2 yards per game in the regular season. After a slug-in rookie year, Carter endures his high-ranking draft status (2023 overall number 9). He leads the bird with 12 tackles.
Boun was a revelation. He was an unexplained player in four seasons with the Saints and had 151 tackles in his first season with the Eagles. The loss of linebacker Nakobe Dean (128) was tackling the patellar tendon, torn in a playoff victory over the Packers.
Hunt and Pacheco fight in every garden, but neither is about making a game. Of course, Mahomes cannot be discounted here. He slips for yards in unscripted scrambles, not designed runs, especially on the third down, not on the designed runs, and slides darts and toes.

Special team
What happened to the Eagles kicker Jake Elliot? He was once almost automatic and a top-notch long-range threat, but this season it wasn't. He went 7-7 on field goal attempts of over 50 yards in the regular season and missed 54 yards in the NFC title game.
Chiefs' Harrison Backer missed a month of the season and he is a proven big game performer. He has not missed out on his fourth quarter field goal attempts or overtime in his postseason career.
Punter Mat Alisa (Chief) and Bradenman (Eagles) are close in most statistical categories. Samaje Perine has a 56-yard kickoff return this season. Kenneth Gainwell averaged 25.3 yards on kickoff returns.

Coaching
Andy Reed has won 29 playoffs in his storied career. He is the most in NFL history, with three wins from Bill Belichick's record. This was the sixth time he's taken his team to the Super Bowl, and was tied up with Don Shura, winning only Belichick's nine Super Bowl appearances. Do you get the points we're making here?
If the Chiefs win, it will be Reid's fourth Super Bowl victory, tied second with Steelers' Chuck Knoll, following Belichick's six Super Bowl victory. His top EU, defensive leading figure, Steve Spagnulo, is the only coordinator in league history to win four Super Bowls.
Nick Cirianni created the Super Bowl at all levels in his second year, but the Eagles meltdown last season was tough for him. He flew birds and was 53-25 in the regular and postseasons.
Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is 0-8 against the Mahomes.

Intangible assets
Despite what they say on the contrary, going to the first three peats in NFL history is under pressure. The Chief could feel late in the tight game. There is also a story about the chiefs making calls at critical times. It is for the Eagles to stand up and overcome when necessary. Mahomes is already a waiting hall of fame and he is becoming one of the biggest players in league history. If he has the ball late in the near game, he is all intangible to himself. How does the Chiefs, who framed the Eagles at the Super Bowl two years ago, affect the headspace of both parties? There are a huge number of Taylor Swift fans who support her boyfriend Travis Kels and the Chiefs. So do what you do.
