Ready for a Rematch? Super Bowl LIX Will Likely Be Chiefs vs. Eagles

What a story, the back to back rematch in the Super Bowl.  The last time this happened was in 1994 when the Dallas Cowboys beat the Buffalo Bills 30-13 after losing the year before in 1993 52-17 and it looks like history might repeat itself with KC being the superior playoff team. Let’s talk about why this is likely. 

Kansas City Chiefs: The AFC Standard

Since 2018, the Chiefs have redefined postseason performances, thanks to the brilliance of the two-headed monster that is Mahomes-Reid. They are a force to be reckoned with and very dominant in the playoffs.

1. Patrick Mahomes’ Brilliance: Mahomes has always performed at his best on big stages and he simply needs to make it past the perennial choke artist, that is Josh Allen, to go on to yet another Super Bowl appearance. 

2. Deep Bench: Can we talk about the Chiefs roster?  From Pacheco (returning this week) - McKinnon RB Tandem to some guy named Travis Kelce on offense this team is stacked– oh, and there Defense steps up in playoffs, ranking #2 in 2023-24. 

3. Playoff Experience: The Chiefs’ have reached the AFC Championship every year since 2018.  Their team looks fantastic this year, and consist of proven champions that are leading them.   

Philadelphia Eagles: NFC Powerhouse

The Eagles are no slouch and have the Commanders in between them and a Super Bowl appearance.  I like the Commanders and took them last week over Detroit but let’s be honest, they are not going to stand up to the best roster in the league and arguably the best defense this year.   

1. Jalen Hurts’ Growth: Jalen is an incredible talent that seems to have only gotten better this year with improved passing numbers and a still impressive ground game.  Expect Jalen to be looking for blood in the Super Bowl this year, where he’ll meet his match (not the commanders).

2. Balanced Roster: This team is the whole package from QB, RB to Defense. There’s not a hole on this roster and they will give KC a run for it’s money on February 9th.

The Path to the Super Bowl

This may be a rematch for the record books with two fantastic teams and a newfound rivalry.  Mahomes is racking up his rivals and after this year they may be the Eagles biggest nemesis’.  Whatever happens, this game will be a spectacle among the elite QB’s in this league— Buckle up!
