NFL: Why Tremendous Bowl revenge appears lengthy shot for Kansas Metropolis Chiefs in opposition to Philadelphia Eagles


It is week two of the NFL season and after two thrilling video games received by the Buffalo Payments and Pittsburgh Steelers final week, we now have a Tremendous Bowl rematch. The NFL simply is aware of how you can create these match-ups.

The Kansas Metropolis Chiefs host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and that is going to be very fascinating as a result of it is undoubtedly a revenge recreation. The Eagles beat the Chiefs 40-22 within the Tremendous Bowl and nullified them until late within the third quarter.

I believe the most important distinction between the 2 groups is their roster. You have a look at the Eagles, they’ve Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, AJ Brown. You may hold itemizing all these nice gamers, and I simply do not know who the Chiefs have any extra. It is Patrick Mahomes… then what’s that supporting solid?

Rashee Rice is suspended for his or her first six video games and Xavier Worthy suffered a shoulder harm as he and Travis Kelce bumped into one another in final week’s defeat by the Los Angeles Chargers in Brazil.

That leaves Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster as the primary receivers, which places lots of stress on as a result of the Chiefs’ run recreation has not been terrific in any respect.

The Chargers recreation was very a lot the Mahomes present. At one level, he had extra carries than anyone else on the sphere. He put his physique on the road a number of occasions – these hits add up, and you do not wish to see your celebrity quarterback risking his well being so early within the season.

Mahomes had six scrambles and the Chiefs solely ran it 11 different occasions. Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt mixed for 41 yards with 10 of these carries, and that is simply not sustainable.

After the Eagles, the Chiefs face the New York Giants after which the Baltimore Ravens so, realistically, they may have a 1-3 file after 4 weeks.

Baltimore is a large recreation and with the Ravens shedding to the Payments final week, they will have so much to show as properly, to point out that they wish to be on prime.

The Eagles have a troublesome run defence, and the Giants have a very good defence too, so I believe that will probably be telling, to see how the Chiefs are in a position to run the ball. These two video games stacked collectively, the Chiefs nearly have to consider how they’re going to put together themselves to make sure they’re firing on all cylinders for the Ravens.

Final 12 months, the Chiefs received so many one-score video games, and they will need to be significantly better to do this once more. They might be out for revenge in opposition to the Eagles however I do not assume they’ve it in them… but.

Rashee Rice is a large a part of their offensive scheme and, with out Worthy, they haven’t any deep menace both so, I hate to say it, however I actually wrestle to see what they will be capable of do. I do not see what their solutions are proper now.

Within the low season, the Chiefs misplaced Joe Thuney, who was large for them on defence, however they did draft a left sort out within the first spherical, Josh Simmons, to assist shield Mahomes extra, and introduced in one other offensive sort out in Jaylon Moore, so they’re doing the fitting issues to create energy on the offensive line.

They should as a result of the AFC West is the hardest it has been in a very long time – none of it’s given this 12 months. The Chargers beat the Chiefs, the Las Vegas Raiders have gotten higher and Bo Nix has solely obtained stronger with the Denver Broncos.

I nonetheless assume the Chiefs will make the play-offs but when they keep on like this, I’d be involved.
