The Chiefs will try to become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls when they face the Eagles on Sunday in the Superdome. Mahomes lifted the Chiefs to an overtime win against the 49ers in another Super Bowl rematch last year. He went right to Kansas City after the Eagles fired him following the season and has built a dynasty thanks to Mahomes, Kelce, Chris Jones and others. We understand that.
No matter what the Chiefs say, everyone else is talking about it. You could see their communication. You could see the accountability they have, especially in the secondary.
These Eagles are different from the group that fell just short against Kansas City in Arizona two years ago. Barkley rushed for 2, yards with seven touchdowns of plus yards in the regular season and playoffs.
Losing to the Chiefs two years ago only motivated Hurts even more. Hurts, Barkley, A. Brown, DeVonta Smith and a dominant offensive line present a major challenge for Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. All-Pro linebacker Zack Baun and rookie cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean plus the emergence of defensive tackle Jalen Carter and edge rusher Nolan Smith has transformed a defensive unit that fell apart last season.
A win for Kansas City also would give Kelce his fourth ring, the same number of Grammy Awards his pop star girlfriend has won for best album. Overall, Kelce has 18 playoff wins and Swift has 14 Grammys.
