What if I informed you that the subsequent events would occur in the Super Bowl? Not merely some of these items, or the majority of these items, but every one of these items:
For just the third occasion this season, Saquon Barkley’s rushing yards combined with the Eagles’ score would total fewer than 100.
For just the fourth time this season, Saquon Barkley would finish with fewer than 100 yards from scrimmage.
The sole player exceeding 100 receiving yards would be a Chief.
Xavier Worthy would achieve two touchdown scores.
Kenny Pickett would play for several drives and attempt conversions on fourth down.
The Eagles would fail to convert any fourth downs.
Travis Kelce would surpass Dallas Goedert.
Patrick Mahomes would pass for a greater number of touchdowns and yards compared to Jalen Hurts.
Quinyon Mitchell would be scored upon.
The Chiefs would limit Saquon Barkley to 2.3 yards per attempt.
Dallas Goedert would finish with only 27 yards.
AJ Brown would accumulate only 43 yards.
AJ Brown and Nick Sirianni would chat back and forth on the sideline.
Jalen Hurts would pass for only 221 yards, marking his 8th highest total this season.
The Eagles would incur more penalties compared to the Chiefs.
The Eagles managed to convert only 25% of their third downs.
This is a list of components for an awful, embarrassing, what-the-hell-did-I-just-see defeat. And it truly was. For the Kansas City Chiefs.
It felt unreal. The Super Bowl was anticipated to be a tight match. Conversely, the Eagles dismantled the Chiefs; the game was essentially decided by halftime, and in a manner we wouldn’t have anticipated. 24 points for the Eagles versus 23 yards for the Chiefs? Leave.
It felt like a dream. The Super Bowl was anticipated to be a tight match. Instead, the Eagles overwhelmed the Chiefs; this was decided by halftime, and in a manner that took us by surprise. 24 points for the Eagles compared to 23 yards for the Chiefs? Leave.
And that merely enhances its sweetness. The team from 2017 transformed lives. Always the Eagles were champions of the Super Bowl. It is said that each title is unique, and this one was. It provided a different type of satisfaction. For the players, a redemption following a painful defeat two years prior. For us supporters, witnessing them dominate a team that was close to establishing a solid case for the greatest dynasty in football felt surreal and bizarre. Oh, the top team in the league appeared on Sunday. They donned green.
