Super Bowl LIX preview: A first look at Chiefs-Eagles rematch

Two years ago, Philadelphia Eagles and Heads of Kansas They made a great offer at Super Bowl Lvii in Glendale, ARIZ. They met for a distance of 750 yards of the attack and eight landing, and this was not even determined by a field goal eight seconds before the end of the match.

It was exciting and exciting. It was distinguished by big plays and great performances for some of the best American Football Association players.

It was so good, in fact, to the point that they decided to do it again.

The return match will take place in Super Paul Lexus On February 9 in SuperDome in New Orleans (6:30 pm Eastern time on FOX) when NFC Champion Eagles faces the AFC champion – and twice winners of the Super Bowl – Chief. The coaches and midfielders are still as they were two years ago, and they still include many of the same players.

But there is no doubt that many have changed in both teams, and this may be a completely different match. The last time they participated in the offensive fire exchange.

This time they can end up in a more defensive game.

This is because none of the two teams was built for the same type of offensive explosion that he was able to do two years ago. The eagles may actually be closer to the tyrant they were at the time, but they are not the same type of attack. They are almost revolving around running, supported by their latest stars, running back Sacon Barclay. His semi -record season with 2005 Yardat led to their operation throughout the year and turned them into the most dangerous team in the league.

As a result, they depend much more on Barclay than they depend on the midfielder Gallin hurtsWho was MVP candidate two years ago. Hurt Sunday showed that he is still able to play big matchesThrowing a distance of 248 yards, landing, and running for three landing in a 55-23 victory over Washington leaders In NFC. But at least, at least, the eagles are now the Barclay team.

This does not necessarily make them less dangerous. But it makes it less explosive at times.

Meanwhile, the heads of Qurtbbeck Patrick Maqoum He was the best player in two years when the Chevings team defeated Eagles in the tournament, but he was not even a professional player this season when he threw 3928 yards and 26 declines with only 11 objections. Kansas City was more dependent on the first ten defense – which, by the way, was particularly strong against the race throughout the season. This is what kept them in almost every match they played, almost all of them reached the end.

In fact, The Chiefs 12 played one score this season, prompting many to believe that they may be at risk at the end. But they still win it all, including their dramatic victory 32-29 Pavalo Bells Sunday evening in the Asian Championship match.

MAHomes has played one of his best matches this season against Bills, where he threw 245 yards, fell and ran for a distance of 43 yards and landing. But Chifz’s defense is still called to keep winning in the fourth quarter and maintaining the dangerous midfielder in Boufalo Josh Allen Mostly under observation, by shortening only 237 yards and 39 yards a rush.

Even if this defense finds a way to close Barkley and the Eagles in Super Bowl Lix, leaders may still need more, because MAHomes will have to find a way to penetrate the defense number 1 in the US Football Association. Eagles do not boast the same historical rush that they had two years ago when they had 70 bags in the normal season. But they are a better defense with a better scheme and better attackers. They have become dangerous in causing coups, such as the four who imposed on Sunday against leaders who are usually sure.

It will not be easy for the eagles within two weeks, of course. The Chiefs team is the same basic group that has participated in seven consecutive matches in the AFC Championship and five Super Bulls in the past six seasons, and won three of them so far. They are motivated by their attempt to become the first team in the history of the American Football Association to win the Super Bowl title for three consecutive years.

Eagles had the opportunity to stop this race before it started two years ago when they faced leaders at Super Bowl Lvii, thanks to the great performance of Hurts. The midfielder in Al -Nisour threw a distance of 304 yards, fell and ran for a distance of 70 yards and three landing. It took a 27 -year -long field goal Harrison Potker In the last seconds, the leaders avoid extra time and run away with a victory 38-35.

But the defenses retreated in that match. Both crimes were practically unable.

These leaders and eagles have not been built this season, so it seems difficult to visualize the penalty shootout again. This time, the Super Bowl Championship may be limited to the best defense, and any of the coaches and midfielders who have been tested in the battle can find a way to penetrate it.
