Dominant defense, Jalen Hurts lifts Eagles to a 40-22 win over Chiefs in Super Bowl 59

Dominant defense, Jalen Hurts lifts Eagles to a 40-22 win over Chiefs in Super Bowl 59

In what can only be described as a beatdown, the Eagles exacted revenge on the Chiefs, winning Super Bowl LIX in dominant fashion, 40-22.

Vic Fangio’s No. 1 ranked defense held Kansas City to 275 yards of total offense and 3-11 on third downs, with Patrick Mahomes getting sacked six times on the night. Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts was 17 of 22 passing for 221 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, and a 119.7 passer rating.

Kansas City scored 16 fourth-quarter points, but it was too late as the Eagles jumped out to a 34-6 lead in the third quarter and bullied the Chiefs throughout the contest. In what can only be described as a team win, the Eagles won despite Saquon Barkley getting held to 57 yards on 25 carries.

Jalen Hurts led the Eagles with a Super Bowl record of 11 carries for 72 yards and one rushing touchdown.

With Barkley shut down, DeVonta Smith had four catches for 69 yards (17.3 avg) and one touchdown.  A.J. Brown had three catches for 43 yards and a touchdown.

Look: Bradley Cooper narrates Eagles hype video for Super Bowl LIX matchup vs. Chiefs

The Philadelphia Eagles released this hype video narrated by actor Bradley Cooper ahead of Sunday’s #SuperBowl matchup vs. the Kansas City Chiefs

The countdown has begun, and the Eagles and Chiefs are a little over 28 hours away from kickoff at Caesars Superdome on Sunday night.

Bradley Cooper is one of the biggest Eagles fans, so it makes sense that the famed actor would contribute to the Super Bowl LIX hype video after doing the same two years ago. 

Cooper narrates the video that focuses on winning “coming down to this moment,” which is the biggest game of Jalen Hurts’s career.

Philadelphia earned its second Super Bowl appearance in three seasons after posting a franchise-record-tying 14-3 record and a postseason run that featured three straight victories at home, including a 55-23 win against Washington in the NFC Championship Game (most points scored in a conference championship game in NFL history).

For only the second time, two Black quarterbacks will face off on the NFL’s biggest stage. Hurts and Mahomes were the first two in Super Bowl 57. Since 2022, Jalen Hurts has been 42-12 (including the playoffs) as a starting quarterback, just behind Patrick Mahomes (48-10).

C.J. Gardner-Johnson was hilarious while mic’d up at Super Bowl LIX Opening Night

Philadelphia Eagles star safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was hilarious while mic’d up at Super Bowl LIX Opening Night

C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s departure is the mistake that Howie Roseman corrected. The boisterous defensive back will have the most pivotal role as we approach Super Bowl LIX, which is a little over 52 hours away.

Gardner-Johnson returned to Philadelphia after one year in Detroit. He re-energized the Eagles’ defense and stabilized Vic Fangio’s backend. The former Florida Gators defensive back is also a rapper and content creator in his off-time.

With Super Bowl opening night being the a ‘Movie’, it was only right that a mic’d up Gardner-Johnson got to direct the show.

Gardner-Johnson tied for the 3rd-most interceptions (career-high-tying 6) in the league, trailing only Kerby Joseph (9) and Xavier McKinney (8). According to PFF, he is 3rd among NFL safeties with nine forced incompletions, behind Brian Branch (12) and Ar’Darius Washington (10).

Chiefs get much-welcomed addition to WR room before Week 16 matchup against Texans

Marquise “Hollywood” Brown is set to make his 2024 NFL debut on Saturday against the Houston Texans.

Lights. Camera. End zone.

That’s what Marquise “Hollywood” Brown will be targeting in Week 16’s matchup against the Houston Texans.

The Kansas City Chiefs have activated Bronw off the injured reverse ahead of Saturday’s contest at Arrowhead Stadium. Barring any setbacks, the veteran receiver will make his 2024 debut against the AFC South Champions.

Brown, who signed a one-year deal in the offseason with Kansas City, hasn’t since suffering a sternoclavicular injury on the first play of the first preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had surgery and was in rehab before returning to practice for the first time last week.

The former first-round pick returned to practice earlier this week and has been a full participant in drills. On Thursday, the Chiefs took Brown off the injury report.

“He got out there, and he was rolling around,” quarterback Patrick Mahomes told reporters. “I think more than anything, it’s him getting back in football shape. I mean, it’s just different than training and stuff like that. And then him being able to feel confident enough to go out there and take hits, which he’s been cleared to do.”

In his final season with the Arizona Cardinals, Brown caught 51 passes for 574 yards and four touchdowns.  His best season came for the Baltimore Ravens in 2021 when he caught 91 passes for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns.

Kickoff is scheduled for noon CT. The game will be nationally televised on NBC.

Will WR Hollywood Brown make his Chiefs debut vs. Texans?

A star could be making his debut against the Houston Texans on Saturday afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium.

Hollywood vs. Houston is coming to a television near you.

Well that, or you’ll see it live at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday when the Houston Texans travel north to take on the Kansas City Chiefs.

Marquise “Hollywood” Brown, Kansas City’s star acquisition pass-catcher from the offseason, appears likely to make his 2024 debut against the AFC South champions.

Three months after suffering an injured shoulder in the preseason that required surgery, Brown returned to practice Friday and has been a full-go the past two days.

“He felt good,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said Tuesday when asked about Brown. “He felt good, moved around well, took quite a few reps.”

Kansas City has an ample passing arsenal after trading for former Texans All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins earlier this fall.  Brown, who signed a one-year deal this offseason, was expected to be among the elites as a new top target for Patrick Mahomes.

But during a preseason against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Brown dislocated the sternoclavicular (SC) joint, which connects the sternum to the clavicle at the base of the neck. It required immediate surgery and a trip to the injured reserve.

Reid said the team would “play it by ear” before deciding if Brown would be cleared. He’s been added to the active roster after taking the place of former starting running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, so there’s a chance he’ll be cleared before kickoff.

Patrick Mahomes, who’s been dealing with an ankle injury, has come away impressed in the limited time together back.

“He got out there, and he was rolling around,” Mahomes told reporters. “I think more than anything, it’s him getting back in football shape. I mean, it’s just different than training and stuff like that. And then him being able to feel confident enough to go out there and take hits, which he’s been cleared to do.”
Kickoff is set for noon. The game will be nationally televised on NBC.

Fantasy football: Where to draft Kansas City Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown

Analyzing Kansas City Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown’s 2024 fantasy football ADP and where to target him in fantasy drafts.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Marquise “Hollywood” Brown signed a 1-year deal worth $7 million with the back-to-back defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs in the offseason. Brown spent the last 2 seasons with Arizona after playing his first 3 seasons with Baltimore, the team that drafted him in the 1st round (25th overall) of the 2019 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma.

Below, we look at Hollywood Brown’s 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

After having his worst statistical season since his rookie campaign last year, Brown is expected to get back to his 1,000-receiving-yard self now that he’ll be catching passes from QB Patrick Mahomes. Brown is expected to be a dynamic piece in the Kansas City offense that desperately needed receivers.

Hollywood Brown’s ADP: 117.16

(ADP data courtesy of MyFantasyLeague.com; last updated at time of this publishing – ADPs continually change as more drafts occur)

Brown’s 117.16 ADP in redraft leagues puts him in the range of the 10th (12-team league) to 15th round (8-team league). His ADP ranks 7th on the Chiefs. RB Isiah Pacheco (22.47) is 1st, followed by Mahomes (26.38), TE Travis Kelce (29.10), WR Rashee Rice (61.82), WR Xavier Worthy (79.65) TE Jared Wiley (113.64).

Among all wideout, Brown’s ADP puts him 51st at the position, just behind Buffalo’s Khalil Shakir (116.28), Las Vegas’ Jakobi Meyers (109.81) and Detroit’s Jameson Williams (107.43). Brown is just head of the Chargers’ Josh Palmer (119.46), Green Bay’s Romeo Doubs (121.21) and San Francisco rookie Ricky Pearsall (122.48).

Where should you draft Brown?

Brown’s fantasy value should get a hefty boost from playing alongside Mahomes, but the fact that he has to share targets with Rice, Worthy, Kelce and Pacheco hurts his value a bit.

Brown will still be a fantastic deep threat alongside Worthy as both have blazing speed, but Mahomes will more than likely still prefer Rice and Kelce in underneath routes.

There is no clear WR1 on the Chiefs yet, so Brown does have a pretty high ceiling fantasy wise, especially if he can take the top off of defenses because we all know how much Mahomes loves to throw the deep ball.

A big concern with Brown is that he suffered a chest injury in a preseason game that will have sideline him for the first few weeks of the season. So, be aware of that.

I’m not sold on Brown being a bad fantasy pick. In fact, I like him as a depth WR or FLEX option, especially in bigger leagues. Brown will have some single-digit fantasy games no doubt, but in this Chiefs offense, he is also bound to make some explosive plays that raise his fantasy value.

Sorting through all that is the Kansas City Chiefs receiving corps

Making fantasy football sense of this deep but unsettled cast of wideouts.

One of the more remarkable aspects of the Kansas City Chiefs winning back-to-back Super Bowls is that the team hasn’t had a wide receiver reach the 1,000-yard mark since they traded Tyreek Hill to the Miami Dolphins before the 2022 season. That year, JuJu Smith-Schuster, now with the New England Patriots, led the club with 933; last year it was Rashee Rice (938). Beyond that, only current Buffalo Bills WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling has even topped 500 yards the past two years.

Kansas City’s struggles at the position haven’t been from a lack of effort as they’ve used premium picks on Rice, Skyy Moore, and Xavier Worthy, signed veteran free agents (Smith-Schuster and Marquise Brown), and traded for Kadarius Toney and Mecole Hardman. On paper, this year’s group looks the best it has since Hill was traded with a deep mix of talent around quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

What does that mean for fantasy owners? Let’s dive in.
