How can the Eagles beat the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII? Doug Farrar has four things Philly must do to take the Lombardi Trophy home.
We did not really expect this at the end of their 2021 season, when they were thumped, 31-15, by the Buccaneers in the wild-card round, but the Eagles come into Super Bowl LVII having fully earned their place in this game as the NFL’s most complete team on both sides of the ball. General manager Howie Roseman has done an amazing job in filling the roster holes, the coaching staffs have been great in putting all those assets in the right places, and Jalen Hurts has answered the franchise’s most important question by becoming the franchise quarterback everybody hoped he could be.
As effective and as explosive as the Chiefs can be at any given point in time — and the Eagles will have to counter that in all kinds of ways — it’s also true that Philly just has more paths to victory in this game. This doesn’t automatically give the Eagles the second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history, because their opponent has an estimable cadre of skill players, and there are ways in which the Chiefs can pull off what seems like a bit on an upset.

Super Bowl LVII: 4 things the Chiefs must do to beat the Eagles
Here are four things the Eagles will have to do to a greater or lesser degree if they’re to finish their season with the NFL’s greatest prize.

One of the most head-scratching decisions to this day was the Chargers’ decision not to re-sign Kyzir White.
One of the most head-scratching decisions to this day was the Chargers not re-signing linebacker Kyzir White last offseason.
White was one of the most impactful players in the blue and gold last season, yet he never got a contract extension offer.
“I was mad because I wanted to come back,” White said, per Los Angeles Times’ Jeff Miller. “I didn’t want to go anywhere else. I wanted to finish my career there, be there for 10-plus years.”
Los Angeles always had a talented player in White, who was drafted in the fourth round in 2018. However, he rarely got to show his talents throughout the most of his time with the Bolts.
Whether it was due to injuries that limited him in the early years or because his role was never deciphered in Gus Bradley’s defense, White was always lost in the shuffle.
Then in Brandon Staley’s system, which perfectly catered to his strengths as a player, White was nothing less than dominant every week.
With his combination of play speed, burst, and instincts to react quickly, White was an integral piece on defense against the run, in coverage, and as a blitzer.
White finished with 144 tackles, seven for loss, three passes defended, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, and a sack.
Linebacker is not a premium position in Staley’s defense, which could explain why White never was offered to come back. Instead, he settled on a one-year, $3 million deal with the Eagles.
White took his talents to Philadelphia, appearing in 17 games, finishing with 110 tackles, seven passes defended, three tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
White’s contributions helped the Eagles get to Super Bowl LVII, where they will take on the Chiefs this Sunday.
“I’m here on the biggest stage,” White said. “So I can’t really be that mad, right?”
Who are the players capable of playing their best in the biggest games of their lives? Here are the Secret Superstars of Super Bowl LVII.
There are players in just about every Super Bowl who, quite unexpectedly, save their greatest performances for the biggest games of their lives. Packers receiver Max McGee tearing up the Chiefs’ esteemed secondary for seven catches, 138 yards, and two touchdowns in Super Bowl I. Jets running back Matt Snell doing what nobody else could do in Super Bowl III, and tearing through the Colts’ defensive line for 30 carries, 138 yards, and a touchdown. Raiders linebacker Rob Martin picking off three Ron Jaworski passes in Super Bowl XV. Doug Williams resuscitating his career and becoming the first Black quarterback to start in a Super Bowl, win a Super Bowl, and become Super Bowl MVP in one fell swoop in Super Bowl XXII against the Broncos. Eagles quarterback Nick Foles helping his team win its first Super Bowl in LII.
Who could be the Secret Superstar of Super Bowl LVII? There are several candidates who, based on their in-season exploits, might be perfectly primed to take that all-important leap.
Here are the Secret Superstars of Super Bowl LVII.
