The Philadelphia Eagles won a Super Bowl with backup Nick Foles at quarterback. Getting a second Vince Lombardi Trophy with Jalen Hurts behind center should be easy by comparison.
Of course, the math behind a Philadelphia world championship isn’t quite as simple. The Eagles ran roughshod over the NFC, then demolished two overmatched opponents to earn their spot in the 2023 Super Bowl and open as a slight favorite in Glendale, Arizona. Beating the Kansas City Chiefs, however, won’t be as easy.
The Chiefs will bring 2022’s presumptive MVP Patrick Mahomes to battle as well as one of the league’s most effective pass rushes. The Eagles will counter with Hurts and defense that led the lead in sacks by a significant margin. So how can Philadelphia get the most out of their advantages and repel another Kansas City Super Bowl win?
These three important themes will play a major role.
