Is the National Football League the greatest reality show or what!?
Last week, we had the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills, two teams considered the best in the league, play one for the ages with Josh Allen and company coming back from double-digits in the fourth quarter to pull out a one-point win, 41-40.
This week, we have another matchup with all the promise of being a barnburner when the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles invade Arrowhead Stadium to battle the team they pulled the rug out from under last February in Super Bowl LIX. In that game, I suspect you recall, the Kansas City Chiefs were looking to become the first team in history to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy three years in a row. Instead, they got their asses kicked by Jalen Hurts and his high scoring Eagles, 40-22.
Last season’s Super Bowl was not as close as the final score. The Chiefs scored two late touchdowns and added a pair of two-point conversions to shift a 40-6 fourth quarter deficit to a final score that looks somewhat better in the history books. Let it just be said that the Chiefs were embarrassed by the Eagles last February and on Sunday get a shot at revenge on their home field.
Easy?
For who?
