Daily News | Three reasons why the Eagles are simply better than the Chiefs, and one reason to wonder
Lane Johnson isn’t exactly sure where the infamous dog mask is. No matter, because he’s not going to need it. Five years after the Eagles won aby milking their underdog status for all that it was worth, they will now have to adjust to life as a betting favorite. As of Tuesday evening, the consensus line had the Eagles as 1.5 points favorites over the Chiefs in next Sunday’s Super Bowl, with the majority of the public money coming in on the good guys.
1. Super Bowls are won in the trenches, and the Eagles are playing better up front than any team in recent memory. The biggest matchup of this Super Bowl might be Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones against the interior of the Eagles’ offensive line. Apart from Aaron Donald, Jones might have the strongest case as the best defensive tackle in the league. Eagles fans should be plenty familiar with how much havoc one mismatch can wreak. Whether or not Landon Dickerson ends up playing after suffering a hyperextended elbow in the NFC championship, Jones is the one guy who could turn this matchup on its head.
The play was jarring because you haven’t seen many of them this season from the Eagles. Of their 19 turnovers in the regular season, 11 of them came in three games, four of them with Gardner Minshew under center. This postseason, the Eagles have run 139 plays without turning the ball over. That might not sound like a crazy accomplishment, but no team has ever won a Super Bowl without turning the ball over at least once in the playoffs.
