Daily News | Eagles beat writers weigh in on the Super Bowl LVII matchup with the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes
In the Eagles-Chiefs matchup a year ago, the Kansas City offense scored touchdowns on five of their six possessions, aside from Patrick Mahomes kneeling out the end of the game on the final series. The only drive that didn’t end in the end zone occurred on the opening drive of the third quarter when Mahomes tossed an interception to — checks stat sheet — Eric Wilson. Wilson, who would be released a month later, intercepted the best quarterback of his generation. Amazing.
Fortunately for the Eagles, the complexion of their defense has changed quite drastically since the Mahomes show rolled through the Linc last season. The group’s secondary is more versatile, the linebackers more capable and, perhaps most importantly, the pass rush more fearsome. On the other side of the ball, the Eagles will likely need an excellent game from Jalen Hurts to hoist the Lombardi Trophy. This has the makings of a shootout, and the Chiefs defense has been solid this season. The group is good at limiting explosive passes and its pass rush led by Chris Jones and Frank Clark will keep the Eagles’ offensive line occupied.
