Here’s a big advantage the Eagles have against the Chiefs in Sunday night’s Super Bowl:
Jalen Hurts operates behind the game’s best offensive line.
All-Pro center Jason Kelce.
Pro Bowler Lane Johnson.
Jordan Mailata.
Isaac Seumalo.
Landon Dickerson.
K.C.’s defense isn’t as good as San Francisco’s, and the Birds pounded the 49ers in the NFL Championship Game. The Eagles have rushed for 416 yards in two playoff games, the fourth-highest total in the past 25 years.
The other playoff teams have averaged 62% pass and 38% run. Philadelphia is averaging 37% pass and 63% run. It’s run 44 times in its two postseason games, the highest playoff total in 33 years.
A running game eats the clock, which means Patrick Mahomes will be sitting on the bench, which is the best way to beat the Chiefs.
