Super Bowl LVII: Andy Reid can bolster legacy by securing second ... (NFL.com)

What would winning a second Super Bowl with the Chiefs -- against the Eagles franchise he previously led to prominent playoff success -- mean for Andy ...

It is true that there are many similarities between Reid this week, ahead of his third Super Bowl with Kansas City, and the Reid who brought the Chiefs to Miami three years ago. He is not thinking of anything but winning the game. "But he's one of these guys that the desire to win the next one is even more intense. Going to 10 conference championship games, with the chance to win a second Super Bowl -- on Sunday or in a coming season -- already puts Reid in the conversation of being among the best coaches in history. Reid is now fifth on the all-time wins list as a head coach (268), and he is second in all-time playoff wins (21), trailing only Belichick (31). [won his second MVP award](https://www.nfl.com/news/chiefs-qb-patrick-mahomes-wins-second-ap-nfl-most-valuable-player-award), the Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl despite losing [Tyreek Hill](https://www.nfl.com/players/tyreek-hill/) and they incorporated some young players on defense this season. Nothing can be assured in the NFL, but Mahomes is only 27 and just "I think there is massive relief in Andy that he was not just getting close but actually had the thrill of holding the trophy," said Joe Banner, the Eagles former president, who served in that role for much of Reid's time in Philadelphia. In the post Belichick-Brady era, Reid leads the team that is the closest thing to a dynasty the NFL has. When his longtime friend, NFL Network analyst and former NFL head coach Steve Mariucci (who was on the same staff as Reid in Green Bay in the 1990s), mentions those figures to Reid, he is often unaware of them. And they predict that there is more where the outside-the-box plays came from, that Reid is almost certainly setting up something that is still to come, another iteration of a play design from his fertile mind. Reid, who led the Eagles from 1999 through 2012 and has been with the Chiefs since 2013, is the only coach to take two teams to four straight conference championship games, a monumental accomplishment on its own.

Chiefs vs. Eagles live updates: What time is the Super Bowl ... (The Athletic)

The NFL season comes to a close Sunday with the Eagles and Chiefs facing off in Super Bowl LVII at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

The game will be televised nationally on FOX. Just as the Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are finalizing game plans, playmakers on both sides are wondering what shenanigans to pull on football’s biggest stage. These days, the players are free to show off their creativity as well — within reason, of course. And then, just seconds before the snap, Smith-Schuster will decide on his touchdown celebration. With the Eagles in the Super Bowl and Hurts as their starting quarterback, a player accustomed to the spotlight (he reached three national championships in college and was a Heisman Trophy finalist) is set to explode to a different level of public fame. The KC offense led the NFL in pass plays of at least 25 yards with 49 (11 more than the Eagles, who finished second). They are 6-3 straight up as underdogs, with two of the defeats in 2018 and the other against Buffalo in Week 6 this season. The road to the Super Bowl ended with Gardner Minshew taking a knee in the NFC Championship Game. If you don’t count the preseason, it all started with a Kyzir White tackle for loss on a Jared Goff completion to D’Andre Swift in Week 1. And so, Sunday’s duel will serve as a reminder of the arduous, painful and at times bleak journey endured by Mahomes’ and Hurts’ forefathers. Their third-and-long conversion rate (42.9% percent, including the playoffs) is best in the NFL this year and the best for Kansas City in the Patrick Mahomes era. One Sunday back in late October, Steve Spagnuolo made a pilgrimage to one of his favorite bars, a corner spot at the corner of 11th Street and McKean in the heart of South Philadelphia.

Breaking down Eagles vs. Chiefs Super Bowl matchups (New York Post)

Here are the key matchups between the Eagles and the Chiefs that will determine who wins Sunday's Super Bowl in Glendale, Ariz.

This is the fourth Super Bowl as a head coach for the man known as “Big Red.” He lost the big game with the Eagles after the 2004 season, and he won it once with the Chiefs, getting to the Super Bowl in three of the past four years. Hurts, in just his third NFL season, has gone 16-1 as a starter, but the right shoulder injury that kept him out of two games late in the year has not fully healed. Chiefs punter Tommy Townsend made his first Pro Bowl in his third season in Kansas City, leading the league with a net punting average of 45.6 yards. He was with the Eagles for 14 years, and just completed his 10th season with the Chiefs. Kadarius Toney, acquired in a trade with the Giants, hurt his ankle against the Bengals, and his status is (what else?) up in the air. The Chiefs were second in the league with 55 sacks, led by Chris Jones with 15.5. The Chiefs this season were 24th in the league in rushing attempts, with just 24.5 per game, and that is a big reason they were 20th in the NFL in rushing offense, averaging 115.9 yards per game. The Eagles might have the best cornerback tandem in the game in Darius Slay and James Bradberry, helping them allow a league-low 179.8 passing yards per game. Mahomes is the best player in the NFL and the 2022 Most Valuable Player. There was never a time when the Chiefs were viewed as anything other than the top contender in the AFC. They led the league with an incredible 70 sacks and have eight more in their two playoff victories. As the 2022 regular season progressed, the Eagles made it clear they were the dominant team in the NFC.

If Kansas City walks away with a Super Bowl win and Mahomes tallies over 250 passing yards to go with a couple of passing touchdowns, it’s hard to argue against his name being the favorite for the MVP hardware. Heading into Super Bowl 57, Mahomes has a chance to add another piece of hardware to his trophy case if he can lead the Chiefs to a win. Fifteen of those have gone to either a running back or wide receiver, leaving a majority having been handed out to quarterbacks.
