Two Well-Prepared Teams Fashion a Great Super Bowl

The NFL was lucky to have two well-coached, well-prepared football teams playing in the Super Bowl.

Patrick Mahomes is the 21st century's model QB. He had help. He had more help than Jalen Hurts. That was the difference.

Not sure why Hurts was the main source of rushing yardage for the Eagles. I think Hurts essentially being the Eagles Offense, a.k.a the Superman effect, played into the Chiefs gameplan. 

The Chiefs had to stop the run. They did reasonably well. They had to run the ball. Pacheco helped Mahomes with that. Hurts, for whatever reason, had no Pacheco helping him. It was all on Hurts. He delivered but it wasn't going to beat the Chiefs.

The Eagles may get hit in Free Agency. I wouldn't worry about it. They seem to excel in getting good players. From the outside looking in, losing Miles Sanders could hurt the most. The Eagles need some contribution from the running backs to take the Trophy. Hurts shouldn't be the leading rusher.

I know it looks good. It isn't good.

Losing the Super Bowl isn't a big deal anymore. The Eagles are a bonafide Super Bowl Contender. It wouldn't surprise me if they won one or two with Nick Sirianni.

Sirianni, to my mind, WAS NFL COACH OF THE YEAR. Hands down. No contest. 

Maybe a rematch next year. 

Unless the Commanders . . .
