Opinion: Different Year, Same Results

This Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs have an unprecedented opportunity to win the Super Bowl three times in a row and I believe that they will.  The Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles face off once again, repeating the match-up of Super Bowl LVII. The viewership for this game will be off the charts as this will be a very big match up and the musicians performing are bringing in a lot of people to watch. 

Ever since superstar Taylor Swift announced her relationship with Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce, their fanbase has rapidly expanded. With them being together, we are expecting Taylor Swift to have numerous showings on the TV screen, hopefully not that many though. Previous games she has gone to, it seems she is the only thing the camera seems to go towards instead of the actual game. At Super Bowl LVII, mother of Jason Kelce, former center player for the Eagles and Travis Kelce, Donna Kelce, was present and went on the news about how having sons on different teams competing for the Super Bowl was a rare moment to experience. Although Jason is now retired, and we won’t see a rare moment in this contest, it will still be interesting to see her perspective of the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs are having their best season ever, I am expecting Coach Andy Reid to push the team the hardest to finish off their best season (they are currently 15-2) with the ultimate win. Their star quarterback Patrick Mahomes has made the most out of this season with 26 touchdown passes and by his side is Travis Kelce with 97 receptions. Although this is not their best performance, this is still relatively good. The Chiefs are a good team as a whole and whether they had a good season individually or not, they overall have better players and together they will secure this win on Sunday. The Chiefs are 15-2. Some have been very close games such as the Bengals and Chiefs game having the score being 25 to 26 or the Chargers game being 17 to 19. The players are going to have to give it their all to make the most out of Sunday’s game, which I definitely think they can.

 Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has faced numerous criticisms after the three losses that happened this season. Because of the plays that he called, he could have done better. If he called in different plays for the team, it could have positively affected how the three games turned out for them. Thankfully, he has better coordinators to hopefully pull off better plays for this Super Bowl. They are here to take their revenge after their huge loss of Super Bowl LVII.  They have good running backs like Saquon Barkley, he has brought so much to the Eagles and is known to be the greatest running back this season.  Defensive coach Vic Fangio has stepped up this season and is prepping the players to act upon whatever the Chiefs give them. The Eagles are ready for Sunday and are here to take their revenge after their huge loss of Super Bowl LVII. 

 Millions of fans are excited to hear Kendrick Lamar perform for halftime with his co-performer SZA. We are expecting a big show out for Kendrick’s performance after he got huge recognition for his single “Not Like Us” winning him five Grammys. These artists are known right now for their hit music and had very big turnouts these past few previous months. Kendrick performed as a co-performer three years ago and absolutely nailed the little amount of screentime he got. I’m excited to see what Kendrick will do with him being the main performer. SZA has never performed ever for halftime so fans are eagerly waiting to see the turn out of how she performs for this big event. I have very high expectations for this halftime show and it should be very interesting where more people watch this year because of their love for both of them. 

I think that the Chiefs are going to finish the season with a Super Bowl win, they have won two times already in a row, I believe they are pushing hard to make that three-peat and make NFL history. It is possible for the Eagles to win, Saquon Barkley is a key factor in this possible victory, as he has had nine runs of more than 50 yards, other players in the NFL have had no more than three. Even though Barkley is impressive, Kelce and Mahomes are still more powerful and reliable.
