Super Bowl 2025: Where Kansas City Chiefs Against Philadelphia Eagles will be won and lost

Take care of the Mahomes runner

The Eagles defense will swarm all over Mahomes, but they must be careful not to get too aggressive and let him twist because he is a deadly scrambler in play-offs.

Mahomes is not very fast, but he is quick and what makes him dangerous is that on broken, his telepathy with tight end is Kelce so good that defenders never know if he will try an ambitious throw or save and run.

He proved the difference against Buffalo Bills, with two rushing touchdowns and ran in seven first downs in Play-offs to keep drives alive.

Although he threw three touchdowns against Philadelphia in their former Super Bowl meeting, his late 26 -yard -scramble was crucial to Chiefs who won -and it was on a bad ankle.

The battle of the defensive monsters

The big names of offense get all the headlines, but there are two defensive big animals playing in the Super Bowl on each defensive line that could decide this game.

Kansas City’s Chris Jones and Philadelphia’s Jalen Carter can both ruin a game anywhere along the defense line, and while they may not have gaudy bag numbers, they often show up for great moments and exert a story of opposing quarterbacks.

In particular, Jones attracts double team double teams that can make room for others – but in the end one of these two players fighting in the trenches can have the narrative defensive game of the game.
