It’s official!
Championship Sunday is over and the match-up for Super Bowl LVII is set. This year, it’ll be the Kansas City Chiefs versus the Philadelphia Eagles. Having followed every week of the NFL since pre-season back in August, I can’t say I’m too surprised. I can also formally apologize for my pre-season predictions. I was off in terms of who I thought would make it to the Super Bowl, but not by much.
Many of the teams I picked did make the playoffs. Some were huge disappointments. See the Denver Broncos. But by record and by ranking, the Chiefs and the Eagles were the best teams in the NFL.
Patrick Mahomes was the best quarterback by most measures.
Jalen Hurts was the most dynamic in terms of running an offense.
The Eagles had a great defense that kept games close and allowed the offense to work.
The Chiefs didn’t need much defense because their offense was such a powerhouse.
Neither of these teams played one another at any point in the season. Both also had their ups and downs throughout the year. The Chiefs lost to the Bills in the regular season early on. And the Eagles suffered a major upset against Washington on a Monday Night game. But in football, it’s not how you start the season. It’s how you finish.
Both teams finished strong.
Both earned a right to compete for a championship.
Now, they’ll get their chance on February 12, 2023.
I think I speak for all NFL fans and football fans in general when I am so ready!
