Please let this happen.

Philly is 4 deep at CB and this will help TK and the WRs

They'll be looking for the corn dog, and andy will shove his hot dog right up their ass instead.

Just thinking about what Sean Payton said about KC having "a significant advantage in the kicking game". Has anyone pulled up any stats? Would be interesting to see how Philly has done in that department because Payton seemed convinced.

Also wondering what Pat we'll see on Sunday.

1. The first SB he started ok. Ran in the TD, big throw down the side to Watkins and got 10 points first half. Had a rough third quarter and early fourth which resulted in two interceptions but then went off late to win it.

2. 2nd SB he had a toe injury and his line was a mess. Still made some incredible plays that just wasn't caught. Again two picks thrown in that game.

3. 3rd SB vs the Eagles. Carrying a high ankle sprain. He had his cleanest game with three td's and no turnovers. Plus did well scrambling.

4. 4th SB again rough first half. Threw a pick but steadied himself and came on strong late.

Would love to see a vintage Pat performance from srart to finish. Let's see a continuation of what he did in the Bills game please. And even take it up a level.

I really think that the X factor is going to be Hollywood Brown for this game.

Hardly any film on him. All those close games during the season we won wouldn't have been so close. We would have torched some teams on the way to the number one seed. Games were only close because we lost Rice for the season and Hollywood Brown till the playoffs.

Hollywood Brown is going to open up this offense up.

Special teams have been a key part of every Chiefs Super Bowl run. Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is 77% of field goals this year including 1/7 from 50+ yards.

Eagles are 14th is special teams DVOA via @FTNFantasy and 15th in special teams grades via @PFF

1. Eagles kicker Jake Elliott is 77% on field goals this year including 1/7 from 50+ yards. Eagles are 14th in special teams DVOA.

2. Jalen Hurts has been bad when pressured this season. Out of 37 QBs when pressured he is #37 in success rate.

3. Saquon Barkley has piled up meaningless rushing yards against bad defenses. 1,529 of it came in 9 games against defenses that ranked in the bottom 10 against the run. In the other 10 games, he averaged 92 yards.

4. The Eagles run defense can be had. The Rams were running all over them. Additionally, their defensive tackles have very poor PFF grades. I look for Reid to exploit them on the ground the same way he did Buffalo.

5. The sickness running through their locker room is a huge X-Factor, considering they are already way more banged up than KC. This could make a big difference in the fourth quarter.

6. CJ Gardner-Johnson can be had. He allowed 8 TDs this year, in only 37 targets against. The Chiefs will attempt to isolate and exploit him.

This is all good stuff.

Personally, I think if we win first downs we will screw their offense up big time. They’ll still run some on 2nd and long but disrupting first down is always key to getting teams off their game plan. They press because they know they have to go up multiple scores (and they also know even that isn’t the sure thing it is with other teams). Play tough on first down, make them question what to do on second down, and tear their hearts out on third down.
