Breaking down the matchups, key players and the winner of the 2023 Super Bowl between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2023 Super Bowl, including start time, location, TV channel, streaming options and the halftime show.The addition of versatile safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who also plays in the slot, has helped improve the Eagles secondary dramatically this season.
If you’re listing the most dangerous red-zone threats in NFL history, Travis Kelce has to be in the conversation. Marquez Valdes-Scantling isn’t a high-volume guy who’s going to catch a bunch of passes, but he can reel in the big one. By the end of the Bengals game, the Chiefs were without four of their top six receivers. Most are likely to return, although it’s difficult to imagine Mecole Hardman will be healthy enough to make an impact.
Philadelphia has the best offensive line in the league and that paves the way for an excellent ground game. Not many teams run on San Francisco, but the Eagles did. The tight ends block well too. Running back Miles Sanders had a career year, and understudy Kenny Gainwell has rounded into a reliable back who plays well in big games. Boston Scott is one of those do-everything backs who won’t blow you away but can get the necessary yards.
High marks for the Philadelphia pass offense this season, although it hasn’t been as good since Hurts suffered a shoulder injury. Hurts missed some throws against San Francisco, including A.J. Brown deep. The two weeks of rest should help. With Brown, DeVonta Smith and tight end Dallas Goedert, the Eagles have a receiving trio that’s as good or better than any in the NFL.
Other than kicker Jake Elliott, special teams have been a weak spot for the Eagles all season. They made mistakes that really would have mattered had they not been so dominant otherwise — two fake punts converted against them, blocked kicks, long runbacks, dumb penalties... That seems to have improved of late, except a miserable performance in the NFC championship game by new punter Brett Kern. The Eagles could be getting Arryn Siposs back, however.
