Sure, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts will make their share of plays. But Sunday's game will come down to which team controls the line of scrimmage.
The Philadelphia Eagles reached this point mainly because of a dominant offensive line that allowed Hurts to thrive. He developed into an AP NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year finalist playing behind a line that features All-Pro center Jason Kelce and All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson.
They're healthy this time around and have a pair of second-team All-Pros: left guard Joe Thuney and center Creed Humphrey. Protecting Mahomes will be critical to Kansas City's success. The Eagles are five sacks away from breaking the NFL record for a season. Reddick, Brandon Graham, Josh Sweat and Javon Hargrave each had at least 10 sacks.
If they air it out, wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are among the top tandems in the NFL and tight end Dallas Goedert is underrated. The Chiefs allowed a league-high 33 passing TDs this season so it could be a big day for Hurts and his receivers.Everything starts for the Eagles on the O-line. They've protected Hurts, paved the way for running backs and imposed their will on defenses throughout the season.
