Super Bowl LIX is here! We’ll see the Kansas City Chiefs face the Philadelphia Eagles in the contest. The Chiefs are a quite simply a flamethrower. They were 15-2 in the season and has been undefeated in the postseason thus far. Meanwhile, for the Eagles, Saquon Barkley has had one of the best seasons for a Running Back, in the history of the league. The Eagles have simply dominated the teams they’ve faced with excellent defense and their rushing game so far.

The Chiefs are looking to three-peat this season and it has never been done before in the NFL. Whereas the Eagles, are trying to win their first Super Bowl under head coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback, Jalen Hurts’ leadership. If they win, it will only be Philadelphia’s second Super Bowl win in their franchise history.

I cover the National Football League and things cannot get better than that. I always dreamed to play football or basketball professionally since I’m built like a Running Back. But now that I can’t, since I’m technically in the “Unc” age, I thought why not pick a career in sports industry? So here I am, doing what I love, and hoping that the Commanders win the Super Bowl. I give love to players when it’s due, but can be critical about their performances at the same time. Enough about me, now let my articles do all the talking.
