In this specialSaturday vs. Sunday Super Bowl reaction episode, Jeff Dover and John Barban dissect one of the most shocking final games in recent history. What was expected to be a thrilling showdown turned into aone-sided beatdown, as the Philadelphia Eagles dismantled the Kansas City Chiefs in every phase of the game.

Right from the opening snap, the Eagles’defensive line controlled the game. Kansas City’s offense, which had been a juggernaut all season, looked completely unrecognizable. Mahomes was under siege all night, sackedsix times, picked offtwice, and unable to establish any rhythm. Dover and Barban discuss how the Chiefsabandoned the run game early, forcing Mahomes intoa predictable, one-dimensional attack that played right into Philadelphia’s hands.

The numbers tell the story:Kansas City managed just 150 total yards before garbage time, marking one of the worst offensive performances of the Mahomes era. Despite Philly’s defensive dominance, Dover and Barban acknowledge that the Chiefs’ defense wasn’t the problem—it was constantly put in bad positions due to turnovers and short fields.

While the defensive masterclass was the key to Philly’s success, the hosts also take time to appreciate Jalen Hurts’ MVP performance.Hurts threw for two touchdowns, ran for another, and delivered in the game’s biggest moments. His journey from Alabama to Oklahoma to Philadelphia has been filled with doubts, but this game cemented his status asone of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks. Barban takes listeners on a deep dive into Hurts’redemption arc, from being benched at Alabama to proving he could carry a team on football’s biggest stage.

And after a dominant showing from Philly’s defensive front, are teams like the49ers, Lions, and Bills now even more desperate to add pass-rushing firepower? Dover and Barban discuss howMiles Garrett’s trade value just skyrocketed as teams look to replicate what Philly did to Mahomes.
