The Kansas City Chiefs face a formidable challenge in their rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LVII. Saquon Barkley, acquired by the Eagles in a mid-season trade, presents a significant offensive threat, adding another dimension to their already potent attack.
MIAMI — Two years on from their three-point win over Philadelphia in the Super Bowl , the Kansas City Chiefs face a rematch with the Eagles but with a big difference this time. The added ingredient is Saquon Barkley , the explosive record-breaking Eagles running back and the biggest obstacle to the Chiefs winning an unprecedented third straight Super Bowl on Feb. 9 (Feb. 10 in Manila) at New Orleans.
\In the 2022 season finale, Philadelphia's main threat on the ground was quarterback Jalen Hurts, who put up 70 yards on 15 carries in a 38-35 defeat to the Chiefs. Hurts remains highly effective in the running game but Barkley's numbers this season are such that if the Chiefs can't neutralize him, their path to victory becomes a narrow one. Barkley ran for 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns with a 5.8-yard average in the regular season and he has continued his devastating form in the playoffs — adding 477 total yards and five touchdowns. In the NFC Championship game, the Eagles steamrollered the Washington Commanders with Barkley and Hurts rushing for three touchdowns each. \The Eagles traded with the New York Giants for Barkley — a move which has transformed their offense and leaves the Chiefs with a real challenge. 'He's a great player, potential future Hall of Famer,' Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said. 'He was tremendous at New York, he had a great year this year with the Eagles. So he has helped them, in especially the rush game, but he can catch the ball.
