Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs Set for Super Bowl Showdown
With less than a week to go until the highly anticipated Super Bowl, the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for a fierce battle. As excitement builds, Eagles general manager Howie Roseman lightheartedly admitted that the Chiefs have been occupying his thoughts.
“They’re the best of the best. …First you’ve got to think about your division, then you’ve got to think about your conference, then you’ve got to think about how you’re winning a world championship. I used to, before everything got automated, have the final four teams in my office. And I used to, some days, look and I’d go, how do we compare there? Now I think it’s like in my head, you know, the Chiefs are in my head,” Roseman joked via ESPN.
He emphasized the difficulty of building a team capable of taking down the reigning champions. “But I think you have to think about how to beat the best. It’s hard. It’s really hard, as you’re putting something together.”
Roseman’s tenure with the Eagles began when Andy Reid, now the head coach of the Chiefs, was still at the helm in Philadelphia. Despite maintaining regular contact, Roseman and Reid will not be speaking in the days leading up to the Super Bowl.
“When I’m talking to him, I’m not necessarily thinking, hey, you know, I’m thinking about this move to try to beat you finally in the Super Bowl,” Roseman said. “But obviously, they’re the standard.”
The two powerhouses will face off at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday at 5:30 p.m. CT in what promises to be an electrifying matchup.
