Chiefs Offensive Line Ready for the Challenge
The Philadelphia Eagles’ worst fears regarding the Kansas City Chiefs are coming true. Welcome to this edition of the Chiefs Report. I’m Tyler Jones, bringing you coverage from day three of Super Bowl week here in New Orleans at the Chat Sports New Orleans Oasis.
Today, we have exclusive interviews with key Chiefs players, including Creed Humphrey, Derrick Nnadi, and Jaden Hicks, as they share insights on the upcoming matchup against the Eagles.
Starting with the offensive line, Creed Humphrey spoke with us about the unit’s current state heading into Sunday’s game. The Chiefs’ offensive line has faced challenges throughout the 2024 season and postseason. The shift of Joe Thuney from left guard to left tackle has helped, but the run game remains inconsistent.
Earlier today, we also spoke with Danan Hughes from the Chiefs Radio Network, who believes the run game struggles stem from both the offensive line and the running backs. However, Humphrey remains confident that the extra preparation during the bye week has put the Chiefs in a strong position to establish the run against Philadelphia.
Here’s what Creed Humphrey had to say:
On being back at the Super Bowl: “It’s great. You never take these opportunities for granted. It’s so hard to get here, so we’re just having fun, enjoying the moment, and staying focused on football.”
On the offensive line’s challenges and progress: “I’m proud of how the guys have played and approached each week. We’ve stepped up our game over the past few weeks, and I think we’re ready for Sunday.”
On protecting Patrick Mahomes: “It’s great. We have a great relationship, and over the past four years, we’ve gotten really close. It’s a lot of fun playing with a guy like that and making history together.”
On the Eagles’ defense: “They have talent across the board, both up front and in the secondary. Coach Fangio is a great defensive coordinator, so it’s going to be a fun challenge.”
The Chiefs’ Playoff Experience and the Impact of Derrick Nnadi
The Chiefs are no strangers to the Super Bowl, seeking their third straight title. While Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, Chris Jones, and Travis Kelce receive much of the spotlight, Derrick Nnadi has been an unsung hero. Nnadi ranks fourth all-time in Chiefs playoff wins and has remained committed to the team despite opportunities to leave for more money.
Nnadi’s veteran presence has been instrumental in guiding younger players, particularly the 2022 draft class, which has yet to lose a playoff game. We spoke with him about his experiences and leadership.
On being back at the Super Bowl: “It’s amazing. Honestly, it never gets old.”
On past Super Bowl memories: “The 2019 win still stands out the most. Our mindset was just to stay cool and relaxed, no matter the situation.”
On mentoring younger players: “I tell them to take it all in but stay focused on why we’re here. It’s fun to be in the Super Bowl, but we still have a job to do.”
Jaden Hicks’ First Super Bowl Experience
Rookie Jaden Hicks has had a strong season and is embracing the biggest game of his career. Despite the high stakes, he is treating this like any other game.
On preparing for the Eagles: “They have a strong run game, and Jalen Hurts knows how to get the ball to his playmakers. But we’re ready to stop all that.”
Chiefs’ Confidence and Game Plan
One key factor heading into the Super Bowl is that Andy Reid is the best coach in NFL history when coming off a bye week. The Chiefs installed their game plan before arriving in New Orleans, and their focus is evident.
This team is confident but not cocky, locked in on the task ahead. With no major injuries and a veteran roster that understands the moment, this may be the best shape the Chiefs have been in all season.
Final Thoughts and Fan Poll
