Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl deep dive & predictions plus Jayden Daniels joins! | Football 301
Nate Tice, Charles McDonald, and Matt Harmon come to you from the Toyota Land Cruiser set at Super Bowl LIX to give their final thoughts and analysis on the ultimate matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. The guys kick things off with some banter about Charles' run-in with a New Orleans Saints fan Uber driver before diving deep into the key matchups of the big game.As the guys analyze both sides of the ball, the conversation turns to the Chiefs' offense and their methodical style of play. One of the biggest battles to watch will be the Chiefs' offensive line trying to hold up against the Eagles' ferocious defensive line. The Chiefs have weaknesses on both sides of the ball, and the offensive line's ability to protect Patrick Mahomes may be the defining factor in this game. The run game, led by Isiah Pacheco, is a “snoozer matchup," as Matt has little confidence in KC's ability to pop any big runs.Switching to the Eagles’ side of the ball, the guys dive into how Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley will look to exploit the Chiefs' defense. While Kansas City is good at stopping explosive runs, Saquon’s ability to break off big gains adds a layer of intrigue to the matchup. The Eagles’ offensive line, perhaps the most imposing group in the league, will aim to dominate in the trenches. However, the key to this game could be the play of the Chiefs' secondary—especially with standout cornerback Trent McDuffie facing a tall task against Philly’s wide receiver duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. After all the analysis, the crew wraps up by giving their final predictions for the game.Later, Nate and Charles are joined by Washington Commanders rookie phenom Jayden Daniels to break down his outstanding season, the finer details of Kliff Kingsbury's offense, building the ultimate receiver out of guys he's played with and more.(2:25) - Chiefs offense vs. Eagles defense(14:55) - Eagles offense vs. Chiefs defense(29:20) - Jayden Daniels joins the show!Subscribe to Football 301 on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/46gILkF🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3A4mYAD 📢Yahoo Sports podcast network: https://apple.co/3zEuT

How much control does Tom Brady really have in the building, and could that change in the coming years?As the episode wraps, the team shifts gears to discuss the looming Super Bowl matchup. Frank points to the Philadelphia Eagles’ laser focus as a sign they’re treating this game like a business trip, while Charles notes the Kansas City Chiefs’ seemingly casual attitude could come back to haunt them.(2:10) - Cooper Kupp trade talks/best landing spots(10:25) - Will the Browns actually trade Myles Garrett?(26:00) - Why the Saints are taking a big risk with Kellen Moore(40:05) - Raiders hire Chip Kelly(52:45) - Early Super Bowl thoughtsSubscribe to Inside Coverage on your favorite podcast app: 🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3AbfhJc🎧 Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3ymFp3f 📢Yahoo Sports podcast network: https://apple.co/3zEuT ❤️ Inside Coverage would be nothing without the impact of our beloved Terez Paylor, who was a pillar of Yahoo Sports' NFL editorial and podcast coverage.
