Inside the Battle: Which Unexpected Matchup Could Make or Break the Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl Showdown?
But it’s still important for McDuffie to be a factor. Kansas City’s secondary overall ranks 21st in defensive EVE against the pass, 25th in pass success rate allowed and 14th in passing yards allowed per play. Taking away either Brown or Smith on any given play limits Hurts’ options and gives the Chiefs defensive line ample time to disrupt the Eagles at or behind the line of scrimmage.
Alternatively, Brown and Smith have game-breaking ability. Brown particularly made huge plays in the first half of the NFC championship game. His 31-yard catch on fourth down in the second quarter eventually set up a Hurts’ rushing score before Brown himself caught a touchdown before halftime.
