Inside the Battle: Which Unexpected Matchup Could Make or Break the Chiefs vs. Eagles Super Bowl Showdown?
Now, Steve Spagnuolo’s unit won’t just need to account for Hurts’ legs. Barkley has been nearly unstoppable this season with an NFL-leading 2,005 yards and 13 touchdowns in the regular season to go along with 442 yards and five touchdowns in his three playoff games.
Kansas City’s run defense is no slouch, though. The Chiefs rank third in the NFL in EVE (efficiency vs. expected) against the run and the team’s 3.8 yards allowed per rush are the third fewest in the NFL.
KC played fairly well against the three other teams with a better run success rate than Philadelphia this year, too, in the Baltimore Ravens, Atlanta Falcons and Buffalo Bills (twice).
