Which Super Bowl LIX Matchup Will Surprise Neutral Fans the Most?
It would be best, for most of the viewing public, if the Bills could finally beat the Chiefs in the playoffs and take the AFC’s spot in New Orleans. Josh Allen has the hard-to-pin-down feeling of being the next elite quarterback whose Super Bowl win is inevitable but hasn’t quite happened yet. Most right-thinking people would rather Allen get a shot at glory than watch a fifth Patrick Mahomes Super Bowl appearance.
The matchups in an Eagles-Bills game would be neat. The Eagles defense prefers to stay light around the line of scrimmage with a 43% heavy box rate in the regular season – seventh lowest in the NFL. (That’s how often the defense outnumbers the offense between the tackles near the line.) But to stop the human battering ram Allen and his friends, defenses have loaded up the box against the Bills all season: Buffalo faced a 50.9% heavy box rate – the eighth highest – as teams geared up for Allen keepers.
