Super Bowl LVII has obvious storylines — Andy Reid vs. the Eagles, the Kelce brothers, Jalen Hurts vs. Patrick Mahomes — but many more factors will shape the result.
The bye week will allow Hurts and Mahomes to recover from ailments they have been playing through. Hurts missed two weeks late in the season with a sprained sternoclavicular joint in his right shoulder, and even after returning he has frequently declared himself less than 100 percent.Mahomes knew his ankle would be sore in the days after Sunday’s dramatic victory, but he expected the extra week of rest to allow him to return to near full strength. He will need every bit of mobility he regains.
Against the Eagles’ excellent and deep offensive line, Jones will not be able to pick out any weak links, even if star right tackle Lane Johnson and starting guard Landon Dickerson are affected by injuries. The Eagles will still need to account for Jones with two blockers on all dropbacks. Kelce is a genius at deciphering the defense and calling protections. Jones is skilled at blowing up those plans.
If Hurts has given any hint that his shoulder has affected him in the playoffs, it may be in his inability to get the ball to Brown. A dominant force all season, Brown has just 50 yards on seven catches in the playoffs. In both Eagles victories, Hurts overthrew Brown on deep passes that would have been touchdowns after Brown had scorched a defensive back. Brown should have more opportunities against the Chiefs’ inexperienced secondary.
