Eagles/Chiefs In 57th Supe

After the Philadelphia Eagles (bet -1 to -3) ripped the S.F. 49ers (31-7), the Chiefs edged the Cincy Bengals (23-20), thus yielding an (K.C. coach) Andy Reid vs his former team, Super Bowl.

Philly is now (4-4) in NFC title games and the team is (1-2) in previous Super Bowls.

K.C. (2-2) in previous Supes was involved in a 5th straight home title tilt, an 8th such in Reid’s 10 title tilts. (His teams are (4-6) in title tilts, (4-4) at home. His teams are (1-2) in Supes, (0-1) with the Eagles.

Har Butker’s field goal with 3 seconds to play lifted K.C. by 3, the same margin, by which they were OT’d by Cincy in last year’s AFC Title Game.

Miles Sanders had two touchdown runs for Philadelphia.

Ed Podolak is pictured above. I choose to cite Podolak’s great game, albeit in defeat in slot 2 on Christmas Day in 1971.

His kick return had K.C. set up to win, but a great kicker Jan Stenerud missed.

Yesterday Skyy Moore’s 29 yard punt return helped set up Harrison Butker’s game winning field, severely aided and abetted by another call that rung out a hard luck Bengals franchise. Enough said for now!!
