If you’re not hyped already for this match, check your pulse. There are a mind boggling number of storylines for the Chiefs/Eagles game next week. Here’s a few of them:

  • Super Bowl 57 rematch. Chiefs obviously won the championship, but you can bet this is the most furiously circled game on the Eagles’ calendar.

  • Both teams arrive to this game hot. Eagles are 8-1 and are atop the NFC. Chiefs are 7-2 and atop the AFC. Both teams will remain #1 in their conference by game time. The two top teams in each conference facing off this late in the regular season is exceedingly rare.

  • Eagles will smell blood in the water seeing the Chiefs’ offense not look like the juggernaut that beat them in the Super Bowl. If there’s a time for the Chiefs to finally put it all together this season, it’s now.

  • Kelce Bowl rematch. The two most famous brothers in NFL history outside of Peyton and Eli Manning clash after both catapulting in fame over the last year. Their podcast this week will be pure hype.

  • Bonus: Possible Taylor appearance. Travis Kelce’s new girlfriend Taylor Swift may fly directly from her tour to catch the game. Her childhood team was the Eagles so watching her cheer on their demise might prove traumatizing for Philly.

    It has the narratives but in terms of impact on the season, not much.
