About this episode

<p>Five months ago, we were all looking at a schedule of 285 NFL games, including the playoffs. More importantly, we on The Athletic Football Show were staring at 22 weekly preview episodes. Now, we're down to one on both counts. It's the Eagles and Chiefs for the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl LVII. How will the teams go after one another? Where are they strong, and where are they vulnerable. Who will win the game? Robert Mays and Nate Tice break it all down in detail on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.</p><p>Follow Robert on Twitter: <a href="https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/ac68194a-f6db-11ea-a6b3-4f85e866207a/podcasts/ed351cc2-fe90-11ea-a42d-dbc18f0a2629/episodes/a5412d28-06f1-11ed-950a-03d77e66f349/twitter.com/robertmays">@robertmays</a></p><p>Follow Nate on Twitter: <a href="https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/ac68194a-f6db-11ea-a6b3-4f85e866207a/podcasts/ed351cc2-fe90-11ea-a42d-dbc18f0a2629/episodes/1e5aad94-1f46-11ed-97f2-77ed19c1e4ed/twitter.com/Nate_Tice">@Nate_Tice</a></p><p>Subscribe to The Athletic Football Show...</p><p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-athletic-football-show-a-show-about-the-nfl/id1528622068">Apple</a></p><p><a href="https://spoti.fi/3waggUU">Spotify</a></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6gWjMSDj7-8j3iCc2ZGo3g">YouTube</a></p><p>Today's episode is brought to you by...</p><p>Atlassian: For projects impossible alone, visit <a href="https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/ac68194a-f6db-11ea-a6b3-4f85e866207a/podcasts/ed351cc2-fe90-11ea-a42d-dbc18f0a2629/episodes/fceab0dc-3840-11ed-8cf7-4b412af03405/www.atlassian.com">www.atlassian.com</a></p><p>Peloton: Try Peloton risk free with a 30-Day Home Trial, New Members only at <a href="http://onepeloton.com/home-trial">onepeloton.com/home-trial</a></p><p>Burrow: Show Burrow you’re listening to The Athletic Football Show by shopping at <a href="http://burrow.com/mays">burrow.com/mays</a> and get 10% off your first order</p><p>Allbirds: Discover your perfect pair of Wool Runners at <a href="http://allbirds.com/">Allbirds.com</a> today</p><p>Blue Nile: Find the perfect piece of jewelry for life’s special moments and save up to 50% now at <a href="http://bluenile.com/">bluenile.com</a></p><p>Better Help: Visit <a href="https://cms.megaphone.fm/organizations/ac68194a-f6db-11ea-a6b3-4f85e866207a/podcasts/ed351cc2-fe90-11ea-a42d-dbc18f0a2629/episodes/fbd1a04c-2487-11ed-8404-cf689eaf498e/BetterHelp.com/mays">BetterHelp.com/mays</a> today to get 10% off your first month</p><p>3:08 The narrative aspects of the matchup</p><p>6:08 The growth of the Eagles over the last 18 months</p><p>10:28 Jalen Hurts' progress</p><p>13:38 This Chiefs offense vs. previous Chiefs offenses</p><p>18:58 Patrick Mahomes' legacy</p><p>24:23 When the Eagles have the ball...</p><p>56:33 When the Chiefs have the ball...</p><p>81:39 X-factors</p><p>85:14 Who wins Super Bowl LVII?</p><p> </p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
