Also I saw an Eagles OL that was giving Jalen a ton of time to find open guys. He made a couple of good quick throws as his WRs(who can beat press) got separation.
So yes, I would say this SB is a great reminder that the trenches, which does include OL play are key building blocks for a good roster.
Before this game, fans on here were raving about Mahomo's offensive line and his "Pro Bowl" center and guards.
What happened is Vic Fangio schemed the coverages effectively against Reid's route combinations, and Stat Paddy Mahomo resorted to running around like a headless chicken in response.
I'm still not sure why KC decided to keep Thuney at LT when the talent of that Eagles DL was more inside.
Pressure and coverage will always lead to great results. Hard thing to produce on the field tho, kudos to the Eagles for getting it done. Also didn't hurt that KC played one of their sloppiest games in the postseason since I can remember. Key drops, bad and ill timed penalties...wish they saved some of that for our games.
