In this special episode of Football 301, Nate Tice and Matt Harmon join you live to break down the Philadelphia Eagles' dominant Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Nate and Matt discuss what went wrong for Kansas City and what made Philadelphia's roster construction and game plan so effective. The guys break down every key moment, from the Chiefs' offensive line woes to the Eagles' defensive line getting after Patrick Mahomes all game long.While the Chiefs couldn't seem to get anything going on offense, with Rashee Rice missing and Travis Kelce struggling in both receiving and blocking, Matt and Nate pinpoint what went wrong. The Chiefs were constantly pressured by the Eagles' four-man rush, and even though the Chiefs' defense hung in there, giving up 40 points was too much to overcome. Nate explains the missed opportunities, like DeAndre Hopkins' crucial drop and what the Chiefs will need to address in the offseason—like bolstering their offensive line and adding more talent to their receiver corps. For the first time in years, the future looks shaky for Kansas City.But this episode isn't just about the Chiefs' struggles; the Eagles also deserve plenty of credit. From Nick Sirianni's leadership to Howie Roseman's masterful roster construction, Matt and Nate give praise to the Eagles for building a team that was built to win big. Whether it's Josh Sweat dominating up front or Cooper DeJean stepping up in big moments, the Eagles' commitment to their unique team-building strategy paid off.

Jason Fitz of Inside Coverage, Gerald McCoy of McCoy & Van Noy and Nate Tice of Football 301 link up for a very special NFL roundtable ahead of Super Bowl LIX live from the Toyota Land Cruiser set at Super Bowl LIX. They share insight into how high level athletes prepare for the biggest games of their lives. The guys also discuss how to stop Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and what Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo have in store for Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley.(2:05) What's it like to prepare for a big game as a player?(13:34) How can the Eagles stop Patrick Mahomes?(24:22) Can Steve Spagnuolo stop Saquon Barkley?(35:32) What makes Andy Reid so dangerous after a bye week?(40:55) Can the Eagles attack the vulnerabilities on the Chiefs O-line?

Nate Tice, Charles McDonald, and Matt Harmon come to you from the Toyota Land Cruiser set at Super Bowl LIX to give their final thoughts and analysis on the ultimate matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. The guys kick things off with some banter about Charles' run-in with a New Orleans Saints fan Uber driver before diving deep into the key matchups of the big game.As the guys analyze both sides of the ball, the conversation turns to the Chiefs' offense and their methodical style of play. One of the biggest battles to watch will be the Chiefs' offensive line trying to hold up against the Eagles' ferocious defensive line. The Chiefs have weaknesses on both sides of the ball, and the offensive line's ability to protect Patrick Mahomes may be the defining factor in this game. The run game, led by Isiah Pacheco, is a “snoozer matchup," as Matt has little confidence in KC's ability to pop any big runs.Switching to the Eagles' side of the ball, the guys dive into how Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley will look to exploit the Chiefs' defense. While Kansas City is good at stopping explosive runs, Saquon's ability to break off big gains adds a layer of intrigue to the matchup. The Eagles' offensive line, perhaps the most imposing group in the league, will aim to dominate in the trenches. However, the key to this game could be the play of the Chiefs' secondary—especially with standout cornerback Trent McDuffie facing a tall task against Philly's wide receiver duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. After all the analysis, the crew wraps up by giving their final predictions for the game.Later, Nate and Charles are joined by Washington Commanders rookie phenom Jayden Daniels to break down his outstanding season, the finer details of Kliff Kingsbury's offense, building the ultimate receiver out of guys he's played with and more.(2:25) - Chiefs offense vs. Eagles defense(14:55) - Eagles offense vs. Chiefs defense(29:20) - Jayden Daniels joins the show!Subscribe to Football 301 on your favorite podcast app:
