Super Bowl LVII: Philadelphia Eagles Keys to Victory

The Philadelphia Eagles once again find themselves featuring in the biggest game on the NFL calendar. 

Super Bowl LVII will see the Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs in what should be a thrilling encounter. 

Both teams contain electric offenses with quarterbacks who can make something out of nothing, but will the Eagles be lifting the Vince Lombardi trophy come Sunday night? 

DAZN takes a look at how the Eagles can win a second Super Bowl title below. 

Jalen Hurts needs to hurt the Chiefs defence in the air

The Eagles will come up against a very different defence come gametime. 

Unlike the NFC Championship game against the 49ers, the Eagles will not be able to rely on the run game.

Instead, quarterback Jalen Hurts will have to utilise his throwing ability against a vulnerable Chiefs pass defence. 

Allowing 33 passing TDs saw the Chiefs ranked last in the NFL for the number of passing TDs allowed this season, and with a heavy reliance on rookies in the secondary, Hurts can cause some real damage if he has time in the pocket to find his receivers. 

Keep the Chiefs offense on the sideline

If there is one way for the Eagles to limit the Chiefs' offensive, that's by keeping Patrick Mahomes and co. on the sideline. 

In order to do this, Jalen Hurts and his Eagles offense will need to keep the ball for as long as possible, running down the clock and creating a sense of panic amongst the Chiefs if the scoring windows to keep up with the NFC champions are quickly closing. 

Take Kelce out of the game

Chiefs tight-end Travis Kelce has played a crucial role in his team's playoffs success this season. 

Catching 21 passes for 178 yards and 3 TDs across the divisional playoff and conference championship games, it's clear that Kelce is a vital cog in the Chiefs offensive machine. 

His performance during the divisional playoff game against the Jacksonville Jaguars saw him make 14 catches, breaking his own NFL record for receptions in a playoff game. 

The Eagles will need to make sure the 33-year-old cannot replicate a similar performance if they want to be victorious in Arizona.
