“You got two great teams playing each other. So, it’s hard to predict,” said Andy Reid about the Super Bowl LIX. That’s exactly the situation. While the Chiefs overcame a tough matchup against the Bills, winning barely by 32-29. The Eagles supercharged their performance, defeating the Commanders 55-23. This year, there’s a lot of emotion going into the big game.

In 2022, the Chiefs beat the Eagles 38-35 to start their Super Bowl campaign. It was 8 seconds left on the clock. The score was tied at 35-35 in the Super Bowl LVII. Harrison Butker made a 27-yard field goal, winning the 3rd SB for the Chiefs. Two years later, they again face the same rival to complete their 3-peat. While the Chiefdom wants a win, the players also risk getting overwhelmed in moments of pressure. Fans, don’t worry! Andy Reid knows how to tackle that.

On the January 31 episode of ‘The Rich Eisen Show’, he explained their preparation strategy and sent a powerful message to his locker room. While talking about their practice, Andy Reid said, “What’s going to help you is that you focus in and take care of business today. While we’re doing our practices or the meetings we have today. I mean that take care of that and everything else, you let the chips fall where they may.”

There are some things that even the Chiefs need to focus on. It starts with preparing for the Eagles stars like Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and AJ Brown. Even on the O-line, the Chiefs didn’t cross a 30-point mark once in the regular season or the divisional game against the Texans. Only against the Bills, Andy Reid’s team scored 32 points, but the Bills also scored 29 points.

Though they won the games by outpacing their rivals or beating them in the planning, it’s now or never a situation for them. After becoming the first team to qualify for the Super Bowl in a 3-peat attempt in the Super Bowl era, their confidence is high. But the Eagles will not let them win easily.

Well, many in the football world don’t want to see them win Super Bowl again. They believe the league is rigged, and the referees help them. Is that the case?

Andy Reid doesn’t care about the referee bias rumors

This season, the Chiefs have secured tough wins. In 15 wins this year, they won 5 games with a 3 or lesser point difference. Hence, the football fans believe the referees favor them. But during his January 31 appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, the HC said, “I think everything balances out. You’ve got a human element with the officials. They try to do their best job. They take a lot of heat. Coaches take a lot of heat. I don’t pay much attention to it.”

The rumors got stronger after the AFC Championship game against the Bills. On the first play of the first quarter, Josh Allen & co. were on a 4 & 1 drive. But Nick Bolton didn’t allow them. The on-ground referee also consulted with the replay official, declaring the Bills didn’t cross.

The Chiefs later scored a touchdown and an FG to seal their win. With a win, they are into the Super Bowl. Andy Reid doesn’t care much. They are more bullish on their talents and abilities, not on an error. Can they cross the last line? We’ll find out in a few days.
