That night was magical! With just 8 seconds left in that contest, the Kansas City Chiefs received possession to kick a field goal. And they did. After a controversial holding penalty against James Bradberry, the Arrowhead team scored three points to clinch the Super Bowl. That victory marked their first successful attempt at their current 3-peat aim. But the stars have aligned again. Jalen Hurts’s Eagles have got another opportunity for a Super Bowl rematch. Will they be able to pull this one? Well, Tom Brady has a warning for the Birds.

Remember how Josh Allen and his team lost to the Chiefs in the AFC? That controversial quarterback sneak on fourth-and-inches was stopped, and the refs found it short. This led the team to lose its possession. Patrick Mahomes, as usual, shrugged off his warmer in that cold weather and stepped up. Next what? The Chiefs led to their fourth AFC win in five years. Tom Brady, who was watching that game closely, quickly understood what it takes for a team like Jalen Hurts’s Philadelphia Eagles to win against KC.

Hence, while appearing in an episode of The Herd with Colin Cowherd this week, Tom Brady recalled Josh Allen and his team’s mistakes to give a piece of advice and warning to Jalen Hurts and the Philly. The entire discussion started when the host recalled TB12’s matchup against the powerful Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX. Cowherd admitted that back then even though he was a “Brady-homer,” he had a strong feeling that they might lose to the Hawks due to their insane level of talent. So, the same is the case with the Eagles and the Chiefs.

Tom Brady, listening carefully, also nodded in acknowledgment that it was a fair comparison. After praising that time’s Seahawks defense and their smart scheme, including their stacked offense, Brady admitted that it took every ounce of effort from New England to win that game. Similarly, it will take the same thing for the Eagles to win against the Chiefs. With this, Brady warned Jalen Hurts – “If you’re going to beat the Chiefs, it has to be the ultimate complimentary game, because you could score to take the lead with 45 seconds left in the game and give the b–ll back back to Patrick and that offense,” the whole world believes that it’s too much time for Mahomes to make a comeback.

In continuation of this thought, Brady added, “It’s like how Buffalo beat him (Patrick Mahomes) in the regular season.” Asking Jalen Hurts to learn from Josh Allen, he referenced how Buffalo pulled it off once in the regular game. They didn’t just try to run the clock out, they went for it, even with a small lead. Josh Allen made a huge play on fourth-and-two, scrambled in for a touchdown, and secured a two-score cushion. Because against Mahomes, one score is never safe. He thrives in pressure moments, and that fear of what he can do late in the game – it’s very real.

What’s your perspective on:

Can Jalen Hurts overcome the Chiefs' dominance, or will Mahomes continue his Super Bowl reign?

The next question also covered the 2023 upset. To which Hurts had no option left other than answering. That’s why he started his answer with, “Here we go!” No doubt, the Eagles’ 38-35 loss to the Chiefs in that matchup broke them from inside.
