The flock of Eagles has landed at the Superdome in New Orleans. And, the excitement for the game has already skyrocketed. This will be the rematch of Super Bowl LVII between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. The media night in the Superdome stadium is over. The next time both teams will be on the gridiron will be the kickoff. As the players are also excited, a lot of young guys like Saquon Barkley and Bryce Huff are on the trip for the first time. Well, first-timer or not, Tom Brady has sent a special tip to all for the special game.

The seven-time Super Bowl champion appeared on Fox. When someone from the online audience asked him about the off-the-field experience, Tom Brady recalled his days, saying, “These two weeks leading up to the Super Bowl from the time you win the championship game to kick off in the Super Bowl, are two of the most exciting weeks in your life.” Furthermore, Brady sent a tip at the end to Saquon Barkley about the hilarious tip. 

The five-time Super Bowl MVP added, “There are so many fun things you get to do. You obviously have the normal week of preparation- which of the 5000 ticket requests you’re going to deny.” He continued, “When it’s your first time, it’s really tough because people are trying to come from everywhere to try to be involved in the Super Bowl.” TB12 also gave a glimpse of the media night in the last week of the Super Bowl, alongside on-court photo sessions.

And Brady’s advice for youngsters like Barkley, stay away from distractions. He said, “There is so much attention. Every time you turn the TV on or on any of the sites, you’re gonna see your name, your team’s name, and all the matchups. And it’s important to not get caught up in those distractions.” He’s correct. The focus must be the Super Bowl and nothing else.

The three-time NFL MVP further added, “You really got to focus on. Try to make that game as normal as you can from a preparation standpoint. So you’re not distracted by the time the game comes around. And I think the ability to limit the distractions during the week, even though all these things, are really exciting, that goes a long way to determining who the winner of that game is.” Alright, no player denies the fact that concentration and focus are really important. 

On top of that, Super Bowl Day is also the birthday of Barkley. After playing six seasons with the Giants, the RB is shining in his first year as Eagle. But as the D-day is coming closer. He gotta stay alerted of the Chief’s defense. 

What’s your perspective on:

Can Saquon Barkley overcome the Chiefs' defense and make his Super Bowl debut unforgettable?

Saquon Barkley to face Spagnuolo’s defense in the Super Bowl face-off

People have repeatedly discussed the Chiefs’ defense’s ability to stop Saquon Barkley from running for many yards. The fear of Spagnuolo’s defense is real. Though Saquon has run more than 60 yards a couple of times this season, he must buckle up to face Chris Jones, George Karlaftis, Charles Omenihu, and so on.

However, the fear only Saquon has created is nothing less than insane. Even in their wild-card game against the Packers, Matt LaFleur said that if other running backs get a narrow gap, they would run 20 yards. But Saquon Barkley would go for 80 yards. So, talking about the Eagles’ defensive line, Andy Reid himself has said, “Oh, man, that guy, I can’t get rid of that guy. He’s everywhere; he’s tough. He knows what is coming at him. And the Chiefs’ offense knows what is coming at them.” The Chiefs HC was talking about the defensive coordinator of the Eagles Vic Fangio. That’s why Reid hasn’t made a mistake to place Joe Thuney in the defensive tackle position at the left. 

Injuries have badly hurt the Eagles’ offense. Brandon Graham, Kenny Gainwell, Britain Covey, and C.J. Uzomah are categorized as questionable in the 3rd injury report. And to make things even worse, injuries to Cam Jurgens and Landon Dickerson are only fueling anxiety. However, we expect most players to play in the Super Bowl.
