PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs are meeting in the Super Bowl for the second time in three years, a dream come true for a writer who grew up in the suburbs of the city watching Andy Reid and the Eagles make deep playoff runs on a regular basis.

Patrick Mahomes will need some extra time in spike practice this week, but he found a few good things to say about the Kansas City Chiefs win over the Bills. So it’s on to Super Bowl 59, and the Chiefs X-factor is not Mahomes.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are on track to win the franchise's fourth Super Bowl with Mahomes at quarterback, including an unprecedented three Lombardis in a row if they beat the Philadelphia Eagles on February 9.
