A real toss up. Eagles have got the better all round team but Id prefer chiefs to win and with Mahomes you just can’t bet against them.

Trouble is if KC win, we'll never hear the last of it!
I think (hope) that Barkley, Smith. Brown, Goedart et al will be enough to cover for Hurts' weaknesses. The rookie-on-rookie match up between de Jean and Worthy will be interesting.

Thank you Rob

Yeah I get that for a neutral, it'd have been a tough watch. 38-35 last time out was pretty competitive though.Had 14 years of following them until Andy Reid (ironically) got us to the big game.

No team repeats the NFC East so it's all up for grabs next year.

Hope next year works out for your team and with all the games coming up in UK, Ireland and Spain you get to see your guys soon / again soon 🏈

Well I guess if the knobhead Eagles get to celebrate a win at least the horrible Chiefs lot have taken a battering.

Will be good to see some fresh blood in the big one next year, sick of Chiefs, Eagles, 49ers rotation with the Chiefs just taking over from New England.

It is you know. Or certainly can be. You can watch it like it IS live. Done the same myself a few times and it's been no different. Not for me anyway.

Don't look at the internet, just watch the recording. No difference.
Don’t look at the internet!!!!! What!!!!

Lot of credit to Howie Roseman - eagles GM. Knows how to build a roster.
Chiefs top 4 earners accounting for 40% of their cap - 3 of them not worth the money. Eagles have noone above 7% of the cap. Plus drafted really well.
Mahomes carried Chiefs offense all season behind a line that couldn't protect or establish any sort of run game. Eagles O line gave Hurts a lot of time and can open gaps for the run.
Won't be surprised if Kelce retires before he is shown the door.
Wasn't surprised Eagles went up early. Bit surprised by the ease of it all.

I am the same Pete, I can't watch a game as live after it has finished, especially CCFC, and want to know the score asap. My brother tries to watch F1 or motogp as live but has the problem of stopping me telling him 🤣 If I want to watch a motogp live that happens early morning then I have to get up.

Wow - that was a performance. So pleased for Cooper DeJean with that INT return, and Mahomes hasn't faced a D-line like that all year. I think the Birds took their foot off the gas and allowed Chiefs to gain a bit of a respectable score. Or maybe they got tired. Couple of weird flags - that pass interference call against A J Brown early on was odd, i thought.

I think if the Eagles can hold on to the core of this squad, they could have something of a dynasty now that they found the winning habit. Josh Sweat, Zack Baun and Kenny Gainwell are all free agents this year, as is Brandon Graham, who will probably retire. I'm still not entirely sure how the draft and free agent scheme works in the NFL, so i may be talking out of my backside!

Fly Eagles, Fly .... 🦅🦅🦅🦅

100 percent. I don't watch anything live if it a middle of night anymore. Sleeps too important as I get older

I just don't check results and watch first thing in the morning. Feel much better for it too

Watching the extended highlights works for me with NFL - takes out all the ads and the time-outs. May lose some of the atmosphere and context of some plays, but i enjoy it.

Yeah I can't watch NFL live. Even on same day I let over one half of game pass so I can fast forward inbetween plays.

Game in 40 works well on gamecenter.

Love finally having a QB rookie contract that enables us to have an aggressive free agency. Vikings go out and address the issues that have plagued them for seasons. A proper centre, a guard & two good DTs. Not sexy positions but the major weakness for us for far too long.

I don't get how they can vote on the MVP before the SuperBowl. I'm not saying Hurts should have got it over Allen, but the Bills (and Jackson's Ravens too) play in a second-rate division and they have lost to the same team in the AFC game for 5/6 seasons.

Glad Seattle got rid of Geno I couldn’t stand him, more sad to see DK go but he is trouble. Darnold let’s wait and see.
