Tremendous Bowl rematches are virtually at all times overplayed — the revenge subplot and all — as if the Chiefs successful a Week 2 regular-season recreation with the Eagles evens the rating for the centerstage collapse in New Orleans that left Kansas Metropolis as runners-up in Tremendous Bowl LIX.
However they’ll be primed for a recreation in September due to the timeslot and subplots, and to that we are saying: you’ll be able to have it.
Listed here are three different video games we’re extra enthusiastic about than the LIX redo:
Detroit Lions at Philadelphia Eagles, Nov. 16
The Sunday night time recreation in Week 11 ought to have some which means tied to it — presumably the No. 1 seed within the NFC — and most probably some circuitry will hint to tiebreakers within the ultimate playoff bracket within the convention.
The Lions have been the perfect staff within the NFL within the common season, with a consistency solely matched by the Chiefs. Neither was ok to assert the Lombardi Trophy.
Two groups anchored in throwback tendencies and arguably the highest two offensive traces within the NFL, this recreation units up as a chess match dotted with All-Professional expertise on both aspect of the ball.
Chicago Bears at Washington Commanders, Oct. 13
A Monday nighter in Maryland, D.C. child Caleb Williams will get an opportunity to run it again with Washington wunderkind Jayden Daniels. Daniels beat the Bears with an inconceivable 52-yard bomb, and the walk-off Hail Mary was sufficient to shake the tectonic plates in Chicago for one more teaching change.
Williams, the No. 1 decide in 2024, is now paired with former Lions offensive guru Ben Johnson, and large issues are anticipated.
Solely larger issues are anticipated from the Commanders, who performed within the NFC Championship Recreation behind Daniels — drafted one spot after Williams — and first-year head coach Dan Quinn.
Cincinnati Bengals at Buffalo Payments, Dec. 7
One of many flex packages might come for this recreation, which deserves a primetime perch and no distractions from different video games in the identical timeslot.
Joe Burrow and Josh Allen are subsequent to unimaginable to cease, and we don’t anticipate Buffalo or Cincinnati resembling the 1985 Chicago Bears defensively.
