The Philadelphia Eagles, based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the Kansas City Chiefs, based in Kansas City, Missouri, are two of the best teams in the NFL, largely due to their recent appearances in the Super Bowl. Both teams played in the Super Bowl, but there can only be one winner, and that was the Eagles this year. The game was on Sunday, February 9, 2025, at 3:30 PM Pacific Time. The game ended with a score of 40-22 in favor of the Eagles.
According to Kansas City Chiefs player, Patrick Mahomes, after their loss in the Super Bowl, “Obviously, the turnovers hurt. And I mean, I just got to take all the blame for that.” (Patrick Mahomes) He takes the blame because he knows he could have done his job better and been a better leader for the team. This is important to NFL fans because, for some, the Super Bowl is the biggest part of the year, and it means a lot to get an understanding of who might make the next one. These teams being so good has to do with the amazing offenses and defenses. With a lot of high-rated players, and with incredible coaching, the Chiefs have a head Coach named Andy Reid with 301 total wins, which is the top 5 wins in history. The Eagles also have a great head coach named Nick Sirianni, who led the Eagles to a Super Bowl win. Another reason they achieved being in the 2025 Super Bowl is by having players who are the best of the best. This comes from the coaching that these teams have to make them better. This is because the Coach chooses who’s on the team, and it’s hard to get good players because there are 32 teams in the whole league.
Both teams also have superstars, with the Kansas City Chiefs having a Quarterback named Patrick Mahomes who has 3 MVP Super Bowl awards. With the Eagles, they have Saquon Barkley, who one season, ran for over 2000 rushing yards, which is the top 5 most in the whole NFL history.
They were in the previous Super Bowl, and that comes with the title of the best team in the NFL, which attracts other teams trying to step up and beat them. The teams that are a close second to both the Eagles and Chiefs,” – are the Bills and Lions, who are based in Buffalo, New York, and the Lions, who are in Detroit.
Those teams are close because the Chiefs just barely beat the Bills in the championship game, and the Lions had a better regular-season record than the Eagles, with the Eagles having a record of 14-3 last season and the Lions having a record of 15-2.
These are the reasons why the Eagles and Chiefs are the best teams in the NFL right now, and why other teams in the NFL could catch up. Fun fact: the Eagles have the best chance of winning the Super Bowl in the 2025-2026 season.
