5 reasons the Kansas City Chiefs will win Super Bowl 55
Although the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set with an advantage, the Kansas City Chiefs have a true chance to win Super Bowl 55.
It’s the final countdown in a winner-take-all matchup.
The last time the Kansas City Chiefs found their way into Florida with such implications, it ended with a Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Will the same results happen despite playing on the opponent’s home turf?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are now the first team in the Super Bowl era to host and play in the game. After playing perhaps the most average football under Jameis Winston, Tom Brady came to town and transformed them into a contender. They’re now one game away from really making history.
Kansas City is fresh off another AFC title and should’t fear anyone. While the Buccaneers are red hot, the Chiefs are consistent. When breaking it down, these reasons certainly make sense on why the Chiefs are destined to repeat down in Raymond James in Super Bowl LV.
Here’s why the Chiefs will win Super Bowl 55
5. No Super Bowl hangover
For most teams, a Super Bowl hangover is real. The 49ers suffered a multitude of injuries and missed the postseason in 2020. The year prior, the Rams struggled to find balance while the Patriots imploded down the stretch for an early exit. Atlanta still hasn’t been the same since the 28-3 debacle.
The hangover is certainly effective in teams that suffer setbacks. Good thing Kansas City never really was in trouble.
In their two losses for 2020, Derek Carr and the Raiders scored 16 unanswered points in 12 minutes to hold on to a victory. The other loss came in Week 17 when a majority of the starters were resting since they had already clinched the top seed.
Even in close matchups, there were only a handful of moments — not games — where Kansas City felt as if they could fall apart. Everyone has their weak stretches, but Chiefs came for several minutes instead of several quarters.
Good luck stopping a team that looks become one of seven franchises in Super Bowl history to win back-to-back Super Bowls.
