The Kansas City Chiefs are getting prepared to play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.
The lights will certainly shine on the brightest stars for both teams, but there’s always an unsung hero to step up and make a play when a team needs it most. Chiefs HC Andy Reid was asked about those players who tend to step up and make plays on the biggest stage.
“Yeah, that’s the human element and what makes it so interesting,” Reid said. “People are so curious to watch. You don’t know, you don’t know who that person will be. But somebody will (step up). In this game, somebody that we haven’t mentioned, and just about everybody has been mentioned, but somebody that hasn’t been mentioned that’s going to step up and you’re going to go, ‘Wow, that was a great job by that kid.'”
While we don’t know who it’s going to be, we can certainly start making guesses about the Chiefs player who will step up against the Eagles.
Could it be a player like Justin Watson, who missed the AFC Championship Game with an illness? Could it be Mike Danna, who has quietly been a big contributor on the defensive side of the ball? Could it be one of the unheralded members of the “Fab Five” like Bryan Cook or Nazeeh Johnson? Could Clyde Edwards-Helaire come storming back from injured reserve and be a massive contributor? Maybe it’ll be an offensive lineman like RT Andrew Wylie, locking down a player like Eagles EDGE Haason Reddick?
There are seemingly endless options available.
