Eagles are the new America’s Team going into the Super Bowl against the Chiefs

Associated Press  

Move over, Dallas Cowboys. It’s still painful to watch sometimes but I can’t stand the Chiefs.” Some fans are simply tired of watching Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the Chiefs hoist another Lombardi Trophy. SiriusXM radio show host Adam Schein called the officiating in the Bills-Chiefs game a “disgrace.” ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky said the ball placement on Allen’s play was an “awful call and again a worse review.” Patriots fans don’t want Mahomes and coach Andy Reid to get closer to the record six championships Tom Brady and Bill Belichick won together in New England. Of course, it’s difficult to watch any NFL game without seeing former Eagles center Jason Kelce pop up in one There’s also the Travis Kelce factor. As for the Cowboys, who were given the “America’s Team” moniker in the late 1970s, they haven’t been to a Super Bowl in 29 years.
