The 2024-25 NFL season was one of the most entertaining in recent memory. For the first time in at least five years, fans saw a truly competitive MVP race throughout the regular season. Every week it felt like either of the front running quarterbacks, Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, had the lead, only for the other to one-up them the next game. On top of that, we saw two of the best offensive seasons ever from running back Saquon Barkley and wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase. 

As a diehard NFL fan, I was disappointed to see so many people uninterested in this year’s Super Bowl matchup, the “holy grail” of American sports, but I can’t say that I blame them. Honestly, I felt the same thing. The Kansas City Chiefs had won the previous two Super Bowls and fans were getting bored seeing them narrowly squeak their way to the championship every year. This year, Chiefs games became borderline unwatchable because of the seemingly clear favoritism by the referees. 

That said, the Philadelphia Eagles were not appetizing to support either. Throughout the season, the Eagles coasted on the back of their star running back, Barkley, who broke multiple records this year, creating the image that they didn’t deserve the championship. Philadelphia fans are also known as one of the most toxic in all of sports which pairs perfectly with the Eagles annoying playstyle. 

Despite all of the hate leading up to the game, most at least expected it to be a competitive affair. When these two teams met two years ago, it was an entertaining and high-scoring game finishing 38-35 with the Chiefs coming out on top. This year was the complete opposite, as with four minutes left in the 4th Quarter the score was 40-6 and the Eagles were substituting most of their starters. 

Overall, this game was borderline unwatchable, and a poor representation of an otherwise amazing NFL season.
