How the Chiefs’ creative run game dominated the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII

In Super Bowl LVII, the Kansas City Chiefs faced one of the game's best defensive lines. The Eagles fierce pass rush won them many games in 2022. Their run defense, not so much. The Eagles' run defense ranked just 16th in the league in run defense despite finishing second in total defense.

The Chiefs found a way to exploit this flaw, and they did so by running eight different types of run plays.

Isiah Pacheco rushed for 76 yards on 15 carries and one touchdown, while Jerrick McKinnon rushed for 34 yards on only four carries.
