After years of aggressive Tremendous Bowls, Sunday’s Tremendous Bowl LVII is perhaps a little bit of a dud — if the yearly Madden online game simulation is any indication.
At the very least for followers of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Madden NFL 23’s official simulation is predicting the Philadelphia Eagles to drag away within the second half and deal with the Chiefs 31-17.
Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts, who was named the sport’s Most Worthwhile Participant within the simulation, accomplished 26 of 33 passes for 282 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions whereas speeding 10 occasions for 88 yards and one other landing.
He accounted for the Eagles’ first three touchdowns of the sport: a 9-yard run within the first quarter and two third-quarter passes — a 26-yard go to A.J. Brown and a 63-yard go to DeVonta Smith. The 2 touchdowns helped the Eagles take a decisive lead after being tied with Kansas Metropolis at halftime 10-10.
Hurts was Philadelphia’s main rusher (Miles Sanders had 15 carries for 78 yards and the Eagles’ closing landing), and Brown the sport’s main receiver with eight catches for 114 yards and a landing. Smith added six catches for 92 yards and a landing.
Kansas Metropolis defensive deal with Chris Jones was the one Chiefs participant to get to Hurts, sacking him twice.
Kansas Metropolis tight finish Travis Kelce, who has been the Chiefs’ principal receiving goal all season, opened the sport’s scoring with a 4-yard landing reception from quarterback Patrick Mahomes. It was the one landing go of the sport for Mahomes, who accomplished 29 of 39 passes for 249 yards, the landing and an interception to Philadelphia security C.J. Gardner-Johnson within the third quarter.
Philadelphia edge rusher Haason Reddick sacked Mahomes twice within the simulated sport and the Eagles largely contained Kansas Metropolis’s run sport, holding Isiah Pacheco to 11 carries for 38 yards and a late landing, and Jerick McKinnon to 10 carries for a team-high 51 yards.
The Eagles additionally did job on Kelce, who had six catches for 65 yards and the first-quarter landing. Marquez Valdes-Scantling led the Chiefs in receiving with seven catches for 89 yards.
All this would possibly find yourself being signal for Chiefs followers, although. The Madden simulation has missed the previous two seasons, choosing the Cincinnati Bengals final 12 months (the Los Angeles Rams gained) and the Chiefs in Tremendous Bowl LV (the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gained).
The final Tremendous Bowl the Madden simulation received proper was Tremendous Bowl LIV, when it appropriately predicted Kansas Metropolis to beat the San Francisco 49ers — and for Mahomes to be the MVP. The simulation missed on the 2 Tremendous Bowls earlier than that, together with predicting that the New England Patriots would beat Philadelphia in Tremendous Bowl LII — a sport the Eagles gained.
