Super Bowl Dreams Key Questions for the Final Four NFL Teams

With only four teams remaining in the race for Super Bowl glory, the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, and Washington Commanders each face critical challenges as they aim for the Lombardi Trophy. While these teams have proven they have the talent to make a deep playoff run, there are still important questions that could determine their fate.

Buffalo Bills: Can Josh Allen Overcome the Arrowhead Curse?

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills have had impressive regular-season success against the Kansas City Chiefs, with a 4-1 record against Patrick Mahomes. However, when the stakes are highest in the postseason, Mahomes has been unbeatable, with the Chiefs winning all three of their playoff matchups against the Bills. Allen has yet to secure a playoff win on the road, carrying an 0-3 record into this game. Can he finally conquer the formidable environment of Arrowhead and lead Buffalo to its first Super Bowl appearance in decades?

Kansas City Chiefs: Are They Cutting it Too Close?

The Chiefs have mastered the art of close games, with 11 of their 16 wins this season coming by just one score. While Patrick Mahomes and head coach Andy Reid have earned a reputation for clutch performances, this team is not as explosive as the 2019 Chiefs that dominated the league. Their reliance on tight, low-scoring victories has been effective, but it raises the question: can they continue to edge out wins, or will their luck run out when it matters most?

Philadelphia Eagles: How Healthy is Jalen Hurts?

Two years ago, Jalen Hurts played through a shoulder injury to help the Eagles reach the Super Bowl, and now, it’s his knee that could potentially hinder their title aspirations. Hurts’ dual-threat ability as both a passer and rusher has been a key part of the Eagles’ success, but if his knee injury affects his mobility, it could change how the offense operates. With Saquon Barkley also playing at an MVP level, Hurts’ ability to manage the game without forcing himself into critical moments will be a huge factor in the Eagles’ Super Bowl quest.

Washington Commanders: Can Jayden Daniels Step Up in Sam Cosmi’s Absence?

The Commanders’ upset of the Detroit Lions was impressive, but it came at a cost: the loss of Sam Cosmi, one of the team’s best interior pass blockers. With Cosmi sidelined, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels will need to rise to the occasion against a powerful Eagles defense, including star defensive tackle Jalen Carter. Daniels’ ability to extend plays with his legs will be crucial, but without Cosmi’s protection, he’ll have to make quick decisions and handle the pressure from Philly’s defense.

As the final four teams prepare for the upcoming battles, these pressing questions will likely shape the course of the postseason and determine which team gets one step closer to Super Bowl glory.
