In this special episode of Football 301, Nate Tice and Matt Harmon join you live to break down the Philadelphia Eagles' dominant Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Nate and Matt discuss what went wrong for Kansas City and what made Philadelphiaâs roster construction and game plan so effective. The guys break down every key moment, from the Chiefsâ offensive line woes to the Eagles' defensive line getting after Patrick Mahomes all game long.
While the Chiefs couldnât seem to get anything going on offense, with Rashee Rice missing and Travis Kelce struggling in both receiving and blocking, Matt and Nate pinpoint what went wrong. The Chiefs were constantly pressured by the Eagles' four-man rush, and even though the Chiefs' defense hung in there, giving up 40 points was too much to overcome. Nate explains the missed opportunities, like DeAndre Hopkinsâ crucial drop and what the Chiefs will need to address in the offseasonâlike bolstering their offensive line and adding more talent to their receiver corps. For the first time in years, the future looks shaky for Kansas City.
But this episode isn't just about the Chiefs' struggles; the Eagles also deserve plenty of credit. From Nick Sirianniâs leadership to Howie Rosemanâs masterful roster construction, Matt and Nate give praise to the Eagles for building a team that was built to win big. Whether it's Josh Sweat dominating up front or Cooper DeJean stepping up in big moments, the Eagles' commitment to their unique team-building strategy paid off. Looking ahead, Matt and Nate discuss the possibility of a Philadelphia Super Bowl repeat with Jalen Hurts leading the charge and Howieâs continued emphasis on bold strategic moves. Discussion around Drake's unfortunate Super Bowl night and other thoughts on Kendrick Lamar's halftime show wrap things up.
(1:20) - Eagles win the Super Bowl!
(19:40) - What went wrong for Kansas City

Nate Tice, Charles McDonald, and Matt Harmon come to you from the Toyota Land Cruiser set at Super Bowl LIX to give their final thoughts and analysis on the ultimate matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. The guys kick things off with some banter about Charles' run-in with a New Orleans Saints fan Uber driver before diving deep into the key matchups of the big game.
As the guys analyze both sides of the ball, the conversation turns to the Chiefs' offense and their methodical style of play. One of the biggest battles to watch will be the Chiefs' offensive line trying to hold up against the Eagles' ferocious defensive line. The Chiefs have weaknesses on both sides of the ball, and the offensive line's ability to protect Patrick Mahomes may be the defining factor in this game. The run game, led by Isiah Pacheco, is a âsnoozer matchup," as Matt has little confidence in KC's ability to pop any big runs.
Switching to the Eaglesâ side of the ball, the guys dive into how Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley will look to exploit the Chiefs' defense. While Kansas City is good at stopping explosive runs, Saquonâs ability to break off big gains adds a layer of intrigue to the matchup. The Eaglesâ offensive line, perhaps the most imposing group in the league, will aim to dominate in the trenches. However, the key to this game could be the play of the Chiefs' secondaryâespecially with standout cornerback Trent McDuffie facing a tall task against Phillyâs wide receiver duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. After all the analysis, the crew wraps up by giving their final predictions for the game.
Later, Nate and Charles are joined by Washington Commanders rookie phenom Jayden Daniels to break down his outstanding season, the finer details of Kliff Kingsbury's offense, building the ultimate receiver out of guys he's played with and more.
(2:25) - Chiefs offense vs. Eagles defense

In this episode of Football 301, hosts Nate Tice and Matt Harmon dive into the aftermath of Wild Card Weekend, offering every team that took an L in the Wild Card round both a full postmortem and a potential offseason plan. They begin by revisiting the Minnesota Vikings' season, highlighting Sam Darnold's commendable but ultimately unsuccessful stint as quarterback. Matt likens Darnold's Vikings tenure to Game of Thrones' tragic Robb Stark, while Nate dissects the ongoing issues with Minnesotaâs offensive line and the team's need for drastic improvements.
Next, the duo shifts focus to the Los Angeles Chargers, who just didn't have the juice to hang against the Houston Texans. Nate points out how the Chargers' reliance on star power left them vulnerable, and the Texansâ dominant defensive line exposed their shortcomings. But itâs not all doom and gloom for the Chargers, as the team has solid foundations to build on. The conversation shifts to the Green Bay Packers, where the young roster showed flashes but ultimately couldn't put together consistent performances. Matt and Nate break down the need for a clearer offensive identity. The duo also hit on the Pittsburgh Steelers, who need to take a look in the mirror after yet another early playoff exit.
The episode wraps up with a look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Denver Broncos. Matt questions whether Tampa's offense can sustain its momentum, particularly with impending changes at offensive coordinator. Despite Bowles' underperforming defense, the Buccaneers could still be a threat in a weak NFC South. Meanwhile, the Broncosâ season is viewed as a success, given their offensive turnaround. Nate and Matt discuss how Denver's strong defense and improving offense could set them up for a brighter future.

The MVP race was tight, as the trio debate between Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen.

On the defensive side, Patrick Surtain II stood out as the top contender for Defensive Player of the Year with his lockdown play, while Dan Campbell's leadership and resilience in Detroit is compared to Kevin O'Connell's unbelievable turnaround of Sam Darnold's career in Minnesota for the Coach of the Year award.

Meanwhile, the Executive of the Year conversation highlighted the impressive work of Jason Licht for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Brad Holmes for the Detroit Lions, turning around their teams with savvy draft picks and trades.

In this episode of Football 301, Nate Tice and Matt Harmon are ringing in the New Year with their resolutions for NFL teams as the playoff race heats up. Matt's resolutions focus on teams in the playoffs, while Nate takes aim at franchises that are in need of some serious soul-searching.
First, the guys tackle the red-hot Minnesota Vikings, who are gearing up for a crucial Sunday night game. Matt admits to regretting his past doubts about Sam Darnold, while Nate discusses how Darnoldâs recent performances are reshaping the teamâs future. From there, they turn their attention to the New England Patriots, discussing the lack of supporting talent around rookie QB Drake Maye and the need for a drastic roster overhaul. They also dive into the Detroit Lionsâ identity, where Coach Dan Campbell's aggressive philosophy is clearly paying off.
Next, they touch on the Chicago Bears, who have a lot of work to do, particularly in finding a long-term solution at center to help their young QB Caleb Williams. The conversation shifts to teams in need of renovation or a redefined sense of direction. The Los Angeles Rams need a refresh on offense with more speed and explosiveness, while the Indianapolis Colts seem stuck in the muck, lacking defensive leadership. On the flip side, Matt and Nate give props to the Houston Texans for their surprising playoff berth but caution that they may have overestimated their readiness for a deep run. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers might need to trim the fat in their offense, and the Las Vegas Raiders must decide whether to commit to a long-term plan or continue with their half-measure approach. The episode wraps up with a look at the San Francisco 49ers, who need to eat their vegetables.

One more week left in the 2024 regular season and the playoff picture (and first pick in the draft picture) is coming into shape. Nate Tice and Charles McDonald discuss the five biggest results from Week 17's Saturday and Sunday action, leading off with the Minnesota Vikings' well-earned divisional win over the Green Bay Packers.
Nate & Charles discuss how Sam Darnold's play and Kevin O'Connor's scheming always kept Green Bay a step behind and why the Packers defense is not quite up to the task of stopping an elite Super Bowl-contending offense.
Speaking of elite, the guys look back to Saturday and look at the Los Angeles Rams' 13-9 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Nate explains why sophomore receiver Puka Nacua has entered the top-tier of NFL wideouts and why his play the last two seasons is basically unparalleled from a statistical perspective.
Also on Saturday, the Cincinnati Bengals eked out an overtime win over the Denver Broncos, keeping their playoff hopes alive. The guys talk about Joe Burrow's MVP case and how the Broncos still may backpedal into the playoffs against a Kansas City Chiefs team that will likely rest their starters next weekend.
Closing out the show, they chat about Drew Lock and the New York Giants extinguishing the Indianapolis Colts' playoff hopes and Saquon Barkley's 2,000-yard season in a Philadelphia win over the Dallas Cowboys.
