CBS Sports made a prediction for superstar Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in Super Bowl LVII that Philadelphia Eagles fans will love.
Garrett Podell, an NFL writer for CBS Sports, thinks a historic Kelce streak will come to an end against the Eagles.
Kelce has had at least 75 receiving yards in eight consecutive NFL postseason games, which is an NFL record.
Podell thinks that streak will be snapped against Philly.
One playoff record Kelce has all to himself is the most consecutive postseason games with at least 75 receiving yards. The last time he had fewer than 75 in a playoff game was the Chiefs' Super Bowl LIV win over the San Francisco 49ers to conclude the 2019 season. Philadelphia's defense is well-equipped to slow down the hub of the Kansas City aerial attack given that they allow the fifth-lowest passer rating when passing to tight ends this season, 80.6, as well as what's tied for the fifth-fewest touchdowns allowed to opposing tight ends this season, three.
The reason for the Eagles' success in coverage against some of the bigger, more versatile pass-catchers in the NFL is almost every member of their secondary is near the top of the entire league at their respective position.
Philadelphia may surrender some yards along the way to allowing some touchdown drives, but it won't be because Kelce is beating them.

If the Eagles hold Kelce to under 75 hards, Philly fans should feel pretty good about their chances of winning the game.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes still has an ankle sprain. And while he's moving around pretty well on it, he's still not 100 percent. That's led to him relying on Kelce even more.
If Philly can take Kelce away, it should mean a less effective Mahomes.
You can obviously never count Mahomes out — injured or not — but the Eagles know that eliminating Kelce will significantly increase their chances of winning Super Bowl LVII
