The Kansas City Chiefs have a task ahead of them that is very difficult. Sure, beating the Eagles, an amazing team, will be hard enough, but there is an extra layer that people often forget.
Playing in the Super Bowl is hard because you are playing the best or second-best team in the league. You are playing the best team in that conference, but you are also dealing with the distractions that the Super Bowl presents.
It can be tough, and Andy Reid explains just how tough.
"Well, it takes you out of your normal routine," Reid said on Wednesday. "You try to keep it as close to that as possible, but you've got media obligations like this, that you've got to do, and a couple of other things that they throw in there.
"But for the most part, we try to keep the practice is relatively the same, and, and on schedule, so, but I'd probably tell you just the magnitude of the media and a few of the other things that you're asked to do promotional things."
The Kansas City Chiefs have been through this before. So I would assume that Reid isn't too worried about his squad getting distracted. Sure, the team as a whole is pretty young, the third youngest team per Spotrac.com, but their core has been to three Super bowls now.
It's the scheduling. Getting off your normal schedule can be tough. They make you do far more media than you would usually do when you could be relaxing and preparing for the game.
The practice times are different. You are in a different city for over a week, sleeping in a different place, a different bed, and probably not with your family as much, for a week.
People don't think about those things when talking about teams getting ready for the Super Bowl.
