The Super Bowl on Sunday was such a stinker that it should remind us of things we might have forgotten.
First among them is that good — even great — NFL teams can be beaten.
There are reasons for this, such as a star quarterback having an off-day, great plays being made by the other team, weird bounces of the odd-shaped ball, bad matchups for an offense, trick plays suddenly working, injuries and coaching solutions to difficult schemes.
The Eagles’ 40-22 beatdown of the Chiefs wasn’t even as close as that lopsided score appears.
