Mahomes and Hurts prepare for key challenges in Super Bowl 59
Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts are preparing for Super Bowl 59, each needing to address specific challenges. Mahomes has struggled with deep passes this season, averaging just 6.9 yards per attempt, which plays into the Eagles' defensive strategy of limiting explosive plays. Hurts faces pressure from the Chiefs' strong pass rush and must avoid drive-killing sacks. He has the highest average time to throw in the NFL, which contributes to his pressure issues. Quick decision-making and targeting open receivers like A.J. Brown will be crucial for his success. Both quarterbacks have shown potential in high-pressure situations. Mahomes excels on third and fourth downs, while Hurts recently delivered a strong performance in the NFC Championship game. Their ability to adapt will be key in the upcoming matchup.
