Andy Reid vs. Vic Fangio: Who has the advantage in Super Bowl 59?

Stats tell a story.

But stories can be designed to mislead.

I’m sure you’ve seen some variation of the stat this week. Since entering the NFL, Patrick Mahomes-led offenses are 8-0 vs. Vic Fangio defenses. That seems bad for the Eagles chances at winning the Super Bowl.

And what if we looked back at all 12 of the Andy Reid vs. Fangio battles over two-plus decades (spanning Reid’s time in Philadelphia and Kansas City, and Fangio’s stops in Indianapolis, Houston, San Francisco, Chicago, Denver and Miami) in the NFL, not just the Mahomes games?

Let’s dive in.
