The talk of Kansas City has been about whether they would be considered a dynasty in their third Super Bowl appearance in four years. Gonzalez told Fox News Digital that he agreed the dynasty talk is justified, but said fans should also give the Eagles’ front office a lot of credit.
«If the Chiefs win, then yeah, I think you put the ‘D’ in there, put the word ‘dynasty’ at the beginning when you talk about the success they’ve had in the last four years,» he said.
«With Philly, if they win this game, give credit to (Eagles GM) Howie Roseman for the way he rebuilt this team and changed it: a different quarterback, a lot of guys who are new.

«For them to turn it around so quickly is unbelievable. You see teams go to the Super Bowl and don’t come back for 10 years or more. But to do what Philly did, the way they reconfigured themselves: get rid of Carson Wentz and everything that and Nick Foles, bringing in Jalen Hurts; it’s just a credit to what they’ve been able to do from a management perspective.»
Chiefs coach Andy Reid will also get another shot at the Vince Lombardi Trophy, and this time it could be at the expense of the team he used to coach before he left for Kansas City.

A win could solidify Reid’s place among the top coaches to lead in the NFL.
«I mean I’m definitely going to put it up there,» the former Chiefs star told Fox News Digital. «Andy, from a play perspective, I don’t think you can say anybody was better than him. And then you give a guy like Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Tyreek Hill, I know he’s not playing there anymore, I think the things it can do are great.
«Absolutely, I put him up there, among the top five coaches of all time, and if he wins this week for sure.»
González is also trying to help rabid soccer fans stay calm during the game by raising awareness about the stress and anxiety fans can experience throughout the ordeal.
