Podcast greats Robert Mays and Nate Tice recently spent an episode comparing recent super bowl teams to the Chiefs and Eagles and landed on the 2016 Falcons as a comp for the Eagles. Packers head coach Matt Lafleur was on that staff, and I thought it would be interesting to compare the two teams. We’ll…
