NEW ORLEANS — Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo had the worst season of his mostly distinguished career when he spent Sundays on the New Orleans Saints' sideline in the Superdome. It was a house of horrors for him again in the Super Bowl against Philadelphia. The Eagles racked up 345 yards in a 40-22 rout on Sunday night. Spags entered this Super Bowl as one of the more talked about — and celebrated — coordinators in the sport. While the Kansas City largely contained Eagles record-setting running back Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia found other ways to move the ball. Jalen Hurts passed for 221 yards and two TDs and rushed for 72 yards and a short score.
