The Super Bowl was supposed to be an advertisement for football between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. But instead, all that anyone could talk about was the turf. Players kept slipping and losing their grip. The quarterbacks lost their footing, defenders could not get a grip, running backs kept losing their balance and kickers and punters slipped while executing kicks. Once the game is over, there might be disagreements, but one thing that will unite every NFL fan is that the field was not fit for a Super Bowl. Whether it was the stadium's fault or the paint that made matters worse, the NFL has a lot to answer for.The Chiefs had complained about the turf in Arizona earlier in the season, yet the game went ahead and it was not apparent that any improvements had been made.Rob Collins@RCFOX4KCChiefs HC Andy Reid: The turf in Arizona played a part in the injuries to Harrison Butker and Trent McDuffie. #Chiefskingdom49126Chiefs HC Andy Reid: The turf in Arizona played a part in the injuries to Harrison Butker and Trent McDuffie. #ChiefskingdomThe fans were unanimous in their disdain for the playing field.
