If Sunday’s Super Bowl rematch between Philadelphia and Kansas City is any indication, the Eagles remain the NFL’s team to beat. The defending champs shut down Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, pulling away late for a 20-17 victory in a defensive struggle at Arrowhead Stadium.
While the Eagles handled the Chiefs with ease in Super Bowl LIX in February, cruising to a 40-22 victory, Sunday’s game was more of a slugfest. The score was 10-10 at halftime thanks to a 58-yard field goal by Philadelphia kicker Jake Elliott two seconds before the break. Kansas City outgained the Eagles 294-216 and held Jalen Hurts to just 101 yards passing, but the Chiefs struggled to move the ball.
Mahomes completed just 16 of 29 passes for 187 yards, with a touchdown and an interception. Mahomes padded his numbers late, with 49 of those yards coming on a touchdown pass to Tyquan Thornton with barely more than three minutes left. Kansas City’s best offense was Mahomes’ legs: He led his team with 66 rushing yards and a touchdown on seven carries.
The Chiefs, who lost their season opener to the Los Angeles Chargers in a neutral-site game in Brazil, are now 0-2. The Eagles improved to 2-0 and have allowed only 37 points this season.
That it was another loss to the Eagles, who convincingly beat them in Super Bowl LIX in February, was painful enough. That the turning-point play of the game came between Mahomes and Travis Kelce made it even tougher to swallow.
Down, 13-10, the Chiefs drove to the Philadelphia 6-yard line early in the fourth quarter. But on second-and-goal, Mahomes’ pass glanced off Kelce’s hands and into the arms of the Eagles’ Andrew Mukuba, who ran it back 41 yards from the goal line. Mukuba might have gone all the way had Chiefs rookie left tackle Josh Simmons not made a TD-saving tackle.
It’s a play Mahomes and Kelce have run a thousand times, but the quarterback said they were just a hair off.
“I threw it a tad too early,” Mahomes told reporters after the game. “If I could put it on his body, he can catch it, take the hit and get into the end zone.”
