The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs met in Week 2 of the NFL season, and the two teams had much at stake. The Chiefs were trying to avoid their first-ever sequence of three straight losses with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback.
Ad
The game was a much closer contest than Super Bowl LIX right from the start. Both teams had dominant opening drives on defense and were able to keep the score close. Although the Eagles led for most of the game, they still couldn't put up a lot of points on the board.
However, the situation changed in the second half. With the Chiefs near the end zone, Travis Kelce dropped a touchdown and the play turned into an interception. Jalen Hurts later scored with a brotherly shove, and from there, the Philadelphia Eagles never looked back.

Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eaglesgame recap
It was not a pretty start to the game, with the first three drives ending in a punt and the fourth resulting in a missed field goal. Philadelphia scored the first touchdown of the game before the end of the first quarter, but consistency was lacking on both offenses.
Kansas City turned the game around with 10 straight points, but both teams were tied at halftime with another field goal from the visitors. Just three points were scored in the third quarter with another field goal for the Eagles.
Ad
The Chiefs were en route to scoring their second touchdown of the game, but a Travis Kelce drop near the end zone turned into an interception, and a few plays later, the score was 20-10 for Philadelphia. Although they never scored again, their defense did just enough to close the game.
With the loss, Patrick Mahomes has now lost three straight games in his career for the first time. It is also the third straight victory of Philadelphia over Kansas City, going back to the 2023 season. It's the first time in Mahomes' career that he's 0-2 to start the season.

Henrique Bulio is an NFL and College Football journalist at Sportskeeda and the Editor-in-Chief of Pro Football Brasil. He has a total 13 years of experience working in American Football, and playing quarterback at an amateur level in Brazil has given him a unique perspective of the game.
Henrique follows the Philadelphia Eagles closely due to Michael Vick's historic performance on MNF against the Washington Commanders in 2010. His all-time favorite player is Ed Reed; he believes that Reed is the greatest safety to ever play the game. Bill Belichick gets the nod as Henrique's favorite coach for coaching the Patriots to glory over two decades.
If Henrique were to be able to go back in time and watch one game, it would be Super Bowl XLIX, where the Patriots and the Seahawks played a complete, back-and-forth game that concluded with one of the biggest talking points in NFL history.
Technical deep dives are Henrique’s specialty, and he ensures never to use misleading words in his articles, since he himself consumes a lot of information off the web. He has had the privilege of interviewing Cairo Santos, Lamar Jackson, Jim Harbaugh, Sean McDermott, Bruce Arians, Matt LaFleur, among others.
Aside from football, Henrique likes to play poker and Counter-Strike.
