On Monday, analyst Colin Cowherd offered his two cents on the Chiefs' 20-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2.

"Alright, here's what I know watching the Eagles in Kansas City," Cowherd said on his "The Herd" show. "Two things, Philadelphia is, I guess, beatable, but it's not easy. And the dynasty days of Kansas City, they're over. They could be good this year, maybe have some very good Sundays, but I watched that game last night between the Eagles and the Chiefs. The 12 best players, nine are probably Eagles."
