"Mahomes had another strong performance, but the unit made plenty of unforced errors. The Chiefs struggled in short-yardage plays, some of Mahomes' passes were batted down and the play calls from coach Andy Reid didn't help his quarterback when the Eagles blitzed 11 times. And yet, the Chiefs were just six yards away from taking a 17-13 lead early in the fourth quarter."
"We got the defense that we wanted, I threw it just a tad too early, just trying to put it on [Kelce's] body low before that [defender] got there. If I can put it more on his body and not so far out in front, then he can catch it and take the hit and get in the end zone."
Kansas City began the season 0-2 for the first time under Patrick Mahomes after a 20-17 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in a Super Bowl rematch. Defensive linemen reviewed certain plays in the locker room, including the Eagles' Tush Push. Linebackers Nick Bolton and Leo Chenal said they were pissed while wide receiver Hollywood Brown blamed a lack of execution and urged all 11 players to get on the same page. The Chiefs struggled in short-yardage plays, had passes batted down, and faced play-call issues against frequent Eagles blitzes. A 14-play drive ended when a Mahomes pass deflected off Travis Kelce into Andrew Mukuba's hands for a 41-yard interception return.
