"Mahomes was sacked twice in that defeat, a marked improvement from the Super Bowl, which saw him suffer six sacks at the hands of a ferocious Eagles defensive front. Yet the offensive improvements the Chiefs hope to make in 2025 were not apparent in Week 1 and, with star defensive tackle Jalen Carter avoiding any further suspension for his conduct against the Cowboys, the Eagles will be confident of disrupting Mahomes once again."
"Carter was ejected before a ball was snapped in the Eagles' season opener for spitting on Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. The NFL deemed that his ejection in essence marked a one-game suspension, but issued him with a fine of $57,222. The former first-round pick will be keen to make amends and wreck Kansas City's hopes of bouncing back, and the Eagles will also have a new veteran presence on the defensive line after they signed Za'Darius Smith last Friday."
Seven months after their Super Bowl win, the Philadelphia Eagles meet the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead in a high-profile rematch. The Eagles beat the Chiefs 40-22 in the Super Bowl and will test Kansas City's ability to rebound following a Week 1 loss in Brazil. Patrick Mahomes was pressured frequently in both games, with six sacks in the Super Bowl and two in Week 1. Jalen Carter avoided further suspension after an ejection and was fined, while Za'Darius Smith adds veteran depth to Philadelphia's defensive front. Kansas City adjusted its offensive line and faces uncertainty at wide receiver with injuries to Xavier Worthy and rookie Jalen Royals.
