"Earlier in the calendar year, the Eagles won their second-ever Super Bowl with a lopsided 40-22 victory over the two-time reigning champions. That win came two years after the Chiefs defeated the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. Sunday's game also made this season the fifth straight in which the two played one another. It was the first time since the 1970 merger that an NFC team and a AFC team met for that many consecutive seasons."
"Naturally, a rivalry has developed between the two after playing in so many high-stakes games in recent memory. At the end of the fourth quarter, the Eagles held a 20-17 lead and we in the process of kneeling the ball down to drain the final seconds of the clock. As Hurts did that, however, Chiefs star defensive tackle Chris Jones had some words for the QB. You didn't even have a hundred yards!"
"Sunday's game was largely a defensive one. Hurts finished 15 of 22 passing for just 101 yards. While Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was 16 of 29 for 187 yards, a large chunk of that yardage came at the end of the game when his team trailed the Eagles by multiple scores and the offensive became more pass-heavy. For the most part, both QBs were kept in check."
The Philadelphia Eagles beat the Kansas City Chiefs 20-17 in a defensive matchup framed as a Super Bowl rematch. The Eagles earlier won their second Super Bowl 40-22 over the Chiefs, who had beaten Philadelphia two years earlier in Super Bowl LVII. The teams have met five consecutive seasons, the first time since the 1970 merger an NFC and AFC team have done so. Late in the fourth quarter, as the Eagles knelt to run out the clock, Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones shouted about Hurts' yardage. Hurts responded by referencing the scoreboard and telling Jones to shut up. Both quarterbacks were largely kept in check; Hurts finished 15-of-22 for 101 yards and Mahomes was 16-of-29 for 187 yards.
