http://www.chiefscrowd.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=884&d=1484473553&thumb=1


The Eagles looked awful
in losing to the Cowboys
Monday night, while the
Chiefs are coming off a
turnover-plagued loss to
the Chargers. The Eagles
tried to get into a shootout
with the Cowboys, and it
backfired. They can't do that
here, but they will have no
choice when they are forced
into it. Patrick Mahomes will
get back on track to lead the
Chiefs to a big victory.

Eagles 21

Chargers, Chiefs trying to stay out of AFC West cellar

By DAVE SKRETTA September 23, 2021

Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce are both three-time All-Pro picks and each has won a Super Bowl. The big advantage: Travis is 2-0 against his older brother.

The Kelce brothers face off one more time when the Philadelphia Eagles (1-2) host the Kansas City Chiefs (1-2) on Sunday.

Both teams have lost two in a row so neither brother has room to brag this week.

“There’s hardly much of any trash-talking, especially when we both just we’re coming off two losses each, so I’m pretty sure we’re both just focused on trying to get in the right direction and get back to the winning aspect of football,” Travis said on the AP Pro Football Podcast.

Jason, a four-time Pro Bowl center, is one of only two remaining healthy starters on Philadelphia’s offensive line.

Travis, a six-time Pro Bowl tight end, is in an unfamiliar spot with the two-time defending AFC champion Chiefs, who haven’t had a losing record since Week 10 of the 2015 season.

Jason has to handle ticket requests for friends and family since the Eagles are the home team. Travis is well aware of the reputation of the fans in Philadelphia, but he’s not warning anyone to keep their red jerseys at home.

“Eagles fans have been good to me, the Gang Green has been good to me so maybe if they have an 87 jersey on they might be a little more lenient toward those Chiefs fans in the stands,” he said.

ANDY’S HOMECOMING

While the Kelce brothers have a reunion, Chiefs coach Andy Reid returns to Philadelphia for the second time since he was fired following the 2012 season. Reid has more wins than any coach in Eagles history and he’s 2-0 against his former team. He’s seeking his 100th win with the Chiefs.

“I look forward to coming back, I look forward to the game, I look forward to the challenge of facing the Eagles,” Reid said in his typical stoic fashion.

PATRICK’S MONTH

Patrick Mahomes had been 11-0 with 35 touchdowns and zero interceptions before the Chiefs lost to Baltimore two weeks ago. He threw his first two picks of the month in last week’s loss at the Chargers.

“We’ve kind of dug ourselves a hole,” Mahomes said. “We’ve lost these games we don’t usually lose until later in the season. It’s my first time coming out of September or right at the end of it and not having a winning record so it’s about how we respond. That comes with every single day and how we practice. It comes with how we study the film and at the end of the day it’s how we play on Sundays so I’m for the challenge and I know the guys in the locker room are excited as well.”

ACCOUNTABLE HURTS

Jalen Hurts threw his first two picks of the season in Philadelphia’s 41-21 loss at Dallas on Monday night. One of those was returned for a touchdown and the other was another underthrown deep ball. Hurts finished strong with a pair of TD passes in the second half and 326 yards passing overall. He blamed himself for the loss afterward.

“I don’t think he played his best game, I don’t think he played a bad game,” Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said. “There’s improvement. We all need to improve. When you lose like we lost on Monday night, everybody needs to improve. Everybody needs to look in the mirror, starting with myself. And people are going to look up to Jalen and the things that he says and he does, and he leads by example, so I’m glad that he’s living that way and taking his responsibilities as he needs to. That doesn’t surprise me, though.”

RUN NICK RUN

The Eagles had three runs by their running backs against Dallas. Hurts carried nine times on run-pass option plays, scrambles and broken plays. Miles Sanders gained 24 yards on one of his two carries and has the NFL’s third-best average yards per rush (4.9) since his rookie season in 2019.

He wants the ball without saying it.

“Not necessarily myself, but to have a successful offense you have to run the ball,” he said.

Hurts was more precise.

“He’s a pivotal part of this offense, one of the top running backs in the league,” Hurts said. “He’s got to get his.”

NEW ADDITION

The Chiefs signed former All-Pro wide receiver Josh Gordon this week, but Reid already said he’s not playing against the Eagles. The 30-year-old Gordon led the league with 1,646 yards receiving during the 2013 season in Cleveland. But he struggled with off-the-field issues that led to six suspensions over a span of six years, five of them for some form of substance abuse.

Andy Reid’s homecoming has almost turned into a must-win for the 1-2 Chiefs.

After two consecutive losses for the first time since October 2019, the Kansas City Chiefs (1-2) are traveling to play the Philadelphia Eagles (1-2) to try and get back on track. Like the Chiefs, the Eagles are also coming off two straight losses after a season-opening win.

Aside from the on-field storylines, the biggest story in this game is the opportunity for Chiefs head coach Andy Reid to earn his 100th victory with Kansas City — which would make him the first NFL head coach to win 100 regular-season games for two different franchises.

Fittingly, the other team was the Eagles. Reid will be returning to Philadelphia for the second time since he left; he won the first matchup in 2013 on Thursday Night Football.

For the game itself, here are five things to watch:

1. Relying on the short and intermediate passing game

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/I6Yw7mMkQC5hHE6hv5JtuwKPwpE=/0x0:4547x3176/520x0/filters:focal(0x0:4547x3176):format(webp):no_upsca le()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22893707/usa_today_16834429.jpg

This year, it’s been a common theme of opposing defenses to play deep coverage, eliminating big-play opportunities for the Kansas City offense and forcing them to win by running the ball and completing short passes.

It will be more of the same this week — and maybe the most extreme example we’ve seen. The Eagles’ defense is likely to consistently play two deep safeties, keeping everything in front of them. Philadelphia also has the league’s lowest blitzing rate.

The Chiefs have still succeeded against this strategy — that is, when they haven’t shot themselves in the foot with turnovers — but they may not face another team that will commit to it as much as Philadelphia. Against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3, the Eagles allowed just one completed pass of 20 or more air yards; it was early in the game — and they made sure it didn’t happen again.

But the Cowboys still thrashed them with short and intermediate passes. The Chiefs will be forced to do the same. Since the Eagles’ weakest coverage group is their linebackers, watch for a focus on passing to tight ends; this may be a week where we see a higher volume of passing plays out of 12 and 13 personnel — that is, with two or three tight ends on the field.

2. Defensive line winning in the trenches

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/oCsDnOkObQgpkqWUCWynCYmQ-RA=/0x0:5839x3997/520x0/filters:focal(0x0:5839x3997):format(webp):no_upsca le()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22893712/usa_today_16844691.jpg

I had a similar emphasis on the defensive line against a banged-up Baltimore Ravens’ line in Week 2. In that game, the Chiefs failed to do it, but there’s reason to be more confident about it this time.

The Eagles’ offensive line will be missing their Week 1 starters at left guard, right guard and left tackle. They have quality backups — like former first-round pick Andre Dillard at left tackle — but their offensive system isn’t as well-equipped to make up for it compared to the Ravens.

They’ll try their best — we can expect a heavy emphasis on running the ball and using quarterback Jalen Hurts as a ball carrier by design — but their rushing attack doesn’t have the misdirection and other complexities that helped Baltimore to dominate that matchup.

The Chiefs’ defensive line should have a massive impact on this game. If they don’t, it’s fair to speculate that they’ll never take over a game like we imagined they would during the offseason.

3. The significance of the interior offensive line’s performance

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/1fatB_lb-OV1p44-Eaom4hWGLd0=/0x0:2712x1813/520x0/filters:focal(0x0:2712x1813):format(webp):no_upsca le()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22893715/usa_today_16700138.jpg
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports

It seems like there are mixed opinions on how the Chiefs’ offensive line has played so far. While keeping in mind the defensive lines they’ve faced, I’ve been impressed with the group through three games — but it’s not getting any easier this week.

The Eagles have as disruptive of an interior defensive line duo as exists in the NFL. The one-time All-Pro Fletcher Cox is the big name, but Javon Hargrave has been the more dominant player this season. In fact, he’s been one of the most productive in the NFL: he leads all defensive tackles in sacks (four) and has the sixth-most pressures.

It’ll be another big challenge for the new interior offensive line. Right guard Trey Smith has shown everything you could ask from a rookie; he already has an argument to be the best of the three interior offensive linemen. Along with center Creed Humphrey and left guard Joe Thuney, their success will have a significant impact on the offense as a whole.

The second level of the Eagles’ defense lacks physicality and an attacking mindset against the run. If the Chiefs can neutralize Hargrave and Cox in the running game, running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire could be in for another productive game.

4. Executing pass coverage

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/JVOe2lEx3Tln3RhFP3rItynGGPQ=/0x0:3740x3058/520x0/filters:focal(0x0:3740x3058):format(webp):no_upsca le()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22845889/usa_today_16743474.jpg
Jay Biggerstaff-USA TODAY Sports

Against the Los Angeles Chargers, Chiefs defenders struggled to cover receivers — making life easier for quarterback Justin Herbert. On Sunday, they’ll face some young, talented pass catchers — but no one that should be too much to handle.

A bounce-back performance from the Kansas City secondary will also help the Chiefs’ pass rushers — the linemen didn’t have their greatest day against Los Angeles — but some of the times they did beat blockers, Herbert had the ball out very quickly. If the coverage can hold up a little longer against the Eagles, a player like Chris Jones should be able to take advantage of Philadelphia’s beat-up offensive line.

Jalen Hurts has also struggled as a traditional dropback passer; against Dallas in Week 3, he had a few bad throws that turned into game-changing interceptions. After not forcing a turnover last week, the Chiefs’ defensive backs should have a chance to get some — as long as they properly execute their coverages.

5. Eliminating mistakes

https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/vC0x_GIZ3e_ys3EBdD3cDYOjnNE=/0x0:4493x3011/520x0/filters:focal(0x0:4493x3011):format(webp):no_upsca le()/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/22893723/usa_today_16832964.jpg
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports

There isn’t much that needs to be said about the Chiefs’ string of giveaways over the last two weeks. Players know they need to be safer with the ball in their hands; it’s an aspect of the game that can be fixed quickly.

The defense won’t be perfect; they’ve proven that so far this year. But the offense cannot continue to put them in bad positions by constantly committing turnovers. If the defense was a stronger unit, they might be able to get away with it — but as an offensive juggernaut, the offense needs to help out the defense as much as possible.

If Kansas City can eliminate turnovers, it’s not likely to be much of a contest.

[TopekaRoy]

The Chiefs need to get Coach Reid his 100th Chiefs win today. Last week's loss literally made him sick. For the sake of his health we can't risk another L.

Go Chiefs!

[matthewschiefs]

Next week at this time I will be on the way to KC

Lets hope I am heading there in a good mood after a W

By the Way Roy you Royally Cheesed off my Mother with your little Fake Champion Picture at the Start, She had a few expletive's for you. She worships the ground Sly walks on. So good job.

:lol: I love Sly and the Rocky films were great (most of them), but Rocky is not a real person. I'm pretty sure Stallone is, though.

[TopekaRoy]

Expletive's for Roy is nothing new


:sign0053: It's really nice to be appreciated around here. ;)

[matthewschiefs]

D got lucky that was overthrown

Good lord guys

[matthewschiefs]

You know you are terrible at your job on defense when pretty much everyone goes for it on 4th down

[TopekaRoy]

Chiefs D is selling out against the run and now they can't stop the pass. It would be nice if they could do both.

[matthewschiefs]

Chiefs D is selling out against the run and now they can't stop the pass. It would be nice if they could do both.

I would settle for them being able to do one of those things

[TopekaRoy]

You know you are terrible at your job on defense when pretty much everyone goes for it on 4th down

I don't know if they were just trying to get the Chiefs to jump offsides or if they accidentally ran out of time.

[TopekaRoy]

Well, 3 is not so bad as long as we come away with 7. It could've been worse.

Don't turn the ball over!

[matthewschiefs]

I don't know if they were just trying to get the Chiefs to jump offsides or if they accidentally ran out of time.

I think they were going for it. They never really looked settled to even try to fake a snap

[matthewschiefs]

LOL Just a bit of a jump there

I'll take the 1st down

[matthewschiefs]

I'll never understand why when we have Mahomes we have to try to be cute on offense

[TopekaRoy]

I'll never understand why when we have Mahomes we have to try to be cute on offense

This! You can beat them with the basics. No need to get fancy/risky.

[matthewschiefs]

HILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though that will be overturned but still a great pick up

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown, Kaaansaas City!

[TopekaRoy]

Almost ...

[matthewschiefs]

Now it's a TD

Good start offense

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown, Kaaansaas City!

This!

[Seek]

Is there even a defense out there

[matthewschiefs]

Is there even a defense out there

Good question

[matthewschiefs]

Like a hot knife through warm butter

[TopekaRoy]

Reid should've challenged that fumble. It was really close.

[TopekaRoy]

Failed to get a stop on a 4th down again. But I think the Eagles pretty much have to go for it because they know they can't keep up with just FGs.

[matthewschiefs]

HOLD ON TO THE FING BALL

They are making this season very stressful

[TopekaRoy]

At least they didn't turn it over this time.

[TopekaRoy]

I thought so. Not challenging that Eagles fumble cost us 7 points.

[TopekaRoy]

Get it together, offense. Two dumb penalties in a row.

[TopekaRoy]

Mahome's magic overcame it though.

[matthewschiefs]

What a grab by Hill

[matthewschiefs]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we have to pray because the alleged Defense will be back on the field

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown, Hill!

Now the defense needs to step up.

[TopekaRoy]

Why do they call it "Bud Light Seltzer" when it's not light and it's not Budweiser? It's not even beer!

[matthewschiefs]

PICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for doing something

[matthewschiefs]

Sigh that's going to be overturned false alarm of having a defense maybe

[TopekaRoy]

We needed that INT.

[TopekaRoy]

Sigh that's going to be overturned false alarm of having a defense maybe

https://i.imgflip.com/3anki8.jpg

[matthewschiefs]

Defense can't even get set up right.

COACHING ISSUES

[Seek]

so sick of seeing Sorensen being on the back end of a horrible play

[TopekaRoy]

Horrible tackling.

[matthewschiefs]

Ben Niemann would be good if he could you know tackle

[TopekaRoy]

Ben Niemann would be good if he could you know tackle

Yeah, that's pretty important for a defensive player!

[TopekaRoy]

Defense kept them out of the end zone. That's at least a small positive to take away.

[matthewschiefs]

Yeah, that's pretty important for a defensive player!


He'll make a good read but then miss what should have been a tackle for a loss. It's frustrating

[matthewschiefs]

I am LOVING the running the ball. THANK YOU

[matthewschiefs]

The less time you leave them the better

[matthewschiefs]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now just don't give them any points before half. Have a huge chance to really get control this game

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown Fossett!

[TopekaRoy]

If we can go into the locker room up 8 and start the 2nd half with a TD, we'll be in good shape.

[matthewschiefs]

They are going to let them score aren't they

[TopekaRoy]

Bootle making his presence known!

[TopekaRoy]

Already in FG range!

[matthewschiefs]

WOW How did we not get that ball UGH even when the D does something good they somehow leave you wanting more.

But at least we are up 8 going into the half

[TopekaRoy]

WOW How did we not get that ball UGH even when the D does something good they somehow leave you wanting more.

But at least we are up 8 going into the half
He saw all that green in front of him and got greedy. Just fall on the ball. Let the offense do the scoring. That's their JOB.

[Chiefster]

Wow! Can't believe we're actually leading at the half! Maybe I need to not see them play more often.

[TopekaRoy]

Wow! Can't believe we're actually leading at the half! Maybe I need to not see them play more often.
If that's the case, I hope you're not watching the 2nd half! You can watch it later on-demand.
:lol:

[Chiefster]

He saw all that green in front of him and got greedy. Just fall on the ball. Let the offense do the scoring. That's their JOB.
Exactly!

[TopekaRoy]

Our O line needs to do a better job of pass protection. We can't have Patrick getting hurt.

[matthewschiefs]

UGH and a turnover UGH

[TopekaRoy]

Interception!

[Chiefster]

Update please. I'm on the road or I would be watching. LOL!

[TopekaRoy]

Eagles first and goal on the 7 yd line.

[Chiefster]

Ofcourse.

[matthewschiefs]

You have got to be kidding me

[Chiefster]

What?

[TopekaRoy]

4th down on the 6 yd line. Eagles kick 22 yd FG. Flag on the play.

[matthewschiefs]

I don't know what the Eagles are complaing about that was Clear OPI

[matthewschiefs]

Held to 3 lets get back to running the offense we ran in the 1st half

[TopekaRoy]

Offsides penalty on the Chiefs put the ball on the 3 and Eagles went for TD. They scored, but offensive PI took it off.

FG unit back on the field .

[TopekaRoy]

NOW, they kicked the FG.
Chiefs 21
Eagles 16

[Chiefster]

Victory for the defense.

[matthewschiefs]

Finish this drive answer their 3 with 7

[TopekaRoy]

Chiefs seem to be running the ball better, today. They need a good mix of run and pass.

[matthewschiefs]

KEEP RUNNING THE BALL ANDY

It is really working

[matthewschiefs]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is this offense running the ball :)

[TopekaRoy]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is this offense running the ball :)
Take what the defense gives ya.

Smart!

[TopekaRoy]

Chiefs have a 12 point lead.
28-16.

[matthewschiefs]

And now ST can't even tackle

[TopekaRoy]

Looks like our offense is gonna have to keep scoring touchdowns, today.

[matthewschiefs]

BS his foot was still in bounds

[TopekaRoy]

Bogus penalty.

[matthewschiefs]

SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now we wait to see if they call that late to

[matthewschiefs]

Starting to get to Hurts a little only problem is the CB's cant cover anyone

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown Eagles.
Defense folds again.

[TopekaRoy]

We need a long scoring drive, here. Our defense needs the rest. Not that it'll do them any good, but it'll give the Eagles less time to get two TDs.

[matthewschiefs]

Kelce should be mad that was clear PI

[TopekaRoy]

Nelson should've been flagged for PI there.

[TopekaRoy]

Keep chewing up the clock and keep getting those first downs!

[TopekaRoy]

Good scramble by Patrick.

[matthewschiefs]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much needed because the D can't stop them

[TopekaRoy]

TOUCHDOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Much needed because the D can't stop them
That's good but there's still almost 7 minutes left. I was hoping to get the clock under 4:00.

[TopekaRoy]

More missed tackles.

[Chiefster]

Common Chiefs figure things out!

[matthewschiefs]

SACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Come on D DO SOMETHING

[matthewschiefs]

[TopekaRoy]

Caught a break on the penalty. Chiefs could've been called for PI.

I am not sure how we are supposed to act

[Chiefster]

WOOT! Will miracles never cease!

Caught a break on the penalty. Chiefs could've been called for PI.

Both guys were grabbing the others jerseys so both could have been called they call nothing in that case

[TopekaRoy]

Touchdown, Hill!
Even our defense should be able to hold them under 19 points in 2:30!

[TopekaRoy]

... and if the Eagles score right away, we get the ball again!

[Chiefster]

OR just throw a TD to Hill again that works to :)

Nice!

[TopekaRoy]

And the Chiefs give up another TD with 4 seconds left.

I think we'll be okay, though.

[TopekaRoy]

Chiefs make Andy Reid the first coach in NFL history to get at least 100 wins with two different teams.
