The Philadelphia Eagles got to prove to the Kansas City Chiefs that Super Bowl 59 was no fluke. Philadelphia went into Arrowhead Stadium and walked away with a 20-17 victory. The entire game was back and forth with both teams proving they’re still championship contenders.
However, Jalen Hurts couldn’t help himself as time was winding down.

In a video circulating online, Hurts can be heard talking directly to defensive lineman Chris Jones:

Once again, the Philadelphia Eagles prevailed against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 2 of the regular season. By winning 20-17, the Eagles improved to 2-0 on the season, while the Chiefs fell to 0-2 on the season:
Unlike the Super Bowl, this was a close and competitive game throughout. The biggest difference between the two teams on this day was the game’s only turnover. The turnover was the result of a juggled pass by Travis Kelce that was picked off by Eagles safety Andrew Mukuba. The pick set up a Jalen Hurts touchdown, which would eventually be the difference in the game.
Down 20-10 late, Patrick Mahomes gave the Chiefs hope with a 49-yard bomb to Tyquan Thornton. But it was too little, too late, as the Eagles chewed up the rest of the game clock after Hurts converted on yet another quarterback sneak.
The game’s first touchdown was courtesy of Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, whose 13-yard scamper was longer than any of his carries in the Super Bowl. The Chiefs responded with a touchdown run by Mahomes before both teams traded field goals to end the first half.
Here are the biggest takeaways from Sunday’s game.
While they were down 13-10, the Chiefs appeared to have momentum at the start of the fourth quarter. Mahomes was finding his rhythm and had Kansas City in position to take the lead.
But the 14-play, 74-yard drive that took over eight minutes off the clock ended with Kelce juggling Mahomes’ pass in the end zone. The pass was instead secured by Mukuba, who would have likely scored on the play if not for an incredible play by Chiefs rookie tackle Josh Simmons.

A big question heading into the game was whether or not the Chiefs’ defense would once again focus on containing Barkley while forcing Hurts to beat them. The Chiefs decided to focus on Hurts this time, and while the strategy worked for a while, Barkley and the rest of the Eagles’ offense ultimately prevailed.
Sans his touchdown run, Barkley was a forgotten man in the first half, gaining 30 yards on six carries and catching two passes for six yards. In the second half, though, the Eagles fed their 2,000-yard back, who responded with a hard-earned 58 yards on 16 carries.
All told, Barkley ran for 88 yards on 22 carries, seven months after rushing for 57 yards on 25 carries in the Super Bowl. While Sunday wasn’t his best day from a statistical standpoint, it was nonetheless a vintage performance from the NFL’s best running back against one of the league’s better defenses.
