Hurts runs for a pair of touchdowns, including a go-ahead tush-push score in the fourth quarter, and the Eagles erase a 10-point halftime deficit for a 21-17 win. Kansas City’s Marquez Valdes-Scantling has a would-be 51-yard touchdown pass slip through his hands late.
— Jalen Hurts ran for a pair of touchdowns, including a go-ahead tush-push score in the fourth quarter, and the Philadelphia Eagles rallied from a 10-point halftime deficit to beat the Kansas City Chiefs, 21-17, in a Super Bowl rematch Monday night.
The Eagles (9-1) insisted all week that they were not out for revenge for their 38-35 loss in February, but Nick Sirianni’s bunch exacted a bit of it anyway. They shut out Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs (7-3) in the second half while defeating former coach Andy Reid for the first time in five games since he was fired by Philadelphia and landed in Kansas City.
Eagles center Jason Kelce also got the best of little brother Travis Kelce for the first time. The Chiefs tight end could have used some luck from pop star and love interest Taylor Swift, who had to miss the game – he fumbled the ball away in the red zone in the fourth quarter when Kansas City was trying to extend a 17-14 lead.
The Chiefs still had a chance with less than two minutes to go, converting on fourth down and then getting help from a roughing-the-passer penalty.
