Jason Kelce and Jalen Hurts were among the Philly players who noted the offense didn’t perform to expectations, despite the victory in Kansas City.
— Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce got his first professional win against brother Travis Kelce and his old coach Andy Reid, but he and some of his teammates left Arrowhead Stadium feeling less than satisfied following a 21-17 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl LVII rematch on Monday night.
«Listen, I’m really happy. I would have probably been happier if we would have put together a really dominant performance offensively and played great. I think the fact that we didn’t do that makes it a littler bittersweet,» Kelce said. «I think the defense is largely why we won the game today. Hats off to those guys, and I’m certainly happy to be 9-1.»
With wind and rain a steady presence throughout the night, neither passing offense fared particularly well. Jalen Hurts threw for 150 yards and an interception and was sacked five times while Patrick Mahomes went for 177 yards with two touchdowns and a pick.
Hurts breathed life into Philly’s passing game midway through the fourth quarter when he hit DeVonta Smith for a 41-yard completion down the right sideline, setting up a Hurts rushing score — his second of the night — to put the Eagles ahead for good.
