Standouts

S Andrew Mukuba

Mukuba had the play of the game, intercepting Patrick Mahomes in the end zone and returning it 41 yards, setting up an Eagles touchdown to put them ahead two scores.

WR DeVonta Smith

Smith had a huge, 28-yard grab on 3rd-and-10, putting the Eagles at the 4-yard line. He finished the game with four catches for 53 yards.

DT Jordan Davis

Davis had another stellar performance, batting two passes at the line of scrimmage and providing some pressure.

DE Za'Darius Smith

Smith made an immediate impact in his Eagles debut, combining with Andrew Mukuba for a sack and adding multiple pressures and a tackle for loss. Smith brings a veteran presence to the defensive line and proved on Sunday he's ready to contribute right away.

These two teams have combined to win the last three Super Bowls. Sunday's matchup marks the first time in NFL history, according to Elias Sports Bureau, that an AFC and an NFC team have met in five consecutive seasons, including playoffs. The Eagles and the Chiefs have split the last four meetings, who will emerge victorious on Sunday?

Up Next

The Eagles return to Lincoln Financial Field where they face the Los Angeles Rams at 1 PM on Sunday. The Rams are 2-0 after their 33-19 win over the Titans.

It's the first road trip of the regular season as the Eagles are in Kansas City to take on the Chiefs. Looking at these outfits, it's Fly, Eagles Fly indeed.
