In an intense Monday Night Football showdown, the Philadelphia Eagles came out on top with a 21-17 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. This victory marked coach Andy Reid's first loss to his former team and center Jason Kelce's first win against his brother, Travis Kelce. Despite the significance of the game and the revenge factor, the Eagles approached it as just another step in their journey to the 2023 season.

The Eagles managed to secure the win through a gritty performance, overcoming challenges from the Chiefs' defense. The Chiefs' defensive tackle Chris Jones faced double-teams on 70% of his pass rushes and still managed to generate four pressures and two sacks. However, the Eagles' quarterback Jalen Hurts was sacked five times in the first half. The Eagles' defense, which had been the best rushing defense in the league, struggled against the Chiefs' run game, allowing 121 yards in the first half alone.

Despite the challenges, the Eagles now hold the best record in football at 9-1. With the Super Bowl rematch behind them, the team is focused on securing the top seed in the NFC and making a return trip to the championship game. The Eagles have proven their capability against playoff-caliber teams like the Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys, and now the Chiefs, making them a top contender in the NFL.
