Eagles Beat Chiefs 20-17 After Mukuba’s Late Pick, Hot-Mic Clash Caps Rematch

Kansas City fell to 0-2, marking the first three-game skid of Patrick Mahomes’ career.

Overview

  • Rookie Andrew Mukuba intercepted a Patrick Mahomes pass that deflected off Travis Kelce near the goal line and returned it 41 yards to set up a 10-play drive ending in a tush-push touchdown.
  • Field microphones captured Chris Jones telling Jalen Hurts, “You didn’t even have 100 yards,” and Hurts responding, “We won the f------ game, shut your ass up,” as Philadelphia knelt out the clock.
  • Jalen Hurts went 15-of-22 for 101 yards with nine rushes for 15 yards and a touchdown, while Saquon Barkley ran 22 times for 88 yards and a score.
  • Philadelphia moved to 2-0 as Kansas City dropped to 0-2, the franchise’s worst start since 2014 and its first three-game slide in the Mahomes era including last season’s Super Bowl.
  • The Eagles leaned on defense and short-yardage execution, with Vic Fangio’s unit holding the Chiefs to 294 yards and producing the game’s lone turnover as the frequently debated tush push remained a key weapon after an offseason effort to ban it fell short.
