Overview

  • Kickoff is Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET on FOX at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, with Philadelphia entering 1-0 and Kansas City 0-1.
  • Sportsbooks list the Eagles as slight road favorites (around -1 to -1.5), and Patrick Mahomes enters as a rare home underdog.
  • Chiefs receiving corps remains thin with Rashee Rice serving game two of a six-game suspension and rookie Xavier Worthy rehabbing a dislocated shoulder after missing Wednesday’s practice.
  • Mahomes said it will take Kansas City’s “best football” to beat Philadelphia, crediting the Eagles’ defense that disrupted his timing in the Super Bowl.
  • Philadelphia’s pass rush gets a boost as DT Jalen Carter is available after serving a one-game suspension, while TE Dallas Goedert (knee) did not practice Wednesday and LG Landon Dickerson (back) was limited.
