Eagles–Chiefs Rematch Tops Week 2 as Kansas City Deals With Key Absences

Short-handed receivers and pass protection questions frame Kansas City’s approach.

Overview

  • The Chiefs enter the Super Bowl 59 rematch without Rashee Rice due to suspension and with Xavier Worthy uncertain because of a shoulder issue, narrowing Patrick Mahomes’ options.
  • Mahomes’ protection remains under scrutiny after a career‑high six sacks by Philadelphia in the Super Bowl and 15 pressures in Kansas City’s Week 1 loss.
  • The Eagles carry a seven‑game winning streak into Arrowhead and get defensive tackle Jalen Carter back following his spitting incident.
  • NFL Research reports Week 1’s average margin of victory was 7.56 points, signaling another weekend likely defined by close games.
  • Indianapolis seeks its first 2-0 start since 2009 after Daniel Jones posted a 115.9 passer rating in Week 1, while Miami’s week features public criticism of Tua Tagovailoa from Mike McDaniel and an NFL review of new allegations involving Tyreek Hill.
