Hurts-to-Smith Clutch Play Lifts Eagles Over Chiefs in Arrowhead Rematch

The late third-and-long completion echoed their Super Bowl chemistry, highlighting Philadelphia’s late-game composure that left Kansas City 0-2 for the first time since 2014.

Overview

  • Jalen Hurts hit DeVonta Smith for a 28-yard gain on third-and-10, setting up a 1-yard quarterback sneak that pushed Philadelphia ahead 20-10 with 7:48 remaining.
  • The official gamebook noted Smith was shaken on a third-and-8 attempt earlier in the half after landing on his back, yet he returned to make the decisive catch.
  • After Patrick Mahomes’ 49-yard touchdown narrowed the gap, the Eagles secured the onside kick with about three minutes left and ran out the clock.
  • Coach Nick Sirianni called the Hurts-to-Smith throw a huge play, crediting the communication and poise between the quarterback and his receivers against a pressure look.
  • Key moments included Andrew Mukuba’s 41-yard interception return, Saquon Barkley’s 13-yard score, Jake Elliott field goals from 58 and 51 yards, Hurts converting multiple short-yardage sneaks, and a final line of 15-of-22 for 101 yards with nine rushes for 15.
