But yes, it's simply a matter of fact that your defense just has not been tested by an elite offense.

And no, the Eagles simply haven't been in nearly as many big games as the Chiefs have. Not this season, and not last.

I'm sorry that you don't like that answer, but that is a truth. Believe it or not, there are in fact things that DO work in the Chiefs favor.

Now, it doesn't mean the Eagles aren't a great team. They obviously are. But the Eagles haven't seen anything like the Chiefs all year.

Your defense doesn't scare me. Not that it isn't good, it is. But it's hard to be scared of a defense when you have a QB who's made a career out of slaying #1 ranked defenses. I don't think i need to argue on behalf of Mahomes here.

Offensively, ya'll are loaded. More loaded than we are, that's for sure. It'll be a tough task to ask of our defense. A defense that has NEVER gotten the respect it deserves. It'll start with the run game. Your offense really runs through Hurts' ability to run. If the Chiefs can neutralize that, which is a lot easier to do on an injured Hurts, it changes the fundamental way your offense operates. And our much maligned defense, is actually pretty damn good at keying on what you do best, and making you beat us another way.

We'll see. Again, two teams who's players have a lot of love and respect for one another. It should be fun.

The Chiefs under Spagnuolo are really one of the few teams to bottle up Lamar. It will be interesting to see how the Eagles pass to setup the runs. Because they're not going to be successful just running RPO all the time.
