PHI is not that great vs. the run, though I doubt Ady will spend a ton of snaps trying to expose that weakness. But they're also not very good vs. TEs, which is interesting.
Sidenote: Vic Fangio is PHI defensive consultant.
You have to think they're going to do everything they can to lock Travis down, though exactly how remains a mystery. I expect Fangio will have much to say about that.
Obviously KC needs to effectively shut down their run game in the first half and force Jalen to move the ball and score efficiently as a passer, something he hasn't been very good at since returning from his shoulder injury.
you look at his statlines from the last couple games, and he's basically Ryan Tannehill from the 2019 AFCCG or Jimmy G./SBLIV, two QBs that struggled to be efficient through the air in the playoffs and relied heavily on their respective run games to win their playoff games before running into the Chiefs. Not saying that Jalen is as average as Tannehill/Jimmy, but that injury might be a bigger issue than most are considering.
