Yes, both defenses are improved from last year, but the Chiefs much more so than the Eagles. I'd still expect a shoot-out if both offenses are healthy, and that is the big unknown going into the game. My thinking is Hurts' shoulder is the real key, more so than Mahomes' lingering ankle injury or our WRs injuries. If Hurts is not throwing darts on the move, how do they win?

Hurts looked very good throwing the ball that game, shoulder could be the difference this year, but the bigger factor is we have improved the secondary by leaps and bounds.Hughes played the entire game, Baker played, Ward was ok. None of them could hold McDuffie's jock even as a rookie, and I think it's clear that J Watson is better than Ward, and light years better than Hughes and Baker.
