Obviously the guy is a stud given the sheer numbers he's put up this year. But the Rams kept him bottled up except for those two plays and Jaylen also had a 44 yard TD. Maybe that's a bad sample game to look at?

I actually like how KCs defense matches up to the Eagles offense. KC can commit more to stopping the run because they have a secondary that can hold up well in coverage. It can’t be understated that McDuffie, Karlaftis, Williams, Watson, Cook, and Chenel were all rookies in the 22 Super Bowl. They have all improved and all of that experience will continue to pay dividends in this game.
On offense if they can keep Mahomes upright and limit turnovers they should be able to move the ball well as Reid is very familiar with the Fangio defense. They will just have to punch it in when they get into the red zone vs settling for FGs. Hope they really utilize Hopkins and his ability to catch almost anything down there in this game.
