Someone please explain it to me because this isn't supposed to be possible. The Chiefs have invested a tone of money in free agency and it seems like a poor choice. I like Chris Hones however he's an aging player that is costing a lot of money. Unfortunately, I see the Chiefs having a lot of cap issues moving forward.

Eagles really haven't done anything wild. Their LT is a 7th round pick. LG and C are 2nd rounders. Becton at RG was a 1st rounder for the Jets but Philly signed him for less than $3 million this year. Lane Johnson at RT was drafted by Chip Kelly so that tells you how long they've had him.

Interesting, the Chiefs has spent a lot of money on their OL and it looked bad at every position tonight. Yet the Eagles are able to build a dominant OL that gave Hurts time. So, it's scouting and coaching?

So frustrating to watch a team rush 4 and get instant pressure. I was expecting the Chiefs to chip with a TE to slow the rush however it never happened.

Never even tried to run when it was clear the OL was struggling in pass blocking.

The Chiefs really over-achieved this year, as difficult as it will be to watch, I believe they really need a couple of down years to get some better picks and get the underachieving players off the roster.
