Chiefs receivers’ inability to catch anything vs. Eagles blows up on social media

The Kansas City Chiefs’ receivers couldn’t hold onto anything on Monday night against the Eagles, and social media had… jokes.

The Kansas City Chiefs had this one in the bag.

Up 17-7 at the half against the Philadelphia Eagles in their Super Bowl LVII rematch on Monday night, the Chiefs went back on the field for the second half of the game and promptly got themselves shut out in the second half… which is not an unusual occurrence these days.

Kansas City’s offense has been a problem all season long, and Patrick Mahomes’ receivers were certainly Reason No. 1 in this game, an eventual 21-17 win in Philly’s favor. Over and over, Mahomes made pinpoint throws to his receivers, and over and over, those receivers failed to bring the ball in.

After the game, Mahomes tried to take the blame, as any responsible quarterback will do.

But stuff like this just doesn’t work. Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s drop — one of five in the game for Mahomes’ receivers — was the worst of the night.

Not that MVS was the only issue.

The Chiefs now lead the league with 26 receiver drops on the season, six more than the New York Jets. Mahomes finished the night with 24 completions on 43 attempts for

Not what you would expect from this particular offense. Frustration from social media was palpable.

Three bets and one parlay to make in the Eagles-Chiefs game

The Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) take on the Kansas City Chiefs (7-2) in a primetime Super Bowl rematch showdown on Monday night.

The Philadelphia Eagles (8-1) take on the Kansas City Chiefs (7-2) in a primetime Super Bowl rematch showdown on Monday night. Besides the many storylines surrounding this game all week, this may be quite a fun game to bet on since both teams are atop the NFL right now.

BetMGM has the Chiefs winning the game at (-150) odds, while the Eagles are (+125) underdogs. Check out great bets and a parlay ahead of the primetime matchup.

T. Kelce Anytime TD

I think even with Taylor Swift not at the game, Kelce is still going to find a way to score. This bet almost feels like a lock for the Chiefs each week, but particularly against their Super Bowl rival, Kelce is going to find the end zone at some point.

D. Smith Anytime TD

Because A.J. Brown thrived lately, the Chiefs are going to be scheming against stopping him. While Brown is (potentially) locked down, Hurts will have to look to his other unstoppable wide receiver, DeVonta Smith, for a touchdown during the game.

Over 45.5 Total Points

Let’s be real. This game will either be really back-and-forth or both defenses will show up to the plate. This over is certainly going to hit if it’s anything like the Super Bowl, where both teams put up at least 35+ points each.

Jenn’s Philly-Philly Parlay (+130, BetMGM)

J. Hurts 1+ Passing TDs

D. Swift O 44.5 Rushing Yards

A.J. Brown O 69.5 Receiving Yards

Super Bowl LVII: How the Eagles cornerbacks can limit the Chiefs’ passing game

How can the Eagles’ outstanding cornerbacks best counter the Chiefs’ passing game in Super Bowl LVII? Laurie Fitzpatrick goes to the tape.

There is a reason why the Philadelphia Eagles are considered to have a shutdown defense. Behind their pass rush, they have arguably the best secondary in the NFL. Most successful defenses are anchored by cornerbacks on the outside.

They went from having the12th ranked pass defense DVOA (3.6%) in weeks 10-14, to the 4th ranked (-25.4%) from week 15 through the NFC Championship game. In their last three games, they’ve had the highest score differential in the league, at +20.3.

Their cornerbacks are a big reason for this!

In matchups including Brandon Aiyuk, Justin Jefferson, Terry McLaurin and in their last matchup against Darius Slayton, the Eagles’ cornerbacks have only allowed eleven receptions for 138 yards.

Let’s dive into the film and see how the Eagles might plan to defend Patrick Mahomes and limit the Kansas City Chiefs high-flying offense.

VIDEO: How will Patrick Mahomes deal with the Eagles’ historic pass rush in Super Bowl LVII?

Super Bowl LVII features a great matchup in the Chiefs’ offense vs the Eagles’ killer pass rush. Doug Farrar and Luke Easterling discuss.

In this week’s episode of “4-Down Territory,” powered by KIA, Touchdown Wire’s Doug Farrar and Luke Easterling of Bucs Wire and Draft Wire discuss how the Kansas City Chiefs’ top-tier offense will deal in Super Bowl LVII with the Philadelphia Eagles’ historically great pass rush, and the rest of that great defense.

This Super Bowl marks the third time in NFL history that the passing yards leader will take on the NFL’s No. 1 pass defense, at least by conventional metrics. The last two times did not go well at all for the prolific quarterbacks – the Seahawks beat the brakes off Peyton Manning and the Broncos in Super Bowl 48, and the Buccaneers vivisected Rich Gannon and the Raiders in Super Bowl 37. Now, we have Mahomes against the Eagles’ defense. How does Mahomes overcome this historical deficit when he takes the field against the Eagles? 

Doug: The matchup I’m most concerned about for the Chiefs is Philly’s ridiculous pass rush (especially Haason Reddick, who basically stole the deed to San Francisco in the NFC Championship game) against Kansas City offensive tackles Orlando Brown Jr. and Andrew Wylie, who have been vulnerable all season to pressure off the edge. That vulnerability has shown up especially against guys like Reddick, who can win on the back half of the arc to the pocket,and that is Brown’s Kryptonite in particular. If Mahomes can overcome that with pocket movement and second-reaction plays with however much he’s able to recover from the high ankle sprain over the next two weeks, things might be okay. Otherwise, we could be looking at a replay of Super Bowl 55, when the Buccaneers’ pass rush gave Kansas City’s explosive offense no chance to explode.

And speaking of bad blocking plans, the Chiefs should not try to block Reddick with tight ends and receivers, as the 49ers did. That was suboptimal for them.

Luke: I think Isiah Pacheco is going to be the key here. The Chiefs have GOT to run the ball consistently and effectively if they want to win this game. It’ll take pressure off Mahomes, set up some big plays down the field by luring the Eagles defense down into the box, and he can make big plays in the screen game to punish that aggressive pass rush, as well. Keeping Jalen Hurts and the Eagles off the field as much as possible, and not allowing them to dominate time of possession, will be critical. That’ll come down to the running game for KC.
