WATCH: Chiefs DB L’Jarius Sneed intercepts Eagles QB Jalen Hurts on MNF

#Chiefs DB L’Jarius Sneed intercepted #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts in the second quarter of Kansas City’s Week 11 matchup against Philadelphia.

The Kansas City Chiefs defense came up big in the second quarter of the team’s Week 11 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles when defensive back L’Jarius Sneed intercepted Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts.

The play came as the Eagles were driving downfield when Hurts seemed to have a lapse of judgment when targeting star receiver A.J. Brown downfield. Sneed jumped Brown’s route to get in a position to make a play on the ball and managed to make a clean catch to give Kansas City the ball with a chance to take the lead.

Take a look at Sneed’s outstanding snag:

This interception gave the Chiefs the upper hand in the Super Bowl LVII rematch on Monday Night Football and may prove to be consequential as the game wears on.

Expect Sneed to continue making his presence felt against the Eagles’ high-octane offense as Kansas City looks to earn its eighth win of the 2023 season in primetime.

Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman questionable to return vs. Eagles

#Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman is questionable to return against the Philadelphia #Eagles in Week 11.

The Kansas City Chiefs may be without one of their most electric playmakers after the team announced that receiver Mecole Hardman is questionable to return against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11.

Hardman injured his thumb in the fast-paced first quarter of the Super Bowl LVII rematch. In his absence, Kansas City is likely to lean on its depth at the receiver position, namely veterans Kadarius Toney, Justin Watson, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

While this injury is sure to play a factor in the Chiefs’ offensive attack, reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes should still have plenty of help as Kansas City looks to earn its eighth win of the 2023 season against Philadelphia.

Expect a more detailed update on Hardman’s status to come later in the matchup, and for Andy Reid to lean more on Isiah Pacheco and the ground attack as the Chiefs assess their options in the passing game in the second quarter.

WATCH: Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes finds WR Justin Watson for TD vs. Eagles

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes found Justin Watson in the end zone to give Kansas City an early lead against the #Eagles in Week 11.

The Kansas City Chiefs have taken an early lead against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11 after Patrick Mahomes found wide receiver Justin Watson for a first-quarter touchdown early in the Super Bowl LVII rematch.

Mahomes faced some pressure on the play near the goal line, and managed to throw one of his signature jump passes to Watson, who was wide open in the end zone.

Check out this magnificent connection, which gave Kansas City a seven-point lead after kicker Harrison Butker nailed his point after try at Arrowhead Stadium:

While this play gave the Chiefs the upper hand in this matchup, the team’s work is far from over. Philadelphia has proven to be a worthy adversary through the game’s first few minutes, and with plenty of time left to play, the final outcome still hangs in the balance.

Watch for Mahomes to continue spreading the ball around to leverage all of Kansas City’s offensive talent against the Eagles’ exceptional defense.

WATCH: Chiefs DB Trent McDuffie sacks Jalen Hurts on MNF

#Chiefs DB Trent McDuffie sacked #Eagles QB Jalen Hurts to get the ball back to Patrick Mahomes on Monday Night Football.

The Kansas City Chiefs defense showed up to play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11. After Patrick Mahomes was unable to move the offense on Kansas City’s first drive, defensive back Trent McDuffie responded when Philadelphia took possession, sacking Jalen Hurts on a crucial third down to stall the Eagles.

Check out McDuffie’s impressive effort on this play that helped keep momentum on the Chiefs’ side early in the Super Bowl LVII rematch:

McDuffie will need to keep up his intensity as this game wears on if he intends to help Kansas City secure its eighth win of the 2023 season.

Plays like this have been typical for the second-year defensive back this year, and have contributed to his rise to become one of the NFL’s most promising young players.

Expect the Chiefs to feed off his energy as they look to maintain their lead in the AFC playoff standings on Monday Night Football.

The Kansas City Chiefs are known for their swagger on and off the gridiron, and several of the team’s stars showed out for their matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football dressed to the nines.

Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Justin Reid, and Trent McDuffie all showed off their style as they entered Arrowhead Stadium for the highly anticipated Week 11 tilt, and strutted their stuff as they passed cameras heading to the locker room.

While their pregame outfits will have little bearing on the outcome of the Super Bowl LVII rematch, the personalities of the Chiefs stars were on full display during their catwalk moments. With so much at stake in this game, the confidence boost of these signature outfits may give Kansas City the edge it needs to earn its eighth win of the 2023 season.

Studs and duds from Cowboys’ 33-10, Week 11 win over Panthers

A vintage performance from the pass defense and Tony Pollard helped the Cowboys to a 33-10 win over the Panthers in Week 11. | From @BenGrimaldi

There wasn’t much anticipated suspense when Dallas played the one-win Carolina Panthers. The game followed a familiar script in the 33-10 blowout win for the Cowboys.

In games against sub-par opponents, the Cowboys get out to a lead and the defense finishes things off in spectacular fashion. That’s exactly how it played out in Week 11. The offense was efficient in putting the team up double digits, and then Dan Quinn’s unit put the game on ice with three sacks and a Pick-6 in the fourth quarter.

It might not have been as easy as the scoreboard read in the end, but the outcome never felt in danger for the Cowboys, despite the Panthers pulling within one score in the third quarter. There is just too much talent on the Cowboys’ sideline, and they got great performances from their best players.

Here are the studs and duds in their sixth win by 20 points or more on the season.

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ playoff resume stands alone among NFL contenders

#Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes’ playoff resume is striking when compared to other contending signal calllers around the NFL.

Patrick Mahomes’ brilliance in the playoffs is well documented, and as the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to play the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football, his resume in elimination games stands along among other contenders around the NFL.

FS1 pundit Nick Wright broke down Mahomes’ playoff track record on Twitter ahead of the highly anticipated matchup, noting that the reigning MVP has more wins than the rest of the field combined.

While this doesn’t guarantee that Kansas City will find success in the playoffs this season, the comparison of Mahomes to his contemporaries is striking. Few players in NFL history are as accomplished as the Chiefs’ signal caller, and in just his sixth year as Kansas City’s starting quarterback, Mahomes stands alone as the league’s preeminent passer.

His chances of securing the Chiefs a top seed in the AFC playoffs will be given a boost if he can propel Kansas City to victory against the Eagles tonight.

Are Travis and Jason Kelce the best brother duo in NFL history?

One writer on Twitter broke down the Travis and Jason Kelce’s case to be considered the best brother duo in NFL history.

Travis and Jason Kelce have become NFL icons over the last few years, and their meeting in Super Bowl LVII propelled their popularity to new heights last year when the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles to win their second ring of the Patrick Mahomes era.

Both of Kelces have a long list of accomplishments over the course of their storied careers, and NFL writer Jeff Kerr of CBS Sports broke down their case as the best duo of brothers in league history ahead of their meeting on Monday Night Football in Week 11.

While this impressive list is sure to turn heads, the Kelce brothers have some steep competition in the race for best-of-all-time status.

Payton and Eli Manning are widely considered to be the best tandem of siblings to take the field, and the Barber brothers (Ronde and Tiki) aren’t far behind.

Perhaps the Kelces will accomplish something in their primetime matchup tonight that will propel them into the top spot, though it seems that more Super Bowl rings on each side would be necessary for them to earn the title with unanimous consensus.
