It wasn't an onslaught this time. But the end result — and how the Eagles got there – looked very similar on Sunday when they met the Chiefs in Week 2 of the NFL season for a rematch of the latest Super Bowl.
About seven months later, in Kansas City at Arrowhead Stadium, the Eagles' defense again caused fits for Chiefs three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes. The Eagles won, 20-17, despite some offensive issues of their own because their defense came up with some impressive stops and one big turnover.
Rookie safety Andrew Mukuba's early fourth-quarter interception in the Eagles' end zone thwarted what could've been a go-ahead touchdown drive by the Chiefs or at very least an easy game-tying field goal, as the Eagles were then able to extend their lead on the next possession to 20-
