Eagles beat Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII rematch - ESPN

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles got their Super Bowl LVII revenge on «Monday Night Football» with a 21-17 win over Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. It marked coach Andy Reid's first loss to his former team and center Jason Kelce's first win over his brother, Travis Kelce.

A talking point for the Eagles leading into the Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs, coach Nick Sirianni said, was that the Chiefs were «not giving us their ring back if we beat them this week.» It was a way to put a pin in the inflated hype around the game and get the Eagles to look at it as nothing more than a potential building block for the 2023 season.

The Eagles escaped Arrowhead with a gritty 21-17 win. And while it doesn't alter what happed in Super Bowl LVII, it does put Philadelphia in great position as it makes a push for a return trip to the championship game. The Eagles maintain the best record in football (9-1) despite tests from playoff-caliber teams like the Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys and Chiefs in recent weeks. The hoopla surrounding the Super Bowl rematch is behind them, and the push for the top seed in the NFC is on.
