The Philadelphia Eagles need to limit the Chiefs high powered attack.

On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles begin arguably the toughest four-game stretch of their schedule. They welcome the high-flying Kansas City Chiefs to Lincoln Financial Field. What’s amazing is, before the season started, nobody would have believed that the Chiefs would have a 1-2 record after three games.

Hey! Has anyone noticed that’s an identical record to that of the Birds?

On Sunday, we’ll see two teams who are hungry to get back on track. K.C. is trying to right the ship. The Eagles are looking for a spark.

Everyone knows Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offense is hard to stop, but it can be done. The Los Angeles Chargers and Baltimore Ravens have proven that.

If Philly wants to slow down Kansas City’s offense, they need to do something the team has done little of recently, which is run the ball. Jalen Hurts is a well-known scrambler, but they need to get Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell involved in the running game as well. One of the worst spots on the Chiefs’ defense is their rush defense, so you can see why the Eagles want to take advantage of that.

Here’s something that would involve a little luck on the Eagles part, turnovers. Kansas City has been killing themselves in games, especially as of late with critical errors that transform wins into losses.

The Birds must bring the pressure, but this game isn’t unwinnable. Here are two keys to an upset.
