The supporting cast steps up
The Eagles will enter the game intent on neutralizing Travis Kelce based on his impact potential as the No. 1 option in the Chiefs’ passing game. Thus, the onus will likely fall on Smith-Schuster, Valdes-Scantling, Toney and Noah Gray to make enough plays to keep the Chiefs on schedule.
Given the Eagles’ preference for zone coverage, the supporting cast should have plenty of opportunities to catch on an assortment of quick passes designed to attack the short and intermediate areas.
In addition, the Chiefs’ expansive screen game could feature more wide receiver screens that will force the Eagles’ defensive line to run from sideline to sideline in pursuit.
