Part of the reason we talked so much about how well the Chiefs’ offensive line was last week against the Patriots was the surprise.
This is a good group, actually. They’re athletic, better in pass protection than run blocking and at their best when they get into space and even downfield. The Patriots allowed them to play that way, and the Chiefs’ blocking was dang near perfect.
Well, today, not so much.
The Eagles have a terrific front seven. One of the best in football, really. Very physical, but also quick, and smart, and this was the biggest mismatch of the day.
