Some thoughts on this Monday:
1) Watching Sunday night’s showdown between the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs was a reminder of how important it’s going to be for the New England Patriots to hopefully get things right up front along their offensive line.
The Eagles’ group was unbelievably tough when it came to bowling over Kansas City’s defensive front, with Philadelphia’s guys just absolutely steamrolling their way forward when they needed one yard. Quarterback Jalen Hurts also spent most of the night with a fairly clean pocket, enjoying plenty of time to survey the field as the Eagles’ offense controlled the clock and held the football for over 35 minutes.
