This week’s edition of “Monday Night Football” is a Super Bowl rematch. The last time we saw the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles on the field together, it ended with Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Co. emerging victorious and being crowned champions. Jalen Hurts had arguably the best game of his career in defeat, but did lose a crucial fumble that turned into a Kansas City touchdown.
Each of these teams has changed quite a bit since that last matchup, but what hasn’t changed is that they still look like two of the best squads in the league. It should be fascinating — and hopefully exciting — to watch them square off once again.
Will the Chiefs defend their title, or will the Eagles take a measure of revenge? We’ll find out soon enough. Before we break down the matchup, here’s a look at how you can watch the game.

Unlike the Super Bowl, the matchup with elite units on both sides is actually this one.
Kansas City’s defense has been one of the best in the NFL this season, with Steve Spagnuolo’s unit ranking fourth in yards and first in points allowed per game, as well as third in FTN’s defensive DVOA and fifth in TruMedia’s version of EPA/play. The Eagles, despite often looking off-kilter, still check in fifth in yards and third in points, as well as seventh in offensive DVOA and third in EPA/play. So yeah, this should be fun!
The strength of Kansas City’s defense is its work against opposing passing attacks. Chiefs…
