In Roob’s Eagles Stats: The shocking Patrick Mahomes numbers originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
Usually, the games that generate the most interesting stats are the highest-scoring games. The more points, the more stats.
But when it’s the Eagles and Chiefs, when the Eagles rebound from a double-digit deficit, when Patrick Mahomes is uncharacteristically ineffective, there’s certainly no shortage of stats.
So here’s our Week 11 edition of Roob’s Eagles Stats, with a look at turnover margin, 1st-quarter scoring, Jalen Hurts rushing touchdowns and the rarity of beating the Chiefs at Arrowhead after trailing by double digits at halftime.
1. The Chiefs’ longest pass play Monday night went for 17 yards. It was the first time in 190 games that Andy Reid has coached the Chiefs that they didn’t have a pass play of at least 18 yards. Last time they didn’t have an 18-yard reception was on the last day of the 2012 season in a 38-3 loss to the Broncos in Denver – the last Chiefs game Reid didn’t coach. Their longest reception that day was a 16-yarder from Brady Quinn to tight end Tony Moeaki. The Chiefs’ longest catch in that game by a wide receiver went for just six yards – to Devon Wylie.

His previous low was 4.5 yards in a win over the Packers in 2021 (37 attempts, 166 yards). That 4.1 figure is the lowest by a Chiefs QB in 12 years, since Matt Cassel threw 28 times for 93 yards for 3.3 yards per attempt in a 17-10 loss to the Broncos in 2011. In Eagles history, only two other opposing quarterbacks have thrown 40 or more passes for 180 or fewer yards: Matt Robinson of the Broncos in the 1980 opener (41 attempts, 178 yards) and Jay Cutler of the Bears in 2009 (43 attempts, 171 yards).
