The Philadelphia Eagles' get aggressive on fourth down and the offense delivers with a 31-yard connection from Eagles' quarterback Jalen Hurts to Eagles' wide receiver A.J. Brown.

"This team we’re playing is a really good football team,” Patrick Mahomes says. Here's what else the Chiefs are saying about the Eagles
Many played big roles in the last Super Bowl meeting. Hurts rushed for three TDs and threw a 45-yard scoring strike to Brown, while Mahomes threw three TD passes, including one to Kelce, Nick Bolton returned a fumble for a touchdown and Harrison Butker kicked the game-winning field goal with 8 seconds left.
Hurts largely succeeded against the blitz on the NFC side of the playoff bracket. But the Los Angeles Rams, who sacked Hurts seven times in Philadelphia’s 28-22 win in the divisional round, gave the Eagles quarterback considerable trouble. Oftentimes it appeared his checkdown options were ill-placed or covered up entirely.
