If the Eagles want to win, they need to complete passes deep down the field and run the ball very efficiently with Jalen Hurts. The Eagles also need to stop Travis Kelce. If the Chiefs want to win, their offensive line needs to play elite as the Eagles front is the best in the NFL. The Chiefs also need to stop Jalen Hurts’ rushing if they want to win.
