Patrick Mahomes should have a field day against this secondary.

After giving up nearly 300 yards and 3 touchdowns to Dak Prescott last week, Philadelphia’s secondary is showing some cracks. Of course, with Darius Slay, you can never truly count the Eagles secondary out. Mahomes, who is currently averaging 250 yards and 3 touchdowns through 3 games should continue his stellar play against the Eagles, who have faced Jimmy Garoppolo, Matt Ryan, and Dak Prescott to start the year. While that isn’t the most stellar trio of quarterbacks to face this Eagles defense to start the year, Mahomes should play well against Philadelphia.

Turnovers have been an issue in recent games, so look for Mahomes to dial back on risky throws considering they should be able to win this game handily.

Chiefs defensive line should be able to get home against Philadelphia

The Cowboys’ defensive front was able to get home for 2 sacks and force enough collapsing pockets to make life uncomfortable for Jalen Hurts with forcing him to throw 2 interceptions as well. The Eagles possess a solid offensive line, as they’ve played superior defensive fronts, but they’ve started to show some cracks as well. Giving up 2 sacks for two straight weeks, the Eagles have shown they can’t hang with superior fronts the same way they can against, say, the Falcons. Look for Chris Jones and co. to create collapsing pockets and forcing Hurts into early rollouts and uncomfortable situations.
