Like folks have said, It is not a surprise that the Eagles won. Yet very few expected the game to be this easy. The Eagles just have a monster defense. I think the big series was after the Brian Cook interception at the Chiefs' eight yard line. That was in the second quarter with Philadelphia leading 7 to 0. I felt that killing this drive and preventing a touchdown would turn the game in Kansas City's favor; but the Eagles forced a punt after three plays and the route was on.
Hats off the Patrick Ma Holmes. Down 40 to 6 he threw long passes and made the final score misleading. Many other quarterbacks would throw those silly flare passes, taking what the defense yields. They waste maybe eight minutes and come away with a good completion percentages which is meaningless. Ma Holmes took the difficult path and I respect him for that.

For all those who were wondering, here's Ma Holmes. Amazing that the hat fit under the helmet.

Still Leonard, you wonder why Mahomes and Worthy didnt become more aggressive downfield earlier in the game? I guess once Mahomes couldnt trust his pass protection, he didnt feel he could stand back long enough to throw farther downfield. Even PFF, who can be somewhat skewed in their analysis, was baffled by his mediocre game; which surprised many people.
