Eagles' best number: 58 (length of Jake Elliott’s first-half field goal)

View from my living room:
I was still recovering from our annual barbecue yesterday. Great food, drinks and tequila shots with good friends and family made for a tremendous evening.
Three stars
- Eagles place-kicker Jake Elliott (2-for-2 field goals, including the aforementioned 58-yarder in the second quarter).
- Eagles safety Andrew Mukuba (41-yard interception return).
- Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (accounted for both touchdowns via run and pass).
Eagles’ best play
Wide receiver DeVonta Smith set up the Eagles’ decisive touchdown in the fourth quarter by outleaping Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie to grab a 28-yard pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Eagles’ worst play
The Chiefs drew within a field goal in the fourth quarter when wide receiver Tyquan Thornton got behind the Eagles’ secondary and hauled in a 49-yard TD pass from quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
Turning point
The Eagles were clinging to a 13-10 lead in the fourth quarter when the Chiefs had second-and-goal from the Eagles’ 6-yard line. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce bobbled a pass from Mahomes; Mukuba intercepted it at the goal line and returned it 41 yards to set up the Eagles’ final TD.
