The Eagles have been waiting for Monday night since the final seconds of Super Bowl 57 ticked off the clock in February.
A win over the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium wouldn’t exactly make up for a heartbreaking loss in the biggest game of the year, but it might exorcise some demons for the team with the NFL’s best record through 10 weeks.
The Chiefs haven’t lost at home since opening night, and Kansas City’s defense looks decisively better than the one Jalen Hurts and the Eagles faced in Arizona. While the Chiefs’ offense hasn’t found the same success as it has in recent years, the presence of Patrick Mahomes still makes Kansas City as dangerous as ever.
Meanwhile, the Kelce brothers will face off for potentially the final time, with Jason Kelce taking his career year-by-year at this point. Taylor Swift won’t be in attendance, but the Chiefs need a big performance out of Travis Kelce anyway with the rest of Mahomes’ weapons struggling.
While both the Chiefs and Eagles are well positioned to cruise to a playoff berth, a loss would have notable implications for both teams. Kansas City would drop to the No. 2 seed in the AFC with a loss, while Philadelphia would remain the No. 1 seed but only lead the Lions by a tiebreaker with a loss.
The first-round bye proved to be critical for both teams last season, and the path to another will become a bit more difficult for whichever team comes away from Monday night’s game with a loss.

8:15 p.m. — The Eagles won the toss and deferred. Kansas City will start with the ball.
8:09 p.m. — The Chiefs largely won the battle of the trenches in Super Bowl 57, getting a great performance out of their offensive line, and it’ll be crucial for the unit to step up again in the wet weather tonight.
8:00 p.m. — Wet weather in Kansas City…let’s see if that impacts these two high-flying offenses.

7:40 p.m. — The Eagles can’t be knocked out of the No. 1 seed tonight — they’ll maintain the conference tiebreaker over the Lions — but the Chiefs would slide behind the Ravens with a loss.
7:27 p.m. — This game has consequences in the standings for both teams, but maybe not as much as others would. Neither team can hurt its in-conference record, which could be the decisive factor in the race for the No. 1 seed considering the Chiefs don’t face the Ravens and the Eagles don’t face the Lions. Philadelphia has a perfect record against NFC opponents.
7:15 p.m. — The Eagles haven’t beaten the Chiefs since 2009, when Andy Reid was still coaching in Philadelphia and Donovan McNabb was the team’s quarterback. A win tonight at Arrowhead Stadium would at least erase a few of the demons from February and years prior.
7:00 p.m. — Likewise, the Chiefs largely have their health heading into tonight’s game.

6:45 p.m. — It will be a cool and breezy night at Arrowhead Stadium, as it’s currently 44 degrees with kickoff about 90 minutes away. Temperatures aren’t expected to drop much, however.
6:35 p.m. — Travis Kelce is in the house rocking the throwback jacket ahead of what might be his final matchup against his brother. Jason Kelce has not committed to playing beyond 2023, and the Chiefs and Eagles can’t meet again in the regular season until at least 2025.

6:20 p.m. — In case you missed it, Taylor Swift will NOT be in attendance after a recent concert was postponed to tonight. She might miss a great one if this game is anything like the one from February.
Eagles vs. Chiefs will be aired on ESPN, which has long held the broadcast rights to “Monday Night Football.”
Joe Buck will lead the broadcast, serving as the game’s play-by-play announcer, with Troy Aikman serving as color analyst. Lisa Salters will provide updates from the sidelines.
