The Eagles and Chiefs are at Arrowhead Stadium for a regular-season meeting on Sunday for the second time in the past three years, and it'll be the second time that it's followed a Super Bowl clash. In 2023, the Eagles overcame a 17-7 Chiefs lead at the half and held Kansas City scoreless in the second half, as the Birds moved to 9-1 on the season.
