Philadelphia’s passing attack must improve quickly after Hurts’s 101-yard day against Kansas City, finishing with 94 net passing yards due to sacks. Brown and Smith weren’t enough to unlock a high-octane aerial game, and the staff must scheme open looks rather than relying on improvisation. Patullo’s play-calling and Sirianni’s decisions are under scrutiny as the offense adapts. On defense, Mukuba and Campbell highlighted the rookies, while Vic Fangio’s adjustments kept Philly competitive. The 2-0 start remains intact, but the path to explosive weeks is clear.

Philadelphia extended its perfect start to 2025 by surviving Arrowhead in a game where fresh questions about the offense linger but the defense and special teams delivered the win. Vic Fangio’s blitz-heavy approach thwarted Patrick Mahomes repeatedly, and the Eagles leaned on a resilient rookie in Mukuba, plus a clutch kicking performance from Jake Elliott, to pull out a 2-0 mark.

The defense sparked the victory with interior pressure and timely takeaways, while Jalen Hurts managed the game and the run game kept the clock moving. DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown provided steady, if not sensational, receiving work, and the run-defense anchored by Carter and Davis helped stifle KC in a tight, three-point finish. Offense remains a work in progress, drawing OC Patullo’s play-design under scrutiny as Philly adapts to elite, blitzing pressure.
