Philadelphia Eagles at Kansas City Chiefs Stats to Know
- This is the ninth time the last two Super Bowl combatants have reconnected in the following regular season. In the previous eight instances, the team that won the Super Bowl took the rematch. Only the 1993 Bills (vs. Cowboys) and 1970 Vikings (vs. Chiefs) avenged their Super Bowl loss.
- Despite the Super Bowl blowout, Eagles RB Saquon Barkley was held to 57 yards on 25 rushes (2.3 yards per rush) vs. the Chiefs.

He is questionable to play on Sunday, so the returning production leaders from the last time these teams met would be TE Travis Kelce (9 receiving yards) and QB Patrick Mahomes (25 rush yards).
- The Chiefs were held to 347 yards against the Chargers in Week 1 and have now failed to reach 350 yards of total offense in nine of their last 13 games, including postseason.
