The Philadelphia Eagles were hardly playing into the “revenge” narrative that surrounded Monday night’s Super Bowl rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead.
But the team might be lying if they said Monday’s win didn’t taste like some savory payback.
Both sides hardly had their prettiest game of the season, but the Eagles (9-1) came up big in the fourth quarter and completed a second-half shutout to pull off a 21-17 win over the Chiefs (7-3) on the road to stay atop the NFC.
