KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Philadelphia Eagles emerged victorious in a gritty Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs, winning 20-17 at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday night.

Tempers flared late in the game as Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones was caught on the broadcast taunting Eagles running back Saquon Barkley for not breaking the 100-yard rushing mark. But Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts fired back with a blunt statement as he took the final kneel-down: “We won the f—ing game.”

“The most important thing is finding a way to win,” Hurts said after the game. “In games like this, you’ve got to stay focused and trust your team. That’s what we did.”

The Eagles’ offensive numbers were modest — Hurts passed for just 101 yards, Barkley rushed for 88 yards and a touchdown — but it was their defense that turned the tide. Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio dialed up 12 blitzes against Patrick Mahomes, a stark contrast to the zero blitzes they ran against him in the Super Bowl.

That pressure led to a pivotal moment in the fourth quarter when a Mahomes pass bounced off tight end Travis Kelce’s hands and was intercepted by rookie safety Drew Mukuba. The Eagles turned that turnover into a score and held off a final Kansas City surge to improve to 2-0, while the Chiefs dropped to a surprising 0-2.

JOE BURROW SUFFERS TURF TOE INJURY, MAY REQUIRE SURGERY

CINCINNATI, Ohio — The Bengals may have pulled off a thrilling 31-27 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it came at a heavy cost.

Star quarterback Joe Burrow exited the game in the second quarter with what sources say is a turf toe injury to his left foot. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the injury could require surgery, which would sideline Burrow for approximately three months.

The injury occurred when Jaguars defensive end Arik Armstead sacked Burrow. Initially limping, Burrow attempted to walk off but collapsed and had to be helped to the locker room. Postgame, he was seen in a walking boot and on crutches.

“We’re still evaluating, but we’re concerned,” said Bengals head coach Zac Taylor.

With Burrow out, backup Jake Browning took over and led the Bengals on a game-winning drive, capped by a 1-yard touchdown dive with just 18 seconds left.

Burrow, the 2020 No. 1 overall pick, has a history of injuries — including season-ending knee (2020) and wrist (2023) injuries. In 14 games without Burrow since 2020, the Bengals are 6-8 and average under 20 points per game. His absence would be a massive blow for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.

In fact, ESPN BET adjusted the Bengals’ title odds from 20-1 to 30-1 after the injury was reported.

JADEVEON CLOWNEY SIGNS WITH THE COWBOYS

ARLINGTON, Texas — In response to early-season pass rush concerns, the Dallas Cowboys have signed veteran edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney to a one-year deal worth up to $6 million, sources told ESPN.

The move comes after the Cowboys traded star defender Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers earlier this season. While Dallas has found some success — including a 40-37 overtime win over the Giants on Sunday — the defensive front has lacked consistency.

“He’s a proven player, and he’ll bring real depth to our defense,” said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

Clowney, 32, is joining his seventh NFL team. Last season with the Panthers, he posted 5.5 sacks. Over his 11-year career, the former No. 1 overall pick has tallied 58 sacks, 409 tackles, and 15 forced fumbles.

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who previously coached Clowney in Seattle, emphasized that this signing is about strengthening a unit that still believes it can compete. Clowney will join a rotation that includes Marshawn Kneeland, Dante Fowler Jr., and Sam Williams.

VIKINGS STAY HOT, FALCONS FALL TO 0-2

Meanwhile, in Minneapolis, the Minnesota Vikings continued their strong start with a solid showing against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football. The Falcons, now 0-2, failed to find rhythm on either side of the ball.

ESPN reporters Marc Raimondi (Falcons) and Kevin Seifert (Vikings) were on-site at U.S. Bank Stadium, providing updates on key plays as the Vikings controlled the tempo and executed effectively. With a 2-0 record, Minnesota looks poised to compete in a tough NFC race.

EARLY SEASON SHOCKWAVES

Only two weeks into the 2025 NFL season, the league has already seen its share of surprises and setbacks. The Eagles look sharp and focused on redemption, while the Chiefs stumble early. Joe Burrow’s injury could dramatically shift the AFC North landscape. Meanwhile, the Cowboys are reshuffling their defense in hopes of remaining contenders.

With 15 weeks to go, the season is just getting started — but the impact of this week may be felt all the way into January.
