Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 101 yards and plunged over the goal line for a touchdown on a &#8220;tush-push&#8221; play in the fourth quarter as Philadelphia improved to 2-0 in the young season. The Chiefs, who lost just two games in the 2024 regular season, suffered a second straight defeat.<\/p>\n<p>Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw for 187 yards and ran for a touchdown, but he and long-time target Travis Kelce will regret an early fourth-quarter play on which the tight end couldn&#8217;t control a rifle pass from Mahomes on the edge of the end zone and Eagles safety Andrew Makuba grabbed the ball for an interception.<\/p>\n<p>Add WION as a Preferred Source<a class=\"googleIcon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.wionews.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/googlePreferred.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That set up Philadelphia for the scoring drive capped by Hurts&#8217;s TD for a 20-10 lead. The Chiefs cut the gap on Mahomes&#8217;s 49-yard touchdown pass to Tyquan Thompson with three minutes remaining but didn&#8217;t get another chance.<\/p>\n<p>Hurts said he wasn&#8217;t surprised that the game was close, despite their 40-22 Super Bowl victory.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s something in the past,&#8221; he said. &#8220;We knew they were going to come in hungry today and that&#8217;s something that we had to put on ourselves. We can&#8217;t be casual.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you&#8217;re playing against championship-level teams it&#8217;s about showing up in those big-game situations. I think we did that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In Dallas, quarterbacks Dak Prescott and Russell Wilson dueled down the stretch but it was Brandon Aubrey who booted the game-winning field goal on the final play of overtime Sunday to give the Cowboys a 40-37 victory over the New York Giants.<\/p>\n<p>Aubrey, who drilled a game-tying 64-yard field goal to end regulation, nailed the 46-yard game-winner on the final play of overtime to settle an entertaining clash in which the teams combined for 41 points and five lead changes in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n<p>Prescott posted a 14th straight victory over the Giants and new Dallas coach Brian Schottenheimer nabbed his first win. &#8220;I know he&#8217;ll never forget it &#8212; I won&#8217;t forget it,&#8221; Prescott said. \u201cAn amazing game, hell of a game, fun game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lions maul Bears<\/p>\n<p>The narrow victory was a sharp contrast to a string of lopsided triumphs, starting with the Detroit Lions&#8217; 52-21 blowout of the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n<p>The Buffalo Bills thumped the New York Jets to improve to 2-0 and the Baltimore Ravens, beaten by the Bills in a week one marquee clash, rebounded with a 41-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns.<\/p>\n<p>Lions quarterback Jared Goff completed 23 of 28 passes for 334 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions. Three of those TD passes went to Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery each ran for a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson threw four touchdowns as the Ravens bounced back in a big way after a season-opening loss to the Bills.<\/p>\n<p>The Ravens scored 21 straight points in the fourth quarter and took advantage as their former Super Bowl-winning quarterback, 40-year-old Joe Flacco, struggled in his return to Baltimore with the Browns.<\/p>\n<p>The Bills, who had to rally for their 41-40 win over the Ravens last week, found it smooth sailing against the Jets.<\/p>\n<p>Quarterback Josh Allen shook off a bloody nose from a hit in the first quarter to pilot an efficient ground offensive that included two touchdowns from running back James Cook.<\/p>\n<p>In Pittsburgh, the Seattle Seahawks surprised the Steelers 31-17.<\/p>\n<p>Their 17-point fourth quarter included an opportunistic touchdown on a gaffe by Pittsburgh rookie Kaleb Johnson &#8212; who let a kickoff bounce over his head and left the field apparently thinking the play was dead only for Seattle&#8217;s George Holani to fall on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown.<\/p>\n<p>In Cincinnati, backup quarterback Jake Browning stepped up after the Bengals lost Joe Burrow to a toe injury, scoring on a one-yard touchdown run with 18 seconds left to secure a 31-27 win.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles held off the Kansas City Chiefs 20-17 on Sunday in a scrappy&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":369178,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2070],"tags":[374,692,391,2493,59916,65277,7,6,56699,4032],"class_list":{"0":"post-369177","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-chicago-bears","8":"tag-bears","9":"tag-chicago","10":"tag-chicago-bears","11":"tag-chicagobears","12":"tag-eagles-vs-chiefs","13":"tag-eagles-vs-chiefs-week-2","14":"tag-football","15":"tag-nfl","16":"tag-nfl-week-2","17":"tag-sunday-night-football"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115206602877233284","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=369177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/369177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/369178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=369177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=369177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=369177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
