For many, the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 Week 11 matchup versus the Philadelphia Eagles is a rematch of last year\u2019s Super Bowl<\/a>. The Chiefs came out of that matchup victorious, narrowly edging the Eagles 38-35, perhaps leaving Philly with more to prove. Not everyone is buying into that narrative, though.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t buy into Super Bowl revenge games<\/a>,\u201d Eagles center Jason Kelce said via Jori Epstein of Yahoo Sports on November 18. \u201cNothing that goes out there and happens on Monday night is going to at all change or make different what happened last year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jason Kelce Downplays Chiefs-Eagles as Super Bowl Rematch<\/h2>\n

Chiefs, Eagles are Different Teams<\/h3>\n

The Eagles enter the contest with the better record at 8-1 to the Chiefs\u2019 7-2 mark. They also boast the NFL\u2019s fifth-best scoring offense whereas the Chiefs check in at an uncharacteristic 13th<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kansas City has ranked no lower than sixth in scoring in each of the last six seasons. They have finished outside of the top 10 just two times since Andy Reid took over in 2013 with four top-five finishes in the last five seasons. But this season has been markedly different from injuries to inconsistency.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs do have the defensive edge, however, leading the way in scoring while the Eagles rank 18th. Kansas City\u2019s pass rush also figures to play a significant role once again with Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts dealing with a balky knee before the bye week.<\/p>\n

He says he\u2019s feeling fine<\/a>. But the Chiefs\u2019 pass rush should certainly test that.<\/p>\n

Chiefs Planning for \u2018Brotherly Shove\u2019<\/h3>\n

The Chiefs will get another chance to be the team that figures out how to shut down the \u201cBrotherly Shove\u201d (or \u201cTush Push\u201d), the Eagles\u2019 ace-in-the-hole play that has three teammates push Hurts on a sneak for short to-go situations. Philadelphia has also incorporated handoffs to the running backs off of it making it even more of a challenge to diagnose and defend against.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re so good at it<\/a>,\u201d Chiefs defense lineman Chris Jones said, per PJ Green of KSNT.com on November 18. \u201cUnfortunately we haven\u2019t watched any rugby style of defense yet but we\u2019ll figure something out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Kelce brothers had some fun discussing ways to stop the play during the \u201cNew Heights\u201d podcast<\/a> on November 17.<\/p>\n
