Jalen Hurts rushed for two touchdowns and the Philadelphia Eagles overcame a 10-point halftime deficit to beat the host Kansas City Chiefs 21-17 on Monday night in a Super Bowl rematch.
D'Andre Swift rushed for a touchdown and had 107 scrimmage yards (76 rushing, 31 receiving) as the Eagles, who own the best record in the NFL at 9-1, won their fourth straight game. DeVonta Smith caught six passes for 99 yards, including a long one that set up the winning score.
Patrick Mahomes threw two touchdowns but also threw an interception and finished with just 177 passing yards. He completed 24 of 43 passes for the Chiefs (7-3). Kansas City's Travis Kelce and Justin Watson had touchdown receptions.
The Week 11 showdown was a rematch of the highly competitive Super Bowl LVII. The Chiefs won the game 38-35 thanks to Harrison Butker's game-winning 27-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining.
Hurts was 14-of-22 passing for 150 yards and one interception on Monday. He was harassed repeatedly in the first half when he was sacked five times, but the Eagles didn't allow a sack in the second half.
Chris Jones and Trent McDuffie each had two sacks for the Chiefs. Kelce had seven receptions but just 44 yards.
Philadelphia moved ahead for the first time at 21-17 with 6:20 remaining.
The touchdown was set up by Hurts' 41-yard pass to Smith to the Kansas City 1-yard line. The Eagles then called for the "Tush Push," and Hurts received the usual extra help while plunging in for the score.
The Chiefs later took over from their 9-yard line with 2:49 remaining. Kansas City had second down from its 49-yard line when Mahomes threw deep but Marquez Valdes-Scantling dropped the pass despite being open inside the Philadelphia 5.
Later in the possession, Mahomes' pass on fourth-and-25 was incomplete and the Eagles took over with 1:28 left and ran out the clock.
The Eagles pulled within 17-14 when Hurts scored on a 10-yard keeper on third-and-5 with 4:05 left in the third quarter.
Mahomes threw two touchdowns to help the Chiefs hold a 17-7 halftime lead.
Kansas City got on the board when Mahomes tossed a 3-yard scoring pass to Watson with 5:34 left in the first quarter.
