The Eagles emerged victorious in a nail-biting 20-17 win at Arrowhead Stadium, handing the Chiefs their first 0-2 start since 2014.
Meanwhile, Philadelphia’s dominance continues, improving to 18-1 in their past 19 games dating back to last season, including playoffs.
The win was as psychological as it was physical, with the Eagles unleashing a storm of petty social media posts mocking Kansas City and their fanbase.

How the Eagles Secured the Win
The Eagles took an early lead thanks to Saquon Barkley’s 13-yard rushing touchdown, showcasing their ground game dominance. Patrick Mahomes answered back with a scrambling touchdown to tie the score, showing flashes of his trademark magic.
Jake Elliott then became a pivotal figure, hitting a 58-yard field goal before halftime and a 51-yarder in the third quarter to edge the Eagles ahead.
A dropped goal-line pass from Travis Kelce turned costly for Kansas City as it resulted in an Andrew Mukuba interception, setting up a signature “Tush Push” touchdown by Jalen Hurts.
With the Eagles up 20-10, Mahomes found Tyquan Thornton for a 49-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter, but the Chiefs’ onside kick attempt failed, allowing the Eagles to kneel out the clock and seal the win.
Eagles Dominate the Troll Game
The Eagles didn’t just win on the field — they dominated online. Their official accounts mocked the “Chiefs Kingdom” rally cry, boasting their undefeated streak against Kansas City in 2025.
The trolling reached its peak when Chiefs star Chris Jones confronted Jalen Hurts postgame about not even throwing for 100 yards. Hurts fired back with the now-viral line:
- “We won the f*ing game. Shut yo a– up.”
It was the perfect mic drop moment — a blunt reminder that winning trumps stats, and that Hurts’ leadership and composure are what truly matter for the Eagles’ success.
Other Week 2 Highlights Around the League
While the Eagles-Chiefs clash grabbed the headlines, several other Week 2 games added to the drama and trolling:
- 49ers 26, Saints 21: San Francisco’s backup Mac Jones threw for 279 yards and 3 TDs, while a late sack on Spencer Rattler sealed the win and prompted Saints-themed memes from the 49ers.
- Bills 30, Jets 10: Josh Allen played through a bloody nose, throwing for 148 yards and rushing for 59, while James Cook dominated with 132 rushing yards and 2 TDs. The Bills mocked the Jets using pop-culture references about “bleeding your own blood.”
- Cowboys 40, Giants 37 (OT): Dak Prescott and Russell Wilson traded late touchdowns before Brandon Aubrey’s 46-yard field goal in OT gave Dallas the win.
- Seahawks 31, Steelers 17: Sam Darnold passed for 295 yards and Kenneth Walker III ran for 105 yards as Seattle used a 17-point fourth quarter to claim their first win, teasing Pittsburgh fans with “yinz” references online.
What This Means Going Forward
This win reinforces the Eagles’ status as NFC favorites, combining elite defense, clutch special teams, and gritty quarterback play. Their ability to win tough road games and then own the narrative online adds psychological pressure on future opponents.
For the Chiefs, the concern is real: a 0-2 start for the first time in over a decade raises questions about offensive chemistry, defensive lapses, and whether Mahomes can carry the load without costly turnovers. Kansas City must regroup quickly to avoid falling further behind in the AFC standings.
The Eagles’ 20-17 victory over the Chiefs was more than just a win — it was a statement of dominance, swagger, and resilience.
With an elite record of 18 wins in their last 19 games, Philadelphia not only conquered their toughest rival on the field but also humiliated them online, proving they are as savage off the field as they are unstoppable on it.
This Week 2 showdown has cemented the Eagles as the team to beat in 2025 — and the Chiefs as a team desperately searching for answers.
