Mahomes is expected to rely more heavily on JuJu Smith-Schuster, Marquise Brown, Rashee Rice, and Travis Kelce in the passing game, while Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, and Brashard Smith could see increased usage in the run game and short-yardage situations. Without Worthy, the dynamic of the Super Bowl rematch shifts, as Philadelphia’s defense no longer has to account for Kansas City’s top vertical threat.</p><p>With Worthy sidelined, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/chiefs-news-dianna-russinis-xavier-worthy-update-leaves-door-open-early-return">Kansas City’s offense faces a crucial early-season challenge</a>.

NFL fans were comparing it to seeing Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen’s wife, Hailee Steinfeld, who attended their <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/baltimore-ravens/ravens-most-blame-week-1-loss-bills">season opener against the Baltimore Ravens.</a> The Sinners star has attended several games since dating the Bills quarterback, but is often not photographed or shown on larger screens, like Swift.</p><p>In Steinfeld’s viral video, she is enjoying her time in the Allen family suite as the Bills had an impressive fourth quarter, after coming back from a 15-point deficit and winning 41-40. Fans were quick to compare the NFL wives to one another in Hailee’s TikTok video, with one popular comment sending Swift some backlash.</p><p>“They don’t show Hailee once but show Taylor Swift a 100 times during a Chiefs game,” the comment read.</p><p>“Taylor doesn’t want to be shown? She literally had the suite tinted so that they can’t show her anymore, and people can’t read,” a fan replied to the original poster supporting Swift.</p><p>“Do you think Taylor has control over the broadcast?” a fan asked.</p><p>“She doesn’t want to be shown,” another fan reiterated. “She wants it to be about him,” adding that she thinks the singer is so “classy.”</p><p>Swift and other Chiefs girlfriends and wives decided <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/celebrity/taylor-swift-skipped-chiefs-game-brazil" rel="noopener">to skip the Chiefs’ season opener against the Los Angeles Chargers</a> in São Paulo, Brazil due to <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/nfl/article-15071109/Taylor-Swift-Brazil-Travis-Kelce-Kansas-City-Chiefs.html?utm_source=in_materials" rel="noopener">several reasons</a> such as it wouldn’t be cost or time efficient to fly 13 hours from Kansas City for a game that only lasts a couple of hours.</p><p>“The travel and the cost and most importantly the security, which goes along with the aforementioned travel and cost, are all the reasons Taylor didn’t go to the game to see Travis play,” revealed Daily Mail’s source.</p><p>It’s a long-haul flight of about 13 hours from Kansas City to São Paulo, and the insider adds that it “would have been a tremendous cost for only a few hours to be in the city.”</p><p>Last season, Swift attended 10 games with nine of them being at home in Arrowhead Stadium. The 10th game was the only away game the singer appeared at which was the Super Bowl in New Orleans.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Trey Smith is one of the most physically dominating guards in the league, which is why he’s paid like that. So I would like to see Pacheco and Kareem Hunt in this run game start to help facilitate some things,” Spears said.</p><p>“So, Patrick Mahomes in this passing game can be explosive. They’re missing wide receivers. They’re missing a lot of their weapons on the outside. We expect that to get better as the season goes along, but you got to find a way to figure out how to run the football as the Kansas City Chiefs because in history, it has helped them tremendously when it comes to their offense. And if it’s stagnant, they can still be dominant.”</p><p>In Brazil, Mahomes attempted 39 passes against the Chargers, completing 24 for 258 yards and a touchdown. Matt Nagy’s run game, by contrast, only attempted 10 rushes to a running back, with Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt splitting the ground game duties with five rushes each.</p><p>While the Philadelphia Eagles were a tough team to run on in 2024, they gave up <a href="https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/phi/2025.htm" rel="noopener">119 yards on 22 carries</a> to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1, the 21st-ranked mark in the NFL, according to Pro Football Reference.</p><p>Can the Chiefs win without a strong ground game?

They’ve actually given a little bit more, it’s not just day to day. It’s more of a week-to-week, and I think the fact that he’s being put on short-term IR is good for now. I think those are one of those situations where they have to wait and see and see how the week progresses as well.</p><p>“But for now, I think that’s good. So I think the chances of him playing against the Philadelphia Eagles are obviously very slim, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he suits up for Sunday Night Football against the Giants.” Russini concluded.</p><p>Seeing Worthy back on the field for practice is as encouraging a sign as any ahead of Week 2’s matchup. However, given it’s an early regular-season test against the defending champions, it’ll be difficult for Worthy not to want to give it a shot despite suffering a shoulder injury in Week 1’s 27-21 loss to the Chargers.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Week 2 of the 2025 season has the defending Super Bowl champions squaring off against the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s a rematch of the 2024 Super Bowl, where Philly dismantled Kansas City en route to their second championship in franchise history.</p><p>Philadelphia’s first game of the season was a bit rough, though, and it’s mainly due to a big loss on their defensive line. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-rumors-why-jalen-carter-not-suspended-spitting-dak-prescott">Star defensive tackle Jalen Carter was ejected against the Dallas Cowboys</a> after spitting at quarterback Dak Prescott. Without the big man in the middle, the Eagles had a noticeably harder time against the supposedly one-dimensional offense of the Cowboys.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/eagles-news-jalen-carter-final-punishment-spitting-dak-prescott">With Carter evading a suspension, the Eagles star will be suiting up</a> against their cross-conference rivals. With that in mind, Philly legend Jason Kelce <a href="https://x.com/WIPMorningShow/status/1966140753832456200">guarantees that the team will have a much better performance on that end of the ball.</a></p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Jason Kelce expects the Eagles defense to look much different as Jalen Carter returns… <a href="https://t.co/Z4pToZ46sW">pic.twitter.com/Z4pToZ46sW</a></p><p>— WIP Morning Show (@WIPMorningShow) <a href="https://twitter.com/WIPMorningShow/status/1966140753832456200?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 11, 2025</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://instagram.com/embed.js"></script></p></figure><p>Without Carter clogging up the trenches, the Cowboys’ supposedly weak rushing attack was able to gash the Eagles’ defense, at least for a few quarters. Javonte Williams suddenly found a piece of his past form, scoring two rushing touchdowns and being a menace against Philly. The Eagles were able to contain Williams after the rain delay, but it was pretty clear that the defense was a completely different beast with Carter on the line.</p><p>The Eagles could definitely use Carter back in their game against the Chiefs. With Xavier Worthy likely out for the game and Rashee Rice still serving his suspension, Kansas City might start leaning more on their rushing attack. The Chiefs have a solid one-two punch from the backfield, as veteran Kareem Hunt and youngster Isaiah Pacheco share snaps at the RB position. Even with the Chiefs’ preference to pass the ball, without their two best wide receivers, the team will probably pound the rock more than usual.</p><p>Even if the Chiefs end up sticking to their pass-heavy scheme, having a block magnet like Carter down the middle will help them in defending the pass. Carter’s presence will open up opportunities for the Eagles’ pass rush to get home.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The final score of 40-22 shocked the world, and it could have been even worse had it not been for some garbage-time scoring. The much-anticipated rematch is taking place early in the 2025 season.</p><p>The Chiefs will have their opportunity for revenge during Week 2. Kansas City is coming off a Week 1 loss, whereas the Eagles won their first game of the year. Those facts, and Philadelphia’s dominant performance the last time these two squared off, have led many to believe that the Eagles will add another win to their total in this rivalry.</p><p>Don’t be too sure, though. The Chiefs are poised to beat the Eagles. In the process, they will remind football fans that they are one of the greatest dynasties in league history and still firmly within their title window.</p><h2><b>Why the Chiefs will beat the Eagles</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/782119507-patrick-mahomes-jalen-hurts.jpg"><figcaption>Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>The Chiefs and Eagles<a href="https://www.footballdb.com/teams/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/teamvsteam?opp=24" rel="noopener"> are 6-6</a> against each other all-time. Super Bowl 57 between the two was one of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/best-super-bowl-games-in-nfl-history-ranked">best championship games ever</a>, and the Chiefs ended up victorious. They also beat the Eagles in their 2023 regular-season matchup before catastrophe hit during Super Bowl 59.</p><p>Many expected the Chiefs to come out with vengeance in Week 1, but instead, they suffered a rare one-score loss. The end of an era is not here yet, and it is just a matter of time until they land back on their feet. The Chiefs may very well have been saving up their motivation for Week 2 against the Eagles.</p><p>Kansas City still has Patrick Mahomes, arguably the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/nfl-stories/ranking-50-best-nfl-players-for-2025-season">best player in the NFL</a>. He alone can make magic happen. The league suspended Rashee Rice, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/chiefs-news-travis-kelce-takes-blame-xavier-worthy-injury">Xavier Worthy sustained an injury in Week 1</a>, but Hollywood Brown stepped up and reminded everyone that he is a great receiver. It was simply a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/chiefs-most-to-blame-for-week-1-loss-to-chargers">slow start that most cost the Chiefs</a> their first game of the year.</p><p>Kansas City has so much high-level and winning experience that there is almost no way that will happen again. The offense started to click in the second half against the Los Angeles Chargers, and both the offensive line and the defense as a whole should improve in Week 2. Jawaan Taylor, for example, committed four penalties in Week 1. It was an inexcusable performance from the tackle. But Taylor is a solid blocker and should pick things up going forward.</p><p>It is fair to question if the Eagles are as talented as they were last year, though. They <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/philadelphia-eagles/why-super-bowl-champion-eagles-are-2025-nfl-free-agencys-biggest-loser">lost a ton of talent in the offseason</a>, and they only narrowly squeezed past the Dallas Cowboys last week.</p><p>The Chiefs have made five of the last six Super Bowls, and they’ve won three of them. They didn’t lose much talent from the team that made it to the last game of the season last year, either. The Chiefs are just as big of a threat as ever, and they will prove that with a sizable win over the Eagles in Week 2.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Chiefs vs. Eagles Week 2 outcome will look drastically different than Super Bowl 59

They’ve actually given a little bit more, it’s not just day to day. It’s more of a week to week and I think the fact that he’s being put on short-term IR is good for now. I think those are one of those situations where they have to wait and see and see how the week progresses as well. But for now, I think that’s good.

Despite a solid outing from Patrick Mahomes, who threw for 258 yards, one touchdown, and a 61.5% completion rate, the Chiefs failed to find consistency on either side of the ball.

Mahomes was under constant pressure during that game, which motivated Kansas City to invest heavily in its offensive line unit this offseason.</p><h2><b>A big early test for the Chiefs</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Travis-Kelce-.jpg"><figcaption>Amanda Perobelli/Reuters via Imagn Images.</figcaption></figure><p>The Kansas City Chiefs immediately got themselves behind the eight ball with last week’s lethargic loss vs the Chargers, and they have a chance to find themselves in real trouble with a loss to Philadelphia.</p><p>While an 0-2 start is by no means a death sentence in a 17-game season, it’s safe to say that Kansas City would rather not have to climb out of that hole in a division that features the Chargers, the upstart Denver Broncos, and a sneaky-good Las Vegas Raiders team.</p><p>Beating Philadelphia on Sunday would also give Kansas City a big boost of confidence and allow them to shake off some demons that may still exist from last year’s Super Bowl matchup between the two squads.</p><p>In any case, the Chiefs and Eagles are slated to get things underway on Sunday at 4:25 PM ET from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Already missing Rashee Rice for six games due to his suspension, wide receiver and 2024 first-round pick Xavier Worthy was injured minutes into the game. The worst part? It was friendly fire that hurt Worthy: <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/chiefs-news-xavier-worthy-chargers-game-travis-kelce-collision">tight end Travis Kelce collided with Worthy, leading to the injury. </a></p><p>Rubbing salt onto the wound, the Chiefs lost to the Chargers for the first time since 2021. The reigning AFC champions will now start the season 0-1, and will have to play the next few weeks without their WR1 and WR2.</p><p>Kelce fully owned up to accidentally hurting his teammate. On his weekly podcast “New Heights”, the Chiefs tight end said that h<a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1965788689600024702" rel="noopener">e ran his route wrong</a> and that it’s inexcusable for him to run that route wrong.</p><p>“I’m supposed to be running my route at depth for Worthy,” Kelce said on the podcast, per Ian Rapoport. “So, it’s frustrating for me. I was trying to kind of set up my guy to be able to get into position, and it all just happened pretty quick. I just gotta be better, man. I’m 13 years in the league. There is no excuse for me running into my own guys like that…”</p><p>The play that Worthy got injured on was a classic play design that football fans should be familiar with. Kelce and Worth were running a mesh concept, a play that involves two receivers running routes that “rub” against each other. The idea behind it is that one of the receivers will essentially set a “pick” for the other. However, one of the Chiefs’ receivers ran the route at the wrong depth, causing Kelce and Worthy to collide.</p><p>Thankfully, Worthy avoided a serious injury. While the Chiefs receiver did suffer a shoulder injury, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/kansas-city-chiefs/chiefs-news-andy-reid-provides-breath-fresh-air-xavier-worthy-injury-update">the team is optimistic that the wide receiver will be returning to the field</a> sooner rather than later.</p><p>The Chiefs will be facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles this week, a rematch of last year’s Super Bowl.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

With the result, Harbaugh improved to 6-0 in Week 1 games as an NFL head coach, tying the record for most opening wins without a loss, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.</p><p>More importantly, he proved his Chargers are capable of taking down the defending AFC champions on a global stage. Justin Herbert led the way with 318 passing yards, three touchdowns, and 32 rushing yards, while receivers Quentin Johnson and Keenan Allen combined for three scores.</p><p>The bigger picture, however, is Harbaugh’s trajectory. The Chiefs have owned the AFC West for nine straight years, but evaluators now believe that streak could be in jeopardy.</p><p>“He has a team that can win the West, which would be an accomplishment,” one NFC executive told ESPN, <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46208174/nfl-executives-pick-award-winners-2025-predicting-mvp-top-rookies-player-year-honors-comeback-stars-breakouts" rel="noopener">speaking about his promising start</a> with the Chargers.</p><p>Analysts have noted how offensive coordinator Greg Roman’s system has evolved in Year 2, with Herbert throwing more than he did in 2024 while still maintaining balance. Los Angeles scored in all four quarters and wasn’t afraid to throw late with a lead, showing Harbaugh’s adaptability.</p><p>At 12-6 since his arrival, the Chargers look like a complete team built to contend, and Harbaugh’s name is already surfacing in early Coach of the Year discussions.</p><p>His impact goes beyond the box score. Jim Harbaugh’s leadership has instilled a new edge in the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nfl/los-angeles-chargers/chargers-news-jim-harbaugh-speech-brazil-game">Chargers’ locker room, with toughness and detail-oriented preparation</a> standing out. Beating Kansas City in Week 1 is not just a big win; it’s a statement that Los Angeles is no longer content to play second fiddle in the AFC West. If Harbaugh manages to break the Chiefs’ division stranglehold, it could cement his case for Coach of the Year.</p><p>Fans got a taste of that new culture in Harbaugh’s fiery game-ball ceremony after the win, a clip that quickly went viral. His passion showed a united team ready to push past old barriers. For a franchise searching for consistency, Harbaugh might be the missing piece.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

If there was one receiver they could look at bringing to the team, it’s Tyreek Hill.</p><p>Hill has had his frustrations with the Miami Dolphins dating back to last season, and a trade may be something that he’s open to. At some point, it could be <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46208962/nfl-week-2-buzz-news-updates-fantasy-intel-questions-predictions" rel="noopener">something that’s a possibility</a>, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.</p><p>“Trade rumors around Tyreek Hill will be worth watching,” Fowler wrote. “My understanding is that Miami received calls on Hill but did not show interest in trading him. If the losing persists, perhaps those phone lines reopen. The Dolphins already exercised Hill’s $15.85 million option bonus, leaving a $10 million base salary and $1.8 million in per-game bonuses.</p><p>“A Chiefs reunion is low-hanging fruit and could be what Kansas City needs. The Chiefs can’t seem to get their receiving trio of Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice and Hollywood Brown on the field at the same time, and a boost of explosiveness would help.”</p><p>With how the Dolphins opened the season, some have lost confidence in what they could do as a team, and it wouldn’t be a surprise if they became sellers if they keep losing.</p><h2><b>Could Tyreek Hill reunite with the Chiefs?</b></h2><p>Hill won a championship with the Chiefs, he was a key part of their success on offense from 2016 to 2021. If the Chiefs were to trade for him, it’s uncertain if they’ll get that same player, as he’s also had issues in the locker room that need to be sorted out, according to ESPN’s Dan Graziano.</p><p>“The Chiefs obviously know Hill from early in his career and could convince themselves he’d play better for them than he’s playing for Miami,” Graziano wrote. “But it has been a long time since we’ve seen Hill be an explosive player. If he doesn’t start playing better, it’s going to be tough for the Dolphins to find a trade partner.”</p><p>If Hill could be close to the player he was when he was with the Chiefs, that would be a plus for Kansas City. The only thing to think about at this moment is if the Dolphins would trade Hill, or if they still see him as a valuable piece to the team.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
