The key here was keeping the running backs quiet. Hurts just had a great day you can't account for some of his plays. On another day his productivity is 20-30% less at least.

Spags is the man. Best DC the Chiefs ever had.

With our offense, we just needed to keep the Eagles out of the endzone on two drives to flip the game.
On a day where both defenses were playing in a skating rink, Spags was able to pull it off. |

And I felt like he kept using them in critical situations. But I also wonder if those weren't designed more to attack the run than the pass. I think they were just really focused on bottling up the ground game and forcing Hurts to the middle with his runs. |

That's it - he gets one yard and then is done every single time. What value would you put on that guy? My position was that I'd give a 1st rounder for that guy without blinking and I think last night watching the frustration of KNOWING that the Eagles could get 1 yard anytime they wanted I'm only more convinced. They can do things on 2nd and 3rd down differently because they know that they'll get that yard if they need it in short yardage situations. I've never seen a team that just spams a concept like that and it ALWAYS works. G'damn it was frustrating. |

So, Spags took away their run game. I said in one of the pre-game threads that I wanted to see our defense somehow hold the PHI rushing attack to under 4 yds/carry. Well, they did that. In spades, to the tune of 2.7yds/carry. He basically dared Hurts to beat his defense by throwing it. And who could've predicted that Hurts would throw as well as he did? I mean, he was throwing dimes and darts all over the yard. That one to Goedert on the 7 route or whatever it was to the sideline between a pair of our defenders was a pure-D dot. He couldn't have trotted over and handed the ball to Goedert as precisely. And he had a lot of throws like that, catches that were contested, but he just threw a better ball than could be defended. that's not on Spags, that was just an elite performance by Hurts and his receivers. |

our defense was as disaster the year before spags and the Chiefs lost if they didn't put up at least 40, even lost while putting up 50 before Spags.
People were acting like we weren't playing the NFC champs and that the defense should just dominate. The Eagles had a pretty good defense you know and I'm sure their fans were complaining about their defense more than we were about ours. Spags is good, he good. |

I still have no idea why they didn’t call timeout during either 4th down just to figure out a good playcall, no less give the guys a breather. Bolton was beat but it looked like he was tired from being on the field so much at the time. Not sure if calling a TJ noir would be an Andy or Spags thing for the defense |
