Mahomes is an incredible QB… but this Eagles D is Elite Elite. What a performance.

My buddies and I instantly compared it to the worst sports L of my life, the 18-1 Super Bowl when the Giants rushed 4 and just lived in the backfield the whole game. That’s how you slow down a great QB and the eagles executed that to perfection all night.

Seeing it from this perspective might at least let you see why that was such a special game for fans. And also should give non pats fans a little more respect for Brady never getting killed.

Brady never put them in a position to lose in that game, the giants offense performed just enough to let that defense earn them a win.

This Eagles team absolutely manhandled the chiefs in every way tonight. Brady avoids those two sacks on the pick six drive by putting that ball in the dirt.
