The Kansas City Chiefs defense showed up to play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 11. After Patrick Mahomes was unable to move the offense on Kansas City’s first drive, defensive back Trent McDuffie responded when Philadelphia took possession, sacking Jalen Hurts on a crucial third down to stall the Eagles.
Check out McDuffie’s impressive effort on this play that helped keep momentum on the Chiefs’ side early in the Super Bowl LVII rematch:

McDuffie will need to keep up his intensity as this game wears on if he intends to help Kansas City secure its eighth win of the 2023 season.
Plays like this have been typical for the second-year defensive back this year, and have contributed to his rise to become one of the NFL’s most promising young players.
Expect the Chiefs to feed off his energy as they look to maintain their lead in the AFC playoff standings on Monday Night Football.
