The Kansas City Chiefs defense isn’t messing around in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The unit has accumulated five sacks against quarterback Jalen Hurts through the first half and may add to their impressive total in the third and fourth quarters as they look to earn their eighth win of the 2023 season.
Star defenders Chris Jones and Trent McDuffie both registered two sacks in the game’s first two frames, and second-year defensive lineman George Karlaftis secured the final sack of the half to give Patrick Mahomes a chance to add to Kansas City’s lead before the intermission.
The outstanding effort of the Chiefs’ defense has been a sight to behold in this Super Bowl LVII rematch, and Philadelphia looks totally overwhelmed by their incredible effectiveness in the pass rush.
Check out all five of Kansas City’s first half sacks here to see just how terrifying the Chiefs defense can be when it is firing on all cylinders:
