3. Jalen Hurts will be running for his life

The Chiefs haven’t done a great job of getting pressure this season, partly because Frank Clark has been missing for two weeks.

Clark has been limited in practice this week and is getting closer to a return. However, this could be the perfect week for guys like Michael Danna to have more of an impact going against an Eagles offensive line that’s in turmoil.

Philadelphia has three starters n the injury report, including Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson and Landon Dickerson. Their offensive line wasn’t much to write home about, to begin with, so the shuffling could make them even more vulnerable.

Jalen Hurts having mobility should help the Eagles since he’s able to get out of trouble with his legs. Still, the Chiefs can look forward to some more success in the pass rush this week.

Kansas City had six games with three or more sacks in the regular season last year. Look for them to hit that number for the first time this season against the Eagles.
