Eagles coach Doug Pederson needs to do more to protect Carson Wentz

But Hunt’s nap was more message than respite.

“I learned a lot from him”, Pederson said. Its one thing if he is playing center and getting man- handled, I could accept that, but he is playing left guard, a pretty pivotal spot in the line considering it is part of Carson’s blind side and that they run most of their run plays to that side.

This Sunday, Philadelphia has a tough road match-up in Kansas City.

“His attention to detail, his drive, his motivation, how well he motivates his players and gets the most out of players I think are some of the biggest things that I’ve taken away from him”, Pederson said. Current Eagles back up quarterback Nick Foles was drafted by Reid when he was in Philly and started (and won) a game for the Chiefs last season. The list ahead of him: Ottis Anderson (302), William Andrews (288), Billy Sims (287), Cadillac Williams (276), Marshall Faulk (247), Earl Campbell (244), Charlie Garner (233) and Edgerrin James (230). The next best of that group: Sims at 6.8. Now, he wasn’t having himself the best game until the second half when he broke off a big run for a touchdown, but still. Hunt, who was on the cover of last week’s “Sports Illustrated” after his impressive debut at New England, had 13 carries for 82 yards and two touchdowns while also catching three passes for 28 yards against the Eagles.

The first game between the two teams was in October, 1972.

The Chiefs’ defense dominated the Patriots last week, especially in the second quarter.

You can go all the way back to 1960 and Abner Haynes to see how strong the running back position has been for the Chiefs.

The credit for the win against the Redskins goes the Philadelphia defense which was more than effective, limiting the Redskins to just 17 points as they forced four turnovers. Andy Reid, the head coach of the Chiefs, was formerly the head coach of the Eagles.

“We talked about a lot of stuff”, Pederson said.

Conventional NFL wisdom says that defenses will eventually learn to sniff this play out and come up with ways to keep Kelce from rampaging up the middle of the field.

That interception, by the way, came immediately after Wendell Smallwood was stopped for a two-yard loss on a first-down rushing attempt.

“He said, ‘I’m going to hate this jersey for the rest of my life.’ That’s what he told me”, Travis Kelce recounted after the game. “Some speed, some power. Just being able to finish, you just need to fight for every yard”.

Here are some notes from the game:1. That put the Chiefs up 13-10. That ties Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez as the ninth-fastest tight end to reach that milestone. By comparison, Wentz attempted 39 passes, ran the ball four times himself and was sacked twice. Ertz caught the ball off the deflection and picked up 53 yards to the Chiefs 11.

Earlier this week, the Houston Texans went on the road to OH to play the Cincinnati Bengals on NFL Thursday Night Football. The O-line blocked it perfectly up front and from there it was just to the house.
