D'Andre Swift rushed for a touchdown and had 107 scrimmage yards (76 rushing, 31 receiving) as the Eagles, whoown the best record in the NFL at 9-1, won their fourth straight game. DeVonta Smith caught six passes for 99 yards, including a long one that set up the winning score.
Patrick Mahomes threw two touchdowns but also threw two interceptions and finished with just 177 passing yards. He completed 24 of 43 passes for the Chiefs. Travis Kelce and Justin Watson had touchdown receptions for Kansas City (7-3).

Philadelphia moved ahead for the first time at 21-17 with 6:20 remaining.
The touchdown was set up by Hurts' 41-yard pass to Smith to the Kansas City 1-yard line. The Eagles then called for the 'Tush Push' and Hurts received the usual extra help while plunging in for the score.
