NFL THURSDAY NIGHT THREAD WEEK 3
Sky Sports, 1AM
Kansas City Chiefs @ Philadelphia Eagles
This time last year, this would be considered a damp squib but now, we have one of the potentially most intriguing games of the season. Both teams have started well (though the Eagles stumbled at home to San Diego) and both have new, fairly exciting coaching approaches to the game, Kansas's being of course ex-Eagles coach Andy Reid.
The Chiefs have been quietly impressive so far under Reid and QB Alex Smith, getting a tough, last minute win against Dallas at the weekend. The Eagles however look explosive for once rather than implosive, under Chip Kelly, meaning there's a lot of great story lines in this one.
Eagles I think will be hurting too much from their home loss to San Diego to let it happen again, and so I think will edge the Chiefs out of this, but it should be very close and very fun.
