Chiefs DL George Karlaftis brings impressive streak into matchup vs. Eagles

The Kansas City Chiefs pass rush wouldn’t be nearly as effective as it has been through nine games without the efforts of second-year defensive lineman George Karlaftis up front.

According to Pro Football Focus, Karlaftis has tallied at least four pressures in every game that Kansas City has played this season. His 47 total pressures are tied for 10th place among all players in the NFL, and his position on the list could improve with a standout showing against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football in Week 11.

Few players have dominated opposing offensive lines like Karlaftis, and in just his sophomore season with the Chiefs, the promising young pass rusher seems destined for greatness.

Expect Karlaftis to pair with Chris Jones, Charles Omenihu, and Mike Danna to wreak havoc on the Eagles’ offensive line on Monday as Kansas City looks to win its Super Bowl LVII rematch against Philadelphia in primetime.
