With the new score bug beneath them, the Eagles fielded the opening kickoff before embarking on an uninspiring five-play, 10-yard drive that ended in a 53-yard Braden Mann punt.
After a Chiefs punt on their opening drive, the Eagles struck first later in the quarter with a tush push touchdown to cap off a seven-play, 69-yard drive.
