Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes says the Chiefs will have to take their game to another level if they want to avenge a Super Bowl defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in a mouthwatering rematch on Sunday.
The clash at the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium highlights the second Sunday of NFL action some seven months after the Eagles thrashed the Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl 59 -- denying Kansas City a three-peat in the championship showpiece.
