Just heard a Chris Jones clip on NFL Network in which he said Chiefs forced Hurts to throw from the pocket, "and we were successful." Well, he was 27 for 38 for 304, a touchdown, and a 103.4 passer rating, while running 15 times for 70 and 3 TDs but sure, your team won, whatever.

Spoke with NFL management source (not from Eagles) about the Wentz melodrama. His viewpoint: If Wentz doesn’t want the Bears, Bears aren’t gonna trade for him. Eventually the Eagles take whatever Indy is offering, maybe a second plus something. Also, Eagles draft a QB 6th overall
