Week 2 preview: Eagles-Chiefs Super Bowl rematch tops the slate

About this episode

<p>Week 2 marks our first real preview episode of the season, and what a helluva week it is. For starters, we've got a Super Bowl LIX rematch between the Eagles and Chiefs. We also get a number of teams or units that surprised us in Week 1—the Jaguars defense and Colts offense to name two—getting much different tests in Week 2. And hey, the internet's favorite quarterbacks, Justin Herbert and Geno Smith, are playing against one another on Monday night. Robert Mays, Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman dig deep into Week 2 on this episode of The Athletic Football Show.</p><br><p>Rundown (timestamps are approximate)</p><p>5:05 Game of the Week: Eagles at Chiefs</p><p>30:59 Brock Purdy's injury</p><p>36:30 A much tougher test for the Colts offense</p><p>43:52 Jets might not be the pushover opponent for the Bills they appeared to be</p><p>50:32 Battle of the internet's favorite QBs, Justin Herbert and Geno Smith</p><p>57:48 Sicko Street: The Jaguars defense</p><p>1:05:34 Sicko Street: The Titans defense</p><p>1:13:11 Under the Hood: J.J.
