Halfway through the second quarter, the Chiefs would take a timeout as the Eagles began to roll with a 25-9 lead at the 4:50 mark.

Issac Harmon would come into the game with a little over two minutes left in the second quarter. The crowd cheered loud in celebration as the Atlantic guard has missed a good portion of the season due to injury.

The Eagles would cruise for much of the second half as the Chiefs could not get much going after their run.
