This matchup will see the first return of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid to his former Eagles team.
Reid lead the Eagles to nine playoff appearances, six NFC East titles, five conference championships and a Super Bowl berth, and it is expected that he'll be engulfed with a lot of emotions in his first appearance on the visiting side of Lincoln Financial Field.
However, when addressing the public Reid has been more concerned with preparing his new team to face an Eagles squad that has scored 63 points in just two games.
"In this business you're focused in on getting your team ready to play," Reid told the Chiefs' official website. "That's where my energy is going to go. I haven't really thought about that other part at all. I don't necessarily plan on thinking about that. I want to make sure I concentrate on the game at hand and anything else becomes a distraction and I'm not going to let that happen.
"Every coach tells you these Thursday nights, it's a quick turnaround, and you just have to go. It's something you have to do. You buckle down and make sure you get it done."
The Eagles are also sticking to the game plan and have not concerned themselves with Reid's return.
"It's just another football game," said Philadelphia's Michael Vick, who has thrown for 631 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions while posting the NFL's third-highest passer rating at 119.0. "We have to get ready, we can't focus on the whole dynamic of the situation. We have a football game to prepare for, and we have to do everything to ensure that we have a chance to win the football game. That is what is most important. It's our third game in 11 days, but we're conditioned for it.
"We're ready for it."
