Andy Reid's coaching return to Philadelphia was a success Thursday night as he guided the Kansas City Chiefs past the Eagles 26-16.
 
     The Chiefs' defense forced four turnovers and sacked Michael Vick five times, 3 1/2 by linebacker Justin Houston. Kansas City (3-0) has won more games already under Reid than it did all of last season (2-14).
 
     Kansas City, which has not had a giveaway this season, got a 38-yard interception return by Eric Berry for a touchdown, and a 3-yard scoring run by Jamaal Charles, who had 175 total offensive yards.
Ryan Succop kicked four field goals.
 
     KC never trailed in the game and put it away with an 8-minute scoring drive in the fourth quarter. 
The Chiefs offense scored only one touchdown for the second straight week, but got a huge lift from wide-receiver Donnie Avery, who had 7 catches for 141 yards.

Philadelphia took advantage of poor play by the Chiefs offensive line and the Eagles had five sacks.
      
     Andy Reid returned to a standing ovation Thursday night at the stadium where he led the Philadelphia Eagles to some of their greatest victories. Reid received a warm welcome from a sellout crowd at the Linc. Reid won 140 games and six division titles in Philadelphia.

The Kansas City Chiefs scratched their top two tight ends on their depth chart, Anthony Fasano and Travis Kelce, for Thursday night's game at Philadelphia.   Fasano, who has four receptions for 34 yards, has an injured ankle. Kelce has a bruised right knee.
 
     Also inactive for the Chiefs are quarterback Tyler Bray, linebackers Josh Martin and Nico Johnson, center Eric Kush, and defensive tackle Jaye Howard.
 

The Chiefs next face the New York Giants on Sunday, September 29th at Arrowhead Stadium.
