The Philadelphia Eagles delivered a commanding 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, securing their second championship in franchise history. The Eagles overwhelmed the defending champions with a relentless offensive attack and a stifling defense that kept Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs’ high-powered offense in check.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts led the Eagles with a stellar performance, throwing for 289 yards and three touchdowns while adding a rushing score. Wide receiver A.J. Brown was a key target, hauling in two touchdown receptions and totaling 127 receiving yards. Running back D’Andre Swift provided a strong ground presence, contributing 85 rushing yards and a touchdown.
The Eagles set the tone early, scoring on their opening drive with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Hurts to Brown. The Chiefs responded with a field goal, but the Eagles’ defense tightened, forcing two turnovers in the first half. Linebacker Haason Reddick sacked Mahomes twice, while cornerback James Bradberry intercepted a pass intended for Travis Kelce, swinging momentum in Philadelphia’s favor.
Philadelphia entered halftime with a 24-10 lead, thanks to a late second-quarter touchdown catch by DeVonta Smith. Kansas City attempted a comeback in the third quarter, with Mahomes orchestrating a touchdown drive capped by a five-yard pass to Kelce. However, the Eagles quickly regained control with a 67-yard touchdown reception by Brown on the ensuing possession.
The fourth quarter saw Philadelphia seal the win with a dominant defensive effort. A strip-sack by Josh Sweat led to a fumble recovery and a short-yardage touchdown run by Hurts, extending the lead to 40-16. The Chiefs managed a late score, but it was too little, too late as the Eagles celebrated their victory on the field.
With the win, Philadelphia avenged their previous Super Bowl loss to Kansas City and cemented their place as one of the NFL’s top teams. Hurts was named Super Bowl MVP for his exceptional performance, solidifying his status as one of the league’s elite quarterbacks. The Eagles now look ahead to the next season with confidence, aiming to defend their title and continue their dominance.
