It was supposed to be a coronation for the Chiefs. How many times in the week leading up to the game was it uttered that it’s impossible to beat Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid in a big game? Of all the possible results for this Super Bowl, the only one that didn’t seem possible was the Eagles blowing out Kansas City, but it happened. The Eagles defense unfathomably made Mahomes look like one of the worst players on the field in the first half as they built a 24-0 halftime lead.
The Eagles’ defense was relentless, shutting out the Chiefs in the first half and holding them to 22 yards of total offense. Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes struggled under the Eagles’ pressure, being sacked six times and throwing two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown.
This victory marks the Eagles’ second Super Bowl win in the past decade, solidifying their place among the NFL’s elite teams. The Chiefs, despite their efforts, couldn’t overcome the Eagles’ dominant performance and fell short of making history.
