The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 on Sunday to win the Super Bowl, preventing their opponents from securing a historic third consecutive title.
Playing in their fifth Super Bowl in six years, the Chiefs entered the game with hopes of a rare three-peat. However, the Eagles asserted their dominance in New Orleans, proving why they have had the best defense in the NFL this season.
Kansas City’s star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was sacked six times and threw two interceptions as the Chiefs’ bid for NFL immortality came to an end in the Superdome.
It is the Eagles’ second Super Bowl victory having first won it in 2017.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts stepped up to silence critics who question his passing game, throwing a stunning 46-yard touchdown pass to seal a humbling defeat for the Chiefs.
The win was revenge for the Eagles’ 38-35 Super Bowl defeat by the Chiefs two years ago.
That time, Hurts put in a fine performance, but ended up on the losing side.
This year, he helped Philly put the game beyond the Chiefs and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player.
