Eagles Take Control Early
Right from the start, the Eagles came out strong. Jalen Hurts led a well-balanced offensive attack, making smart throws and using his legs when needed. In the first quarter, he threw a beautiful 25-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown, giving the Eagles an early lead. Meanwhile, the Eagles’ defense was on fire, pressuring Patrick Mahomes and keeping the Chiefs off the scoreboard.
Things only got worse for Kansas City in the second quarter. Hurts found DeVonta Smith for another touchdown and Saquon Barkley ran in a 15-yard score. The Eagles’ defense continued to shut down Mahomes, forcing the Chiefs to go into halftime trailing 24-0.
Chiefs Try to Fight Back
The third quarter saw the Chiefs finally wake up. Mahomes connected with Travis Kelce for a 12-yard touchdown, putting the Chiefs on the board. But just as Kansas City got some momentum, Hurts responded immediately—breaking free for a 30-yard touchdown run. A Jake Elliott field goal made it 34-6, keeping the Eagles in full control.
The fourth quarter saw a late surge from the Chiefs. Mahomes threw a 20-yard touchdown to JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Isiah Pacheco ran in a 5-yard score, closing the gap to 34-22. But the Eagles didn’t let them get any closer. Barkley broke loose for a 40-yard touchdown run, sealing the win with a final score of 40-22.
Key Performances
- Jalen Hurts was the MVP, throwing for 221 yards, 2 touchdowns, and rushing for 72 yards and another touchdown.
- A.J. Brown & DeVonta Smith made key catches and each had a touchdown.
- Saquon Barkley was a major weapon, rushing for over 100 yards and two touchdowns.
- The Eagles’ defense was unstoppable, sacking Mahomes six times and forcing two turnovers.
Chiefs’ Struggles
The Chiefs never got into rhythm, struggling against the Eagles' tough defense. Mahomes finished with 250 yards, 2 TDs, and 2 interceptions, but spent most of the game running from pressure. Travis Kelce, one of his biggest weapons, had only 4 catches for 39 yards—a quiet night for the star tight end.
A Historic Win
This victory was sweet revenge for the Eagles, who lost to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII two years ago. The win also solidified Hurts as an elite quarterback, proving he can perform on the biggest stage. Meanwhile, the Chiefs head into the offseason with a lot of questions about how to improve after missing out on their three-peat.
For now, though, Philadelphia celebrates a well-deserved championship.
