Defensive Masterclass
The Eagles' defense, led by coordinator Vic Fangio, delivered a historic performance, stifling the Chiefs' high-powered offense. They sacked Patrick Mahomes six times, the most he has ever endured in a single NFL game, without blitzing once. Josh Sweat led the charge with 2.5 sacks, while Milton Williams added two more.
Rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean celebrated his 22nd birthday, becoming the second first-year player to record a pick-six in a Super Bowl. The interception returned for a touchdown early in the second quarter pushed the Eagles' lead to 17-0.
Offensive Firepower
Quarterback Jalen Hurts earned Super Bowl MVP honors with a stellar performance, completing 17 of 22 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns.. He also led the team in rushing with 72 yards and added another score on the ground. Despite the high expectations, Eagle running back Saquon Barkley rushed for 57 yards on 25 carries.
Chiefs' Struggles
The Chiefs' offense, usually a model of efficiency, struggled mightily against the Eagles' relentless defense. Mahomes finished with 257 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions, but most of those stats came in garbage time. The Chiefs didn't cross midfield until the final two minutes of the third quarter, highlighting the team's offensive woes.
Historic Implications
This victory marks the Eagles' second Super Bowl title in the last eight seasons, cementing their status as one of the NFL's premier franchises. For the Chiefs, the loss ends their bid to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
Taylor Swift's Streak Broken
Rhode Island's summer resident Taylor Swift’s presence couldn’t help the Chiefs. They lost for the first time in 10 games this season with Swift in a suite watching her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, who didn’t catch a pass until late in the third quarter.
Trump
Donald Trump was the first President to attend the Super Bowl. He predicted that Kansas City would win the game.
