Super Bowl 2025: Eagles deny Chiefs a three-peat with dominant 40-22 win
SUMMARY
The Philadelphia Eagles soared to victory in Super Bowl LIX, denying the Kansas City Chiefs a historic three-peat with a commanding 40-22 win at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Quarterback Jalen Hurts delivered a stellar performance, earning Super Bowl MVP honors with 222 passing yards, two touchdown throws, and 72 rushing yards, including a touchdown on the ground. Hurts reflected on his journey since their narrow loss to the Chiefs two years ago, saying, "The good, the bad, all of it — using it as fuel to pursue my own greatness. I couldn't do any of these things without the guys around me." Despite an early interception, Hurts led the Eagles' offense with poise, while kicker Jake Elliott contributed four field goals. The Eagles' defense was equally dominant, sacking Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes six times and forcing three turnovers, including a pick-six by rookie Cooper DeJean.
