Eagles Top Chiefs to Win Super Bowl, Led By Jalen Hurts and a Brilliant Defensive Performance
The Philadelphia Eagles are back on top, securing their second Super Bowl title with a decisive 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Led by quarterback Jalen Hurts and a stifling defensive performance, the Eagles controlled the game from start to finish, denying Kansas City a historic three-peat.
Jalen Hurts Shines as Super Bowl MVP
Hurts delivered a masterclass performance, earning Super Bowl MVP honors after completing 17-of-21 passes for 221 yards and two touchdowns. He also broke his own Super Bowl rushing record for a quarterback with 72 yards and added a touchdown on the ground. His deep 46-yard pass to DeVonta Smith in the third quarter put the game out of reach, extending Philadelphia’s lead to 34-0.

Eagles’ Defense Shuts Down Mahomes
Philadelphia’s defense made life difficult for Patrick Mahomes, limiting the Chiefs to just 225 total yards. The Eagles forced three turnovers, including a second-quarter interception returned for a touchdown by Cooper DeJean. Mahomes managed 257 passing yards and three touchdowns but also threw two interceptions and lost a fumble, unable to mount a meaningful comeback.
Hurts’ Redemption Story
Jalen Hurts’ journey to the top has been anything but conventional. Once benched in college and overlooked in the first round of the NFL Draft, he silenced all doubts with a dominant Super Bowl performance. This victory not only cements his place among the league’s elite quarterbacks but also provides redemption after falling short against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.
A Legacy Defined
The Eagles’ emphatic win marks a new chapter in franchise history, solidifying Nick Sirianni’s leadership and proving that Philadelphia is built for sustained success. Meanwhile, the Chiefs fall short in their bid for history, leaving Mahomes with a 3-2 record in Super Bowl appearances.
