Eagles easily beat Chiefs to claim iconic Super Bowl victory
February 10, 2025The Philadelphia Eagles delivered a resounding 40-22 defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs, thwarting their bid for an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl victory. Despite pre-game excitement surrounding the possibility of a three-peat, the Eagles’ dominant defense stifled the Chiefs’ high-powered offense throughout the game.
Kansas City’s superstar quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, struggled against Philadelphia’s relentless defense, enduring six sacks and throwing two interceptions. The Eagles’ Cooper DeJean capitalized on one of these turnovers, returning an interception for a 38-yard touchdown.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, often scrutinized for his passing ability, silenced critics with a stellar performance, including a decisive 46-yard touchdown pass. This victory was especially meaningful for Hurts, who had previously suffered a 38-35 Super Bowl defeat against the Chiefs two years prior.
Celebrities and notable figures were in attendance, including President Donald Trump, the first sitting US president to attend the Super Bowl, and singer Taylor Swift, who cheered on her boyfriend Travis Kelce, the Kansas City tight end.
Despite the Chiefs’ dismal first half and the Eagles’ commanding lead, Kansas City managed to avoid a shutout. Mahomes connected with Xavier Worthy for a touchdown in the final minutes, though it was too little, too late. Ultimately, the Eagles’ defense proved insurmountable, denying the Chiefs a chance to make NFL history with a Super Bowl three-peat.
