The Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday won their franchise’s second Super Bowl championship, putting an end to the Kansas City Chiefs’ dream of a three-peat with a dominant and complete performance on both sides of the ball, winning 40-22. The Eagles forced Patrick Mahomes and the high-powered Chiefs offense into looking ordinary at best, pressing the superstar quarterback into numerous mistakes – none bigger than the two second-quarter interceptions that blew open what had been a tight game. The first pick, by Cooper DeJean, was returned for a touchdown after Mahomes simply didn’t see him as he scrambled away from the omnipresent Eagles pass rush. The second was the backbreaker as edge rusher Josh Sweat pushed one of Mahomes’ offensive lineman into the quarterback as he threw, knocking him off balance. Zach Baun dove and the linebacker grabbed the ball at the Chiefs’ 14-yard line, allowing the Eagles to go up by 24 just before halftime. On the other side of the ball, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts simply put in one of the best performances of his career. The fifth-year quarterback looked assured and calm under the bright lights, setting a new Super Bowl record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 72 yards and going 17-for-22 for another 221 yards. He was named Super Bowl MVP for his efforts. “I just wanted to think about all the effort, all the work, that was put in over the course of time,” Hurts said of his thoughts after the game. “We got a focused group out there. Offense was able to score points and take advantage of opportunities. … and the defense played their a** off.” It took a few drives, but the game eventually settled into a rhythm of Philadelphia moving the ball and the Chiefs being unable to get anything going.
