Philadelphia Eagles upset reigning back to back SuperBowl Champions the Kansas City Chiefs to win SuperBowl 59. Final Score Eagles 40 - Chiefs 22.
By halftime many knew the Eagles were going to win the Superbowl, the Chiefs didn’t score any points in the first half, whilst the Eagles scored 24 points. Patrick Mahomes seemed to be very off during the entire game. He quickly threw two interceptions in the first half as well.
The Chiefs had a staggering 3 turnovers and Patrick Mahomes got sacked 6 times.
Jalen Hurts had one of the best nights of his career whilst throwing for a 77.1 PCT , 221 passing yards, 2 tds, and 1 int. Patrick Mahomes threw for a 65.6 PCT , 257 passing yards, 3 tds, and 2 ints. Mahomes had a passer rating of 95.4 and Hurts had a rating of 119.7.
The Eagles’ defense completely destroyed the Chiefs offense with 6 sacks, 2 interceptions, and a whole lot of pressure on Patrick Mahomes. The Eagles were able to generate a 38.1% pressuring rate without blitzing, just their front four Defensive Lineman. They pressured Mahomes 16 different times, and the 6 sacks he endured have been the most ever in his NFL Career.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, in great spirits but still being humble like always, tells America “God is Good”.
When asked about how it feels to finally win after all the hardship Hurts responded with:
“Personally, myself, I’ve just been able to use every experience and learn from it … using it as fuel to pursue my own greatness. And I think I couldn’t do any of these things without the guys around me.”
Hurts has gone through a lot of tough times with losing such as losing to the Chiefs two years prior in Super Bowl 57.
Many are happy to finally see a new Super Bowl Winner other than the great Kansas City Chiefs, mostly because of Taylor Swift and her boyfriend Travis Kelce. Regardless of these opinions the Eagles were able to pull off this great feat and became the Super Bowl 59 Champions.
