The Eagles of Philadelphia interrupted the history of the NFL on its tracks, while they dominated the Chiefs of Kansas City, 40-22, to win the Super Bowl Lix at the Superdome Caesars in New Orleans on Sunday evening.
The chiefs were trying to be the first team in the history of the NFL to win three consecutive super bowls, but the Eagles, a team that lost against the chiefs two seasons in the “Big Game”, to take revenge.
Philadelphia now has its second Lombardi trophy for the organization, after defeating Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in 2018.

Those who thought that the Eagles would win this game did not see it coming in this way, because they dominated the chiefs in the three phases of the start of this game until the end.
The Chiefs, one of the best NFL offenses this season, and a team that has an obvious story in this match in the past two years, had only 34 yards in total in first half while defense Eagles was booming against the double offensive.
Mahomes has never been comfortable, and it showed because they have botped their first three goods. Meanwhile, despite doing the first possession, the Eagles were able to enter the goal area the second discount.

After moving to the field, Jalen Hurts found Jahan Dotson for a 28 yards strike, which was initially considered the first hit in the match. But, after examination, Dotson was spotted on the line of a yard.
But you know what’s going on there.
Hurts was pushed to Tash in the goals to put the Eagles at 7-0, and they did not look back after that.
It was clear in the two halves how uncomfortable Mahomas was, while the Eagles passes rush continued to go home, regardless of the number of players sent by the defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.

Mahomes was dismissed at most five times in a single match in 2024, and the Eagles raised six in the night, presenting their domination. But it was not only the defensive line – the secondary also put work.
He came in the first half when the recruited corner half Cooper Dejean, who celebrated his 22nd anniversary, chose Mahmes on a shutter throw and ran it all the way for a 38 yards pick-six, this who put the Eagles at 17-0.
Mahomes would launch another interception on the first game from a journey already deep in their own territory at the end of the second quarter. Two games later, Hurts found AJ Brown, which he did in the Super Bowl LVII too, for a touchdown that looked almost like a dagger at 24-0.
When the second half started, the chiefs were already in despair mode and five games in the first trip, they were forced to kick. And after the Eagles kicked a basket, Mahomes saw his fourth and a short pass by turning him back to the Eagles.
Then, the real dagger was seen in this game, while Devonta Smith, who grew up an hour from New Orleans at AMITE City, in Louisiana, broke out of a touch of 46 yards on a perfectly launched ball HURTS.
At 34-0, the deficit was insurmountable for Mahomes and the Chiefs, even if the recruit Xavier Worthy found the goals area on a pass of 24 yards of Mahames.
But ultimately, the chiefs were never close to a return while the Eagles continued to play, and never left the classic “Mohomes Magic” to get to work.

The story was not made in New Orleans on Sunday, but the Eagles will forever be the team that interrupted what seemed to be unstoppable leaders.
The Eagles are not only flying – they hover as champions of the Super Bowl once again.
