The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions again after a dominant performance in a 40-22 win over the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs. The win is the first for the quarterback-coaching duo of Jalen Hurts and Nick Siriani after they fell in Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs. With the loss, Kansas City falls short in it's quest for the first 3-peat in the Super Bowl era.
A brilliant night from the Eagles defense and an efficient, poised night from Jalen Hurts headlined Philadelphia's second Super Bowl title in franchise history. The Eagles held the Chiefs to 225 total yards and forced three turnovers, including a second quarter Cooper DeJean interception that he returned for a touchdown.
Hurts finished the night 17 of 22 for 221 yards through the air and two passing touchdowns. He also rushed for 72 yards — a new Super Bowl record for a quarterback — and a "tush push" rushing touchdown. Saquon Barkley had 97 total yards with 57 on the ground on 32 touches.
Patrick Mahomes threw for 257 yards and three scores — much of that once the Eagles had the game well in hand — to along with two interceptions and a lost fumble. He's now 3-3 in six career Super Bowl starts.

End of 3rd quarter: Eagles 34, Chiefs 6
The Eagles opened the drive after the K.C. touchdown with a 4-yard run by Saquon Barkley, who has 47 rushing yards in the game. While it's been tough sledding for Barkley today, with 76 yards of offense — he's got 29 receiving yards — the plan has been an old-school approach from the Eagles. Barkley touched it 23 times in the first three quarters.

Eagles take over at their own 20 after a touchback
The Eagles' offense piled up 179 yards in the first half, and will go to work, trying to add to a 24-0 lead. Jalen Hurts was good in the first half, but if the Eagles are going to stay ahead it would help to get the running game going.
