The Philadelphia Eagles rout Chiefs to win Super Bowl LIX

preCharge News SPORTS — It was over before it ever began, and for the Kansas City Chiefs – they never really got started.

Philadelphia led 24-0 at halftime on the strength of Cooper DeJean’s pick six of Patrick Mahomes and an interception by Zack Baun that set up Jalen Hurts’ touchdown pass to A.J. Brown just before halftime. The Eagles led 34-0 before Mahomes threw three touchdown passes to make the final score look closer than the game actually was.

The Eagles defense was the story of the night. Vic Fangio’s unit sacked Mahomes a career-high six times, with Josh Sweat leading with way with 2.5 sacks. Philadelphia allowed a scant 23 yards in the first half and did not allow the Chiefs to convert on third down until there was just over a minute left in the third quarter.

While it was a tough night for Mahomes, it was a brilliant game for Hurts, who threw two touchdowns and finished as the game’s leading rusher with 72 yards and a touchdown on the ground. Saquon Barkley had 97 total yards on 31 touches while breaking Terrell Davis’ 26-year-old record for the most rushing yards in a season (including the postseason).

The Eagles Super Bowl LIX victory marks the franchise first win since their 2018 vicotry over the New England Patriots.

The Eagles scored four unanswered touchdowns before Patrick Mahomes connected with receiver Xavier Worthy in the third quarter. Worthy scored two touchdowns including a meaningless score with two minutes remaining.

Super Bowl champions

The Philadelphia Eagles are your Super Bowl champions. They started the season 2-2, but after their Week 5 bye they went on a 16-1 run, with their only loss coming in a game where Jalen Hurts got concussed in the first quarter. Their defense was the best in the league during that stretch, as was their run game. And during the playoffs, Hurts threw the ball better than at any other point this season.

The fastest man in football

Xavier Worthy just straight up outran two Eagles defensive backs to the back of the end zone and got himself his second touchdown of the game. Pretty impressive throw and catch, though obviously far too late. Worthy, though, has 8 catches for 157 yards and 2 touchdowns.
