Super Bowl LIX: The Eagles dominate the Chiefs and are crowned NFL champions
Led by a brilliant Jalen Hurts, the Philadelphia team crushed Kansas City with a commanding 40-22.

Los jugadores de los Eagles celebran durante el Super Bowl LIX
The Philadelphia Eagles crushed the Kansas City Chiefs and took home Super Bowl LIX thanks to the brilliant performance of Jalen Hurts, the star and MVP of the night with his two touchdowns, a key run, and the 221 passing yards that led the Eagles' balanced offense.
But beyond Hurts' great night, who was well supported by running backs and receivers Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith, A.J. Brown, and Jahan Dotson—all of whom had stellar performances—the key to the Eagles' victory was their defensive line, which shut down and made Patrick Mahomes suffer like never before.
Mahomes was intercepted, sacked, and hit throughout the night in what was undoubtedly the worst game of his career.
Frustrated, Mahomes could only pad his stats at the end of the fourth quarter, completing three touchdowns and trimming a scoreboard that had once been 34-0 until the end of the third quarter.
In general, there was only one team on the field—the Eagles—who played a Super Bowl at ease and got their revenge for the championship game lost to the Chiefs in 2023.
With the defeat, the Chiefs were left just short of becoming the first franchise in NFL history to achieve three consecutive titles. Mahomes also fell short of adding another ring to match the iconic Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw.
With their historic win, the Eagles secured their second Super Bowl after the one in 2017. Furthermore, including championships before the creation of the Super Bowl, the franchise reached its fifth NFL trophy.
Here are the highlights of the day:
The Eagles are the new NFL champions!
Despite the score tightening to 40-22 in the final quarter, the Philadelphia team dominated the Kansas City Chiefs, thanks to a brilliant Jalen Hurts and invaluable contributions from the defensive line and the team’s running backs. A historic, well-deserved victory, and a redemption for the lost Super Bowl in 2023 against the Chiefs.
The Eagles keep scoring and are now on the verge of the title
As the clock ticks down rapidly, with only eight minutes remaining in Super Bowl LIX, the Eagles continue to score, extending their lead over the Chiefs. The score is now a lopsided 40-6.
Chiefs touchdown! Great pass from Mahomes!
Patrick Mahomes' first big play of the game. A huge pass under pressure to score and make it 6-34. The Chiefs attempted a two-point conversion but were unsuccessful. Now, the fourth quarter has started.
Patrick Mahomes throws across his body to Xavier Worthy to get on the board.

What should I know about Super Bowl LIX
In an extensive preview, VOZ summarized the most important details about the big battle between the Chiefs and Eagles. A first point to pay attention to is that, despite the Kansas City team being slight favorites, the Chiefs are a squad to watch, as they finished the regular season with an impressive streak of 12 wins in their last 13 games, good enough for the second-best record in the NFC. Their key players on offense are offensive linemen Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts, as well as outside threats A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
