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 Sirianni after they fell in Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs. With the loss, Kansas City falls short in its quest for the first three-peat in the Super Bowl era.
A brilliant night from the Eagles’ defense and an efficient, poised night from 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, who was named Super Bowl MVP, 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 31 touches.
Patrick Mahomes threw for 257 yards and three scores — much of that once the Eagles had the game well in hand — along with two interceptions and a lost fumble. He’s now 3-3 in six career Super Bowl starts.

Super Bowl required reading: Eagles squash Chiefs’ 3-peat hopes

(Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images) Tom Brady and the New England Patriots couldn’t finish the job. The Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers of the 1970s were incredible teams but fell short too. The 1980s San Francisco 49ers and 1990s Dallas Cowboys were NFL royalty but their streaks stopped at two Super Bowls in a row.
There have been 59 Super Bowls played and still no team has won three of them in a row. The Chiefs’ quest for a three-peat starts over at zero after they were thoroughly dominated by the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX. It was one of the most one-sided games in Super Bowl history, which was shocking given the stature of the Chiefs coming in.

He wasn’t a first-round draft pick. Even after leading his team to a Super Bowl, there were questions how much he could give the Philadelphia Eagles when compared to the NFL’s elite quarterbacks.
On Sunday night, in an emphatic win over the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LIX, he got his moment. As well as his own personal trophy.
Hurts was named the Super Bowl MVP of 2025 after a 17-of-21 passing performance with 221 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, plus 72 rushing yards and a touchdown on the ground in a 40-22 win.

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.
