epa11885472 Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (L) in action against Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton during the first half of Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, 09 February 2025. The Super Bowl is the annual championship game of the NFL between the AFC Champion and the NFC Champion and has been held every year since 1967. EPA-EFE/CJ GUNTHERThe Eagles defense was simply immense, smothering the Chief's creative maestro Patrick Mahomes, and on offense their own quarterback Jalen Hurts led the way, throwing for two touchdowns and running for another as Philadelphia brutally avenged their 2023 loss to the Chiefs at Super Bowl 57.
Eagles dazzling running back Saquon Barkley grabbed 31 first-half rushing yards to break the all-time NFL record for most rushing yards in a regular season plus playoffs, to add icing to the Eagles' championship cake.
Sunday's thumping victory delivered a second Super Bowl win for the Eagles franchise whose other title victory was in 2018.
