“Kansas City Chiefs Win Third Super Bowl in High-Stakes Showdown Against Philadelphia Eagles”

2023-02-13 08:00:00

The Kansas City Chiefs have won the most important title in American football for the third time in their history. The team around star quarterback Patrick Mahomes won a dramatic and high-class Super Bowl final once morest the Philadelphia Eagles in Glendale/Arizona with 38:35.

At the break, the Chiefs were still ten points behind at 14:24. The Eagles, led by strong quarterback Jalen Hurts, are now one of only two teams to give up such a lead at halftime in a Super Bowl.

Even before Rihanna caused jubilation with her first live show following seven years without a public concert on parts of the stage that were partly floating in the air, both teams thrilled the audience.

The Eagles and Chiefs each scored a touchdown on their first attacking series. That hadn’t happened in a Super Bowl for 25 years.

With the Eagles, the 24-year-old quarterback completed Hurts with a short run to start the game, with the Chiefs Travis Kelce was the receiver of a long throw from Mahomes. The Eagles controlled the ball and clock and took advantage of the Chiefs’ decision to forfeit first possession despite winning the coin toss.

The consequence: Mahomes and his attackers only had the football for a good eight of the first 24 minutes and had to watch from the sidelines for a long time. They saw a brilliantly caught pass from AJ Brown for 45 yards and put the Eagles back in the lead.

A Chiefs field goal hit the post was another setback for the Chiefs fans, who were clearly inferior in terms of acoustics. However, Kansas City supporters were able to celebrate a ball loss from Eagles quarterback Hurts, which Nick Bolton used for a touchdown.

Before the break, another run from Hurts gave the Eagles a touchdown and a field goal to go ten points clear at halftime.

There was a lot to be said for the Eagles to win. 29 times out of 30 times a team with a double-digit lead at the end of a Super Bowl break ended up winning.

Despite the Eagles taking a big lead at the break, the game remained exciting – because the Chiefs came out of the dressing room with a whole new level of momentum. The first three attacking series all ended with a touchdown for the team playing in white – the Eagles had only scored another field goal at this point and were suddenly 27:35 behind.

After the equalizer and Hurts’ third touchdown run, Harrison Butker made the decision with eight seconds from time with a converted field goal.

Mahomes was named Main Round Most Valuable Player last week, becoming the first pro since 1999 to win both the Super Bowl and the MVP title in a single season. He was also named MVP of the finals.

The 27-year-old has won two Super Bowls and two MVP titles in his six years in the NFL. He ended the game with three touchdown passes. It was also the second Super Bowl win for Chiefs coach Andy Reid.

Eagles quarterback Hurts’ historically strong performance of three touchdowns from own runs and a touchdown pass ended up being worth nothing.

Hurts and Mahomes were the first black quarterback duo in a Super Bowl, and jointly the youngest. There has also never been a brother duel before: Travis Kelce from the Chiefs and Jason Kelce from the Eagles changed that in Arizona.
