On Sunday, February 9, the Philadelphia Eagles has claimed their second Super Bowl title in Philadelphia's franchise history, following its championship from the 2017 season.
The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the game from start to finish against the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in this year's Super Bowl LIX, to claim the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
The game between the Eagles and Chiefs was a rematch of the 2023 Super Bowl, which the Chiefs won 38-35.
The Chiefs entered the game as the reigning Super Bowl champions, after beating the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime last year. Kansas City was trying to become the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row.
Opening Music The night started with singer-songwriter Ledisi who sang the Black national anthem "Lift Every Voice and Sing".
Trombone Shorty and Christian singer Lauren Daigle sang "America the Beautiful" and multi-talented performer Jon Batiste sang the national anthem "The Star-Spangled Banner".
First and Second Quarter
First Quarter
The first two drives of Super Bowl LIX ended with punts. The Eagles struggled after a controversial offensive pass interference call on AJ Brown, while the Chiefs' drive stalled after a first down. The Eagles scored first on their second drive when Jalen Hurts connected with Jahan Dotson for 27 yards, then ran it in from one yard out after a touchdown was overturned. The Eagles' defense contained Mahomes and the Chiefs, while Philly's offense found success through the air. Kansas City's defense limited Saquon Barkley, slowing the Eagles' attack.
Second Quarter
The Eagles' defense took control in the second quarter, with Cooper DeJean's pick-six putting them up 17-0. Moments earlier, the Eagles sacked Mahomes twice, and DeJean intercepted him for a 38-yard touchdown. After forcing a punt, Eagles punter Braden Mann pinned the Chiefs deep, and Josh Sweat pressured Mahomes into another interception, which led to a 12-yard touchdown from Hurts to Brown. The Chiefs, struggling to protect Mahomes, had only one first down in the first half and needed quick adjustments to avoid a repeat of their Super Bowl LV loss.

The Eagles moved down the field on their opening drive, with Hurts and Barkley leading the charge, and extended their lead to 27-0 with a field goal. A costly holding penalty on the Chiefs halted their next drive, and Hurts then threw a 46-yard touchdown to Smith, making it 34-0. The Chiefs finally scored with a 24-yard Mahomes-to-Worthy touchdown, but a failed two-point conversion left them trailing 34-6, with the game feeling like an Eagles victory.
