It's a feat that will be etched in the history books of Philadelphia sports. The Philadelphia Eagles soared past the Kansas City Chiefs to grab their second Super Bowl title on Sunday with a stunning 40-22 victory. The Eagles' defense, described as "shut-down," was relentless against Chiefs' quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who was sacked six times during the game, according to a report by CBS Austin.

Cooper DeJean and Zack Baun were instrumental in this rush-hour of defense — the former returning an interception for a touchdown, while the latter snagged another pick leading to a touchdown, as the Eagles went on to dominate with a 24-0 lead at halftime. "We got a focused group out there" said Jalen Hurts, the Eagles quarterback who spectacularly performed with 221 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one rush to the end zone, "and the defense played their ass off," he told CNN.

The Chiefs' nightmare continued, as Mahomes was pressured into making, multiple mistakes including two costly interceptions in the second quarter that swung the momentum in favor of Philadelphia. Eagles' Josh Sweat said about their defense, "After a while, it’s just like – cannot go wrong with us right now." The game had its share of drama with notable figures in attendance, including President Donald Trump and Taylor Swift, who is dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The halftime show dialed up further excitement, featuring Kendrick Lamar alongside surprise guest Serena Williams.

Hurts set a new Super Bowl record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 72 and went 17-for-22 in a performance that garnered him the Super Bowl MVP title. "I just wanted to think about all the effort, all the work, that was put in over the course of time," Hurts explained. Meanwhile, the Chiefs struggled to regroup as Mahomes took responsibility for the loss, recognizing the impact of his early turnovers, "I take all the blame for that," he stated.

The dominating win signals a euphoric moment for the Eagles, who previously won their first Super Bowl in 2018, ending the Chiefs' pursuit of a three-peat under the bright lights of the Superdome. With the fans on Broad Street, and Bourbon Street reveling in celebration, Nick Sirianni's team is now firmly perched atop the football world.
