Dominant defense, Jalen Hurts lifts Eagles to a 40-22 win over Chiefs in Super Bowl 59

Dominant defense, Jalen Hurts lifts Eagles to a 40-22 win over Chiefs in Super Bowl 59

In what can only be described as a beatdown, the Eagles exacted revenge on the Chiefs, winning Super Bowl LIX in dominant fashion, 40-22.

Vic Fangio’s No. 1 ranked defense held Kansas City to 275 yards of total offense and 3-11 on third downs, with Patrick Mahomes getting sacked six times on the night. Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts was 17 of 22 passing for 221 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, and a 119.7 passer rating.

Kansas City scored 16 fourth-quarter points, but it was too late as the Eagles jumped out to a 34-6 lead in the third quarter and bullied the Chiefs throughout the contest. In what can only be described as a team win, the Eagles won despite Saquon Barkley getting held to 57 yards on 25 carries.

Jalen Hurts led the Eagles with a Super Bowl record of 11 carries for 72 yards and one rushing touchdown.

With Barkley shut down, DeVonta Smith had four catches for 69 yards (17.3 avg) and one touchdown.  A.J. Brown had three catches for 43 yards and a touchdown.

Super Bowl highlight: Chiefs DB Bryan Cook intercepts Eagles QB Jalen Hurts

Watch this video of #Chiefs DB Bryan Cook’s epic interception in Kansas City’s Super Bowl LIX matchup against the Philadelphia #Eagles.

The Kansas City Chiefs got off to a slow start in Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles, but the defending champions seemed to have turned a corner.

After an early touchdown by the Eagles to start the game via the controversial “brotherly shove” Kansas City found itself down seven points to start the game.

The Eagles were well on their way to another score when Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw a pass that was intercepted by Chiefs defensive back Bryan Cook, which gave Kansas City a chance to even the score.

Take a look at Cook’s epic interception in this video, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs’ official account:

Though Kansas City’s next drive ended in a punt after Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was unable to get the team’s offense in gear, the defending champions are still very much in the game.

Stay tuned to see if Kansas City can make an epic comeback to defeat Philadelphia in Super Bowl LIX.

Look: Bradley Cooper narrates Eagles hype video for Super Bowl LIX matchup vs. Chiefs

The Philadelphia Eagles released this hype video narrated by actor Bradley Cooper ahead of Sunday’s #SuperBowl matchup vs. the Kansas City Chiefs

The countdown has begun, and the Eagles and Chiefs are a little over 28 hours away from kickoff at Caesars Superdome on Sunday night.

Bradley Cooper is one of the biggest Eagles fans, so it makes sense that the famed actor would contribute to the Super Bowl LIX hype video after doing the same two years ago

Cooper narrates the video that focuses on winning “coming down to this moment,” which is the biggest game of Jalen Hurts’s career.

Philadelphia earned its second Super Bowl appearance in three seasons after posting a franchise-record-tying 14-3 record and a postseason run that featured three straight victories at home, including a 55-23 win against Washington in the NFC Championship Game (most points scored in a conference championship game in NFL history).

For only the second time, two Black quarterbacks will face off on the NFL’s biggest stage. Hurts and Mahomes were the first two in Super Bowl 57. Since 2022, Jalen Hurts has been 42-12 (including the playoffs) as a starting quarterback, just behind Patrick Mahomes (48-10).

Chiefs safety comments on the defense’s performance: ‘We’ve got to do better’

The Kansas City Chiefs defense had a rough ending to Sunday’s victory over the Carolina Panthers. The highly praised unit couldn’t protect a two-point lead in the fourth quarter, as Carolina tied the game with a two-point conversion.

Safety Bryan Cook spoke after the game about the defense’s need to improve as the postseason approaches.

“We’ve got to do better. We’re doing good in the red zone but that’s only a third of the field. Overall, we just have to do better.” said Cook. “At the end of the day, we’re all vets in the room for the most part. As I said before, we got to go back to the drawing board, see what we’re doing, and correct it from there.”

Cook and the defense had lapses throughout the game as Panthers quarterback Bryce Young was able to convert on quick releases ahead of blitzes in the second half.

“Whether it’s then, the beginning of a quarter, or the beginning of a game, it comes down to execution. You have to execute,” said Cook. “They’re at a high level, and I know we had times where we didn’t execute at the highest level, and the team exploited that. So, we got to figure that out, go back to the drawing board, and see what we can do.”

Trent McDuffie, Nick Bolton, and Mike Danna were able to get their hands on Young for sacks, but the second-year starter proved elusive under pressure.
