New Orleans, LA – In a stunning upset, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl 59, ending the Chiefs’ bid for a three-peat. The Eagles dominated the game from start to finish, holding the Chiefs scoreless until late in the third quarter.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was named Super Bowl MVP, showcasing his dual-threat abilities with 221 passing yards, two touchdown passes, one rushing touchdown, and 72 rushing yards. His performance marked the most rushing yards ever by a quarterback in a Super Bowl. Hurts praised his team’s defense, which recorded six sacks and three turnovers.

The Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes, despite throwing for 257 yards and three touchdowns, couldn’t overcome the early deficit. His top receiver, Travis Kelce, had a relatively quiet game with only 39 receiving yards. The Chiefs’ late-game scoring was largely considered “garbage time.”

Eagles’ wide receiver A.J. Brown highlighted the team’s determination to avenge their Super Bowl LVII loss, stating that they “made it even” this year. Saquon Barkley, the Eagles’ star running back, expressed gratitude for his time with the New York Giants while celebrating his Super Bowl victory.

The game also featured a notable halftime show by Kendrick Lamar, featuring SZA and Serena Williams, and a controversial incident where a performer was detained for displaying Sudanese and Palestinian flags. Super Bowl 60 will be held at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California on February 8, 2026.
