Mon Feb 10 08:44:15 UTC 2025: ## Eagles Soar to Victory in Super Bowl LXV, Denying Chiefs Three-peat
**New Orleans, LA** – In a highly anticipated rematch of Super Bowl LVII, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 42-28 in Super Bowl LXV, held at the Caesars Superdome on Sunday, February 9th. This victory marks the first Super Bowl win for Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and head coach Nick Sirianni, avenging their previous loss to the Chiefs. The Chiefs, seeking an unprecedented three-peat, fell short in their bid to join the ranks of the legendary Chicago Bulls and Tom Brady’s New England Patriots.
The game was filled with drama both on and off the field. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had a subpar performance, prompting ESPN analyst Booger McFarland to declare him no longer the league’s best at his position. Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was present and reportedly received a mixed reception from the crowd, with some boos punctuating the game. President Donald Trump, the first sitting US president to attend a Super Bowl, was also in attendance, and took to social media to contrast his warm reception with Swift’s less enthusiastic one.
The halftime show, headlined by Kendrick Lamar, featuring SZA, included a modified version of his Grammy-winning “Not Like Us,” a diss track aimed at Drake. Lamar notably omitted the word “pedophile” from the lyric during his performance. Other pre-game highlights included a national anthem performance by Jon Batiste and appearances by various celebrities, including Anne Hathaway and Serena Williams (who made a surprise appearance as a dancer).
The Super Bowl also saw its share of off-field events. A field protester interrupted the halftime show, and several commercials garnered attention, including Yahoo’s interactive ad featuring Bill Murray and Uber Eats’ recreation of a popular TikTok trend with Martha Stewart and Charli XCX. The Puppy Bowl XXI, featuring rescue animals, took place earlier in the day with Team Fluff emerging victorious.
The game concluded with Patrick Mahomes shouldering the blame for the Chiefs’ loss, attributing it to turnovers. The win was celebrated in New York City with the Empire State Building illuminated in Eagles green. The Super Bowl also paid tribute to victims of recent tragedies including Hurricane Helene, the Los Angeles wildfires, and a New Orleans New Year’s Day attack. The game marked a full-circle moment for Tom Brady, who commented on the game for Fox, having won his first Super Bowl in New Orleans 23 years prior.
