The Philadelphia Eagles did it. They beat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 to win Super Bowl 2025.
The blowout victory was powered by fearless, precision passing by Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and a ferocious pass rush that shut down Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes.
An MVP Performance from Jalen Hurts
Hurts did it all, throwing 17-22 for 221 yards and 2 touchdowns. He also only led the Eagles with 72 yards rushing — including one for a touchdown.
The Eagles quarterback put his dual-threat skills on display. And Philadelphia needed it as the Chiefs shut down Saquon Barkley, the mainstay of the Eagles’ offense this season.
Barkley was held to a mere 57 yards on 25 carries — his second-lowest yardage this season. But Hurts, who lost to the Chiefs in the 2023 Super Bowl, was out to avenge that defeat and even the score.
And he succeeded.
Hurts set the tone early, leading a 58-yard drive in the first quarter, connecting with Dallas Goedert and Jahan Dotson for deep passes. Just as he did in Super Bowl 2023, finished the job himself, running it in for the first touchdown of the game.
The Eagles Played Like Lions
From that point on, it was all Eagles. The Chiefs didn’t get on the board until the third quarter, when Mahomes found Xavier Worthy for a 24-yard touchdown pass.
Worthy had a stellar game, with eight receptions for 157 yards and two touchdowns. But the Eagles exposed the Chiefs’ offense as one-dimensional. Kansas City rushed for a mere 40 yards — far fewer than Hurts’ 72 yards.
But much credit must go to the Eagles’ defense, already regarded as one of the NFL’s best. Mahomes was mauled throughout the game by the relentless Eagles pass rush, which sacked him six times — including on back-to-back plays.
Philadelphia’s dominant performance secured their first Super Bowl victory since 2018, cementing Hurts’ legacy as one of the league’s elite quarterbacks.
