Fueled by a harassing defense, Philadelphia denied a Kansas City coronation in Super Bowl 59, dethroning the Chiefs in a rout that delivered the Eagles their second championship in seven seasons by a score of 40-22.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts earned MVP honors after throwing for two touchdowns and running for one more.

Kansas City had won three Super Bowl titles in the last five years, including the last two, and it was trying to become the first team in the NFL's Super Bowl era to win back-to-back-to-back titles. Led by quarterback Patrick Mahomes, whose résumé sparked debates about whether he or Tom Brady was the best quarterback in NFL history, the Chiefs had won 17 consecutive one-score games and appeared infallible in the clutch.

Philadelphia, however, never allowed this Super Bowl — a rematch from two years earlier — to ever get close, muting Mahomes' effectiveness from the opening drive.
