The chiefs were able to largely limit the impact of the Ballon bearer of the Eagles Star Saquon Barkley, but they failed to not precious on the other hand on each side of the ball. For all the speeches on the chiefs that go back to become the largest dynasty in the NFL, it was, instead, the kind of loss that can tarnish an inheritance.
The status of Mahomas as one of the large quarters is already safe, but he had one night to forget to launch two interceptions, abandoning a turnover and was dismissed six times.
From the start, the Eagles were dominant and they opened their account during their second trip when Hurts found Jahan Dotson on the right with a perfectly dried pass of 28 yards. Dotson was tried to fall just below the final area, but predictable on the next game, the Eagles pushed Hurts on the line for the score.
The teeming eagles
The defense of the Eagles swarmed all over the offensive line of chiefs and Mahomes had a hard time obtaining momentum. At the start of the second quarter, an injured pass for AJ Brown was superbly intercepted by Bryan Cook security, but again, the chiefs were forced to kick.
A basket of 48 yards on the ground of Jake Elliott was 10-0, but worse, it was to come for Kansas City. Mahomes pulled the middle towards Deandre Hopkins but did not spot the corner half of the Eagles Cooper Dejean who, anticipating the pass, sprinted in the inner field and caught the choice and sprinted 38 yards for the touch.
At 17-0, the chiefs really needed to find something in attack, but instead, Mahomes was intercepted again with the Zack Baun dive making the game. On the resulting possession, Hurts took full advantage of A defense of the chiefs in disarray, finding a large open brown for a score of 12 yards which sent the Eagles with an advance of 24-0.
The statistics told the story of a disastrous first half for Mahomes and the Chiefs – he was dismissed three times and only managed 34 yards, performing six of the 14 attempts. The chiefs had 23 yards in total and 20 threwal yards in the first half – the second worst of any team in the history of the Super Bowl.
The other 13 teams that were laundered in the first half of a Super Bowl lost the match and the chefs try to avoid being the 14th required a good start of the second half.
But the Eagles were not in a mood to give in – a goal from Elliott on the ground of 29 yards kept the momentum for Philadelphia, then Hurts delivered the killer with a magnificent field of 46 yards on Devonta Smith For a touchdown that made 34-00.
This finally triggered a reaction of the chiefs with Mahomes finding the Xavier receiver worthy of a pass of 50 yards, then finishing the Drive Redout Worthy Worthy with a pass of 24 yards. The Eagles now took few risks knowing that the result was in their hands and they were satisfied with another goal on the field of Elliott to do it 37-6.
Mahomes Misery – and the lack of protection – continued when he tried when he was dismissed by Milton Williams who recovered the ball. A touch of late chiefs, Mahomes finding hopkins on a score of 12 yards was barely celebrated by fans of dismayed chiefs in the crowd of 65,719.
Mahomes then added a little more respectability to the score with Mahomes finding a jet of 50 yards in the middle. The game has been finished for a long time – the only question is now whether it was the start of the end of the era of chefs?
