The Eagles dominate the chiefs of the Super Bowl and the roll at 40-22 victory

New Orleans (AP) – Yo Philly: Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni are world champions.

A fierce defense of the Eagles of Philadelphia tormented and frustrated Patrick Mahomes while Hurts made all the necessary games.

So much for the quest for Kansas City chiefs for a three peat super bowl.

It was not even close.

Cooper Dejean obtained a pick-6 on 22nd birthdayJosh Sweat put pressure on Mahomes overnight and the Eagles rout the 40-22 chiefs on Sunday to secure the second championship of the Franchise Super Bowl.

Hurts launched two affected and ran for a score on a tash push To win the MVP honors of the Super BowlAnd the defense of Vic Fangio was so dominant that the Eagles did not need a lot of Saquon Barkley.

The ball carrier who changes the game finished with 57 yards, Breaking the record for Terrell Davis For yards rushing in a season, the playoffs included. Hurts threw 221 yards.

“It’s the ultimate team game. You cannot be great without the size of others. Great performance by everyone – offense, defense, special teams, “said Sirianni. “We never really care about what someone thought about how we won or their opinions. All we want to do is win.

Hurts was doubted since he started for Alabama in a national championship match and was put on the bench for Tua Tagovailoa at halftime. Finish second behind Mahomes in the MVP vote two years ago did not silence all the detractors. Now he has raised the Vince Lombardi trophy.

Sirianni, Who made fun of fans chanting “Fire Nick!” During a victory over Cleveland in October and was called “clown” on national television, also calmed the criticisms by adding a championship ring to a curriculum vitae of coach who includes the fifth best percentage of victories of the ‘ History of the League.

“Things are coming in time. The last time, it was not our time, it was not my time and sometimes you must accept that you have to wait for your turn, “said Hurts, who almost led the Eagles to the victory against the chiefs he At two years old Arizona.

With Donald Trump Become the first president in power to attend a Super BowlThe Eagles outstripped Kansas City in each facet, delighting a noisy pro-Philly crowd that celebrated each score with a familiar interpretation of “Fly!” Eagles! Fly!”

Even The presence of Taylor Swift I couldn’t help the chefs. They lost for the first time in 10 games this season with the pop superstar in a suite by watching the boyfriend Travis Kelce, who did not catch a pass before the end of the third quarter.

Not in the worst nightmares of Kansas City, his fans could have imagined such a dull performance. The chiefs had won three of the five previous super bowls, losing 31-9 against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers of Tampa Bay four years ago.

Mahomes was 8-0 against the defenses of Fangio before the longtime coordinator and former head coach of the Broncos exceeded Andy Reid, caping his first season with his hometown team. Reid fell at 3-3 in Super Bowls, including loss with Eagles.

The Eagles have dismissed Mahomes six times, most of his career, including 2 1/2 per sweaty and two by Milton Williams. And they did it without Fangio calling a single blitz.

“The defense wins the championships,” said Hurts. “We saw how they played today. We saw the difference they made in the game. They gave us opportunities, gave us short fields. And we can do what we do.

Barkley, the attacking player of the year of the AP NFL 2024, had only 31 yards on the ground in the first half when Philly built an advance of 24-0.

Two years ago, Mahomes led a return and Harrison Butker launched the winning basket of the game in the last minute for a 38-35 victory against the Eagles. Mahomes joined Kansas City to an extension victory against San Francisco last year.

“It’s an excellent football team and we had to get out and play our best, and we did it,” said Sirianni.

This time, a philly defense overhauled with eight new starters from the 2022 team made sure that Mahomas had no chance of withdrawing his magic.

Sirianni was showered by Gatorade with almost three minutes in the match while the backup QB Kenny Pickett took snaps in degradation service.

“Today was a difficult day all around. Nothing went well. I haven’t trained well. Proud of our guys for fighting. We will learn, ”said Reid. “Too many reversals, too many penalties. Against a good football team, I can’t do that. »»

Barkley helped push Hurts in the goal area of ​​the 1 to give Philadelphia an advance from 7-0 to the first quarter.

UP 10-0 after the 48 yoke basket by Jake Elliott, Sweat and Jalyx Hunt shaped Mahomes on consecutive games. Mahomes then took place and made a wandering launch which was chosen by Dejean, who returned it to 38 yards for an advance of 17-0.

“When you have an excellent line at the front … Make it easier at the back, and when they take the race, it allows us to start the passing race,” said Dejean.

It was the first choice of Mahomes-6 in 21 career playoffs and ended a sequence of 297 consecutive passes without interception.

“We didn’t start how we wanted it. Turnover hurts. I take all the blame for that, “said Mahomes.

Second, All-Pro Zack Baun took over Mahomes at the end of the second quarter and made injuries linked to AJ Brown on a 12 yard TD pass for a 24-0 lead.

Hurts launched a perfect 46 yards TD pass in Devonta Smith To make it 34-0 at the end of the third.

Mahomes pulled a pass from 24 yards to Xavier worthy Xavier to avoid laundering, but the conversion of 2 points failed. He launched two late TD passes, mainly meaningless, one in Deandre Hopkins and another in Worthy.

After two weeks of discussions on questionable calls that led to the perception of the public that civil servants promote the chiefs – a theoretical commissioner Roger Goodell called “ridiculous” – the first penalty of the game only fueled criticism.

A pass of 32 yards from Hurts to Brown to Chiefs 18 in fourth and 2 was denied by a penalty for interference of offensive pass. Brady, now Fox analyst, and analyst officiating Mike Pereira did not agree with the call, although Brown pushed the McDuffie Mask.

On the following possession, the Eagles benefited from an unnecessary roughness penalty on McDuffie against Dallas Goedert following an incomplete pass in third and 5.

Houts was then connected with Jahan Dotson on a pass of 27 yards at 1 and marked the following game.

The sequence of 217 Hurts passes without choice ended in the first half when it was intercepted deeply in the territory of Kansas City, but the chiefs are not capitalized.
