The Philadelphia Eagles have claimed their second Super Bowl title in the big league era after beating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LVII on Sunday night in New Orleans. Quarterback Jalen Hurts was named MVP for his strong performance with 221 passing yards, two touchdowns, and a 72-yard run scoring play. The Eagles' defense dominated, sacking Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes six times and forcing key turnovers. Rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean scored a pick-six on his 22nd birthday. The Eagles took a commanding lead early with a 24-0 score at halftime, controlling the game with tight defense and precise offense. This win avenged their close loss to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl two years ago. Kansas City struggled all night, making costly mistakes and failing to stop the Eagles' ground game led by Saquon Barkley. Chiefs coach Andy Reid admitted it was a tough day with "too many turnovers, too many penalties." As the final minutes ticked away, Eagles fans celebrated another NFL championship, marking the franchise's fifth overall and second in the Super Bowl era. "We had a special group this year," said Hurts. "Defense wins championships. We saw the difference they made in the game."
