When the Philadelphia Eagles walked off the field in Arizona following Super Bowl LVII, the Birds knew they let a golden opportunity to make history go away. The 38-35 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs after leading 24-14 at the half was a heartbreaking loss that the team still feels two years later.
Philly's stars combined for six rushing touchdowns and the Eagles forced four turnovers Sunday, ending Washington's dream run.
The Eagles’ defensive edge is considerably smaller. Philadelphia allowed the fewest points and second-fewest yards in the NFL during the regular season, while Kansas City yielded the fourth-fewest points and ninth-fewest yards.
Mahomes (3 passing TDs) and Jalen Hurts (4 total TDs) were both at their playmaking best in the first matchup. This marks the fourth instance of a quarterback rematch in the Super Bowl. Each of the previous three were won by the QB who came out on top in the first game.
