Kansas City had overcome 10-point deficits to win each of its previous three championships under Mahomes and coach Andy Reid, but no team had ever overcome this big a hole to win a Super Bowl before.
The Eagles’ 40-22 win denied Kansas City the chance to make NFL history with a third consecutive Super Bowl win. The Eagles dominated the first three quarters of the game held at New Orleans’ Superdome. Philadelphia kept the reigning champs scoreless until the final three minutes of the third quarter.
Eagles (18-3) registered six sacks on their way to a 40-22 victory over the Chiefs (17-2) in Super Bowl 59 as the confetti came down at the Caesars Superdome to deny Kansas City a chance to threepeat.
