Kansas City’s hopes for a third consecutive Super Bowl victory were all but dashed by a powerful first half by Philadelphia Sunday at the Superdome in New Orleans, as the NFC champion Eagles routed the AFC champion Chiefs 40-22 in SB LIX.

Jalen Hurts was selected as the game’s most valuable player. Hurts was 17 of 22 passing for 221 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 72 yards on 11 carries – a Super Bowl record for a quarterback – and a rushing touchdown.

Hurts became the first quarterback to win a Super Bowl after losing one since Bob Griese won with Miami in 1972. DeVonta Smith was his primary target with four catches for 69 yards and a touchdown.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes completed 21 of 32 passes for 257 yards and two touchdowns, but was also sacked six times. Mahomes was also Kansas City’s leading rusher with 25 yards on four attempts. Xavier Worthy caught eight passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns.

This was Philadelphia’s second Super Bowl victory, the first was in 2017. The Eagles lost in 2022, 2004 and 1980. In the pre-Super Bowl era, the Eagles won NFL titles in 1948, 1949 and 1960. The Chiefs won AFL championships in 1962 (as Dallas Texans), 1966 and 1969. Kansas City won Super Bowls in 1969, 2019, 2022 and 2023, losing in 2020.

The Eagles built a 24-0 halftime lead on Hurts’ 1-yard TD run, Jake Elliott’s 48-yard field goal, Cooper DeJean’s 38-yard pick-six, and A.J. Brown’s 12-yard scoring pass from Hurts.

Philadelphia extended its lead in the third quarter to 34-0 on Elliott’s 29-yard field goal, and a 48-yard scoring strike from Hurts to Smith. Kansas City got on the board with 34 seconds left in the quarter on Worthy’s 24-yard TD pas from Mahomes.

The Eagles used two ore Elliott field goals of 43 and 50 yards to build a 40-6 lead. Kansas City found the end zone twice in the last three minutes on touchdown passes from Mahomes to DeAndre Hopkins and Worthy.

Records set in Super Bowl LIX besides Hurts’ QB rushing: Elliott kicked four field goals and four extra points for 16 kicking points, his four field goals ties a record held by three others.

The average ticket to watch in person was $7,300 (fees included) according to Stubhub. Ticketmaster had seats listed for $6,600.

Kendrick Lamar provided the halftime entertainment with a guest appearance by dancer and tennis champion Serena Williams. Jon Batiste sang the National Anthem and Lauren Diagle performed “America The Beautiful.”

Donald Trump became the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl. He predicted a Chiefs victory.

On the Las Vegas Raiders podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Tony talk about the fumble at the end of the game. The Las Vegas Raiders were in the Kansas City Chiefs zone at the 48 trying to get good field position for kicker Daniel Carlson to kick a game winning field goal with seconds left in the game. The Raiders wanted a little more field position for Carlson when quarterback Aidan O’Connell was counting his audibles when center Andre James snapped the ball which deflected off O’Connell for a fumble and was recovered by the Chiefs to win the game 19-17.

#2 No doubt about it Tony it had to be a heartbreaker for Antonio Pierce the Raiders head coach after O’Connell was moving the ball down field on that last offensive possession to get it over the 50 in the Chiefs zone and it didn’t hold up for the Raiders.

#3 In this game the Raiders had a more mindful defense and O’Connell was staying in step with the Chiefs offense For O’Connell on Friday Night Football 23-35, 340 yards, and two touchdowns. The Raiders kept it close but again just fell short at the end of the game.

#4 To Raiders defense they kept the pressure up on Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. The Chiefs scored a field goal in the first quarter, a touchdown in the second quarter, two field goals in the third quarter by Michael Wright, and it was Wright’s game go ahead field goal with 9:53 left that lifted the Chiefs past the by a field goal.

#5 The Raiders now 2-10 having lost eight in a row will come face to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the Bucs are just a game out of first place with a 5-6 record. The Bucs are 2-4 at home the Raiders are a 1-6 on the road. It’s a 10:00 AM PST kick off how do you see this game shaking out?

#5 Charlie let me read to you a list of Raiders minority owner Tom Brady’s restrictions. #1 Not permitted to be in another team’s facility.#2 Can not attend another team’s practice. #3 Can not attend in-person or virtual broadcast production meetings with coaches or players. #4 Can not publicly criticize officials and other clubs. #5 Must follow the NFL’s gambling policy. Are these rules in place because he’s a co-owner of the Raiders and since he’s part of the management of the club these restrictions are put upon him to avoid a conflict of interest?

Samuel was in for four plays against the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday before he left the game and went to the hospital. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan is not sure if Samuel will be able to play against the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday.

#2 David, talk about Brandon Aiyuk who looked like he was hit in the legs on a play where he tore his ACL and MCL which will require surgery and force Aiyuk out for the rest of the season. 48 seconds into the second quarter received the injury when 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy got a pass between Kansas City defensive backs Chamarri Conner and Trent McDuffie which Aiyuk caught for a 15 yard gain. as Conner and McDuffie closed in on Aiyuk the hit hyperextended his knee.

#3 The 49ers now host the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football for a 5:20pm PT kick off at Levi Stadium. The Cowboys got clobbered in their last game against the Detroit Lions 47-9 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The Cowboys just couldn’t stop Detroit’s offense and couldn’t get any traction against their defense. Considering some of the 49ers key injuries could this one end up being a close game in Santa Clara.
