In order to win Super Bowl 54 in 2021, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs had to come back from a 10-point deficit. As a result, they weren’t afraid when they faced a similar deficit on Sunday night in Arizona.
In the second half, Kansas City found a new gear, outlasting the Eagles and winning their second title in four years by scoring on each of their drives.
The Eagles put up as much of a fight as they could, scoring 17 points in the second quarter, and they stayed in the game even after the Chiefs had the upper hand in the second half.
Kansas City led 35-27 on a legendary punt return by Kadarius Toney that resulted in a walk-in touchdown for Skyy Moore, but Philadelphia immediately retaliated. DeVonta Smith was the recipient of a game-changing grab from Jalen Hurts, who then immediately took it himself to tie the score.
The Chiefs took advantage of all but eight seconds of the 5:15 that the Eagles left on the clock to grab the lead.
Kansas City carefully made its way down the field and toward the goal. A defensive holding penalty assessed to James Bradberry allowed Kansas City to run the clock down to eight seconds just as the Eagles poised to force a field goal with plenty of time remaining.
Hurts’ Hail Mary attempt fell far short, Harrison Butker kicked a 27-yard field goal, and the Chiefs once again left the field as winners.
It was a slightly underwhelming conclusion to an otherwise exhilarating game, one that will only serve to fuel the criticism of NFL officials. When two-time champs Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes parade the Lombardi Trophy through Kansas City on Wednesday to celebrate their victory, nobody will be considering that this week.
31 teams will be aiming to defeat the two-time Super Bowl MVP when the NFL resumes play in September, where it left off.
