The Philadelphia Eagles hammered the Kansas City Chiefs in a 40-22 Super Bowl rout on the strength of a swarming defense that forced three turnovers, sacked Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes six times and held Kansas City to a total 275 yards.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was named Super Bowl MVP, throwing for 221 yards, rushing for 72 yards, and accounting for three touchdowns. He now holds the record for most rushing yards by a QB in the Super Bowl.
The game wasn’t even as close as the final score makes it seem. The Chiefs were down 40-6 in the middle of the fourth quarter, in a game that experts predicted would see a record $1.39 billion in wagers.
For many viewers, the real appeal was the Super Bowl commercials, featuring a number of TV and movie stars, along with the traditional Budweiser Clydesdale horses, special effects aliens and surreal scenarios. You can see many of the TV spots here.
