Super Bowl: Kansas City Chiefs overcome superb Jalen Hurts for win over Philadelphia Eagles
- Chiefs win second Super Bowl in four years with 38-35 victory in a magnificent contest on Sunday
- Hurts produces four touchdowns, three of them rushing, but ends on losing side with late field goal from Harrison Butker settling thriller in Arizona
Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs overcame the inspired Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts to win their second Super Bowl in four years with a 38-35 victory in a magnificent contest on Sunday.
Hurts produced four touchdowns, three of them rushing, and threw for 304 yards but ended on the losing side with a late field goal from Harrison Butker settling a ding-dong battle in Arizona.
Mahomes threw for three touchdowns and 182 yards but the Chiefs had game-winning displays across the field as they came back from 10 points down at half-time to hand head coach Andy Reid a victory over his former team.
“It was just everybody. It didn’t come from one person,” Mahomes said of the half-time locker room discussions that sparked the revival.
“Everybody said we had to step our game up. Defence played their ass off in that second half. Our offence, we just found a way. I want to thank everybody on this team. We battled,” he said.
Mahomes’ trusty target Travis Kelce who put up 81 yards and a touchdown on six receptions said the team had rediscovered themselves after struggling in the first half.
