Super Bowl: Eagles humiliate the chiefs-star quarters back disappointed

When quarterback Jalen Hurts celebrated the superior super bowl victory of the Philadelphia Eagles in the silver-green confetti rain, Donald Trump was no longer in the stadium. The first US President who followed a super Bowl live on site had seen everything important: at the humiliating 40:22 against the Kansas City Chiefs for the disappointing Star Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the Eagles were already 24: 0 at half time.

The defending champion, including Superfan Taylor Swift, no longer recovered on the stands in the Superdome of New Orleans and failed crashing the attempt to win the Super Bowl three times in series. As a friend of Chiefs-Profi Travis Kelce, Swift had to put up with plenty of boos from fans when she was displayed on the video screens. In addition, Trump mocked her: “The only one who had a worse evening when the Kansas City Chiefs is Taylor Swift.”

The Eagles, on the other hand, celebrated a lavish evening with the second Super Bowl triumph after the success of 2018. Philadelphia reciprocated for the final defeat two years ago when a ten-point lead against the Chiefs was not enough in the end. “It’s always about how you react. What a game today,” said Quarterback Hurts, after having been the most valuable player of Super Bowl 59. “It was all worth it. All of this up and down.”

Despite the personal award, Hurts focused on his teammates. “The defensive wins titles. We saw today what they made for a difference,” said the 26-year-old. “I’m so happy,” enthused Philadelphia’s coach Nick Sirianni. “I will shed a few tears of joy today.”

The evening was also special for Saquon Barkley: On his 28th birthday, the very big scenes for the best runningback last season failed to materialize, but the first Super Bowl triumph of his career also moved it that way. “I never stopped believing in it,” said the popular professional, who had previously had no chance at the New York Giants in a weak team for years. Now he won the most important title with the Eagles in his first year – and joked: “I couldn’t stand this team six months ago.”

The star playmaker Mahomes spoiled by success, on the other hand, experienced an evening to forget and has to wait for his fourth triumph with the chiefs. «You played great. There is no way around it, »he said. “Every time you lose a super bowl, this is the worst feeling of the world. These defeats will motivate me.” In 2021, the chiefs around Mahomes and Kelce, who stayed pale, had already lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaners.

With residues in the Super Bowl, the defending champion knew about it, and the chiefs were also significantly in the back of the two title winnings in 2023 and 2024. However, the attack by Mahomes was never as harmless and helpless as in the first half in New Orleans. “They make too many mistakes. Too many ball losses. Not much fits together,” said ex-NFL star Tom Brady in his role as a TV expert.

Eagles playmaker Hurts, who was the first touchdown himself, conducted his teammates in a controlled manner. Mahomes, on the other hand, came under pressure again and again, found no means at all and looked at a loss.

1:56 minutes before half -time, the chiefs got the ball after a good performance of their defense. Seven seconds later, Mahomes had thrown football into the arms of an opponent for the second time. When another nine seconds ran from the clock, AJ Brown celebrated a touchdown. 24: 0 for the break – the biggest optimists among the Eagles fans would not have dared to dream.

The first interception of the evening was preceded when Mahomes had thrown the ball into the arms of opponent Cooper Cooper Dejean. “These early ball losses hurt and have changed the momentum. I assume the criticism for it,” said Mahomes. Dejean ran into the end zone with the ball over almost half the field and scored a touchdown on his 22nd birthday. There has never been in a super bowl.

Trump, who was seen in the stadium during the national anthem and was both cheered and booed, said goodbye before the second half and also missed Kendrick Lamar’s show. The 37-year-old artist brought a more than ten-minute medley of his hits to the stage.

Former tennis superstar Serena Williams was also on stage and danced-just like in the end a person with a combined flag of the Palestinian areas and the Sudan. The NFL and the organizer Roc Nation distanced themselves.

When the entire stage equipment had disappeared again and the teams were on the field at the second half, the chiefs still came to three their own touchdowns – but at a time when the many Eagles fans in the stands have long since celebrated because the game was practical was decided.

Trump initially refrained from congratulations for the Eagles, and could not refrain from the stadium on his Network Truth Social Against Swift, which had spoken out for his competitor Kamala Harris before the election. “Maga is very resentful.” Maga is the abbreviation for “Make America Great Again”, the movement that gathers behind Trump.
