The Kansas City Chiefs have beaten the Philadelphia Eagles to win Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona. The final score was Chiefs 38, Eagles 35.
The Chiefs victory was marked by 24 points during a truly epic second half.
After being down 10 at halftime, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes led Kansas City to a furious second-half comeback.
With the score tied at 35, Mahomes led a time-consuming drive that culminated in the winning score.
The Chiefs’ kicker Harrison Butker hit the game-winning 27-yard field goal with seconds remaining in the game.
The comeback was even more remarkable considering Mahomes’ situation at the end of the first half. He appeared to hurt his right ankle late in the second quarter. On a third down scramble, Mahomes was tackled around both of his ankles by Eagles linebacker T.J. Edwards.
The Chiefs signal-caller was in visible distress while he limped off the field and seen in agony while sitting on the Chiefs bench.
Mahomes finished the game with three passing touchdowns.
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was brilliant in a losing effort. Hurts threw for a score and ran for three touchdowns – tying a Super Bowl record (Denver Broncos’ Terrell Davis – Super Bowl XXXII).
