The Philadelphia Eagles were determined to prevent the Kansas City Chiefs from making history.
The Eagles dominated the Chiefs with a 40-22 victory in Super Bowl LIX for their second championship.
Philadelphia took a commanding 24-0 lead in the first half after Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes threw two interceptions, including one that was returned for a touchdown.
After the Eagles extended the lead to 34-0, the Chiefs offence finally found some production late in the third quarter as Mahomes found Xavier Worthy for a 24-yard touchdown. That made the game 34-6 after Kansas City failed to get the two-point conversion.
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley passed Terrell Davis for most rushing yards in a full season (meaning both regular season and playoffs) in the first half.
Davis rushed for 2,476 for Denver in 1998. Barkley entered this Super Bowl with 2,447 yards.
More to come.
