Football is a game we all love to watch. We all support our hometown team and root for them to win and go all the way to the Superbowl. On February 8, most of the country gathered with friends and family to watch the Eagles take on the Chiefs in the 59th Superbowl.

The Superbowl took place in New Orleans where the Eagles defeated Kansas City 40-22.

The competition was a rematch of the 2023 Superbowl when the two teams faced each other. In that event, the Kansas City Chiefs came out on top.

“The Eagles defense was on lockdown, only holding the Chiefs to scoring 22 points,” said sophomore Kendall Gallup.

The Eagles came out flying in the first quarter putting 14 points on the board very quickly.

This left the Chiefs with no points early on, and that seemed to be super intimidating. The Eagle defense made a huge impact and forced a turnover from the Chiefs. This set the stage for the rest of the game.

“What a crazy game. I’ve never seen a Superbowl like this before,” said sophomore Billi Heinz.

In the second quarter the Eagles continued their strong defense.

Jalen Hurts continued to make magic happen on the offense and added 10 points to their total, continuing their lead while the Chiefs got on the board with only a field goal.

The halftime performance came out with a lot of energy. Audiences saw Kendrick Lamar and SZA sing some of their best songs together.

These two are going on tour together, so it was like a sneak peak of what we will see from them later on.

At halftime, Chiefs fans were hoping for them to come out with more energy and to get some points on the board.

The Eagles beat them to it, continuing the third quarter with another touchdown, and the defense kept the Chiefs from doing anything on their offense.

In the fourth quarter the Eagles scored their final touchdown, sealing the lead. The Chiefs came back with a touchdown and some field goals, but it wasn’t enough to match the Eagles. The Eagles’ defense held strong, and that played a huge part of what led them to their victory.

The Eagles shutdown the Chiefs after the Chiefs had been on a Superbowl win streak. The Chiefs were hoping to take home the three-peat. This took a ton of hard work from the Eagles.

It’s no doubt the Eagles’ defense is what carried them to their victory. At the conclusion of the game, Jalen Hurts was named the Superbowl MVP.
