The Eagles dominated the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, as MVP Jalen Hurts threw two touchdowns and the defense shut out Patrick Mahomes for most of the night in a championship performance.
It feels like they sold out to stop him, and with Hurts being able to scramble or the WRs winning 1v1s, the Chiefs D just couldn’t match up. It’s not like the Eagles have crazy WR talent either, but the pass rush wasn’t able to pressure Hurts enough
The eagles do have crazy WR talent. Smith and Brown each would be the best receiver on 18 other teams, and Dotson is ridiculously good for a third option. Now, Brown’s been hurt, but it didn’t seem to bother him tonight. Goedert was also injured, but when healthy he’s a top ten TE.
I guess the focus was more on Saquon over the season but I didn’t think the passing game was necessarily fantastic. They played out of their mind in the sb for sure, but leading up to it it was a Saquon show
Sure, because he’s Saquon, and he’s finally running behind a competent offensive line with a mobile qb who is a threat to go long. It was an ideal situation for him to explode and show the world what he can do. He could take it to the house from anywhere on the field, which is why KC stacked 7 or 8 in the box every play. Hurts demonstrated last night why none of the other teams the Eagles faced thought that would work.
Garbage time stats made this game look less of a blowout than it really was. Chiefs could not do anything vs that eagles defense.
Chiefs didn’t even cross midfield until the end of the 3rd quarter when they scored. That’s wild.
And even then, the touchdown shouldve been called back for holding.
Literally the only thing they did well was stop Barkley

It was insane how one sided it was
