MVP crowned
Jalen Hurts is named Super Bowl MVP!
He’s silenced the doubters. “I couldn’t be here without my teammates... hell of a game today. It feels good.”
Mutual respect
Patrick Mahomes will quickly want to forget this day, but there’s still a ton of respect for opposing number Jalen Hurts, as this picture shows.
Mahomes copped six sacks and threw two picks in a nightmare outing.
Eagles fly
“You can’t be great without the greatness of others. This is the ultimate team sport,” says Eagles coach Nick Sirianni.
He then gets choked up while embracing his family as the celebrations kick into top gear.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts is full of praise for his team’s defence after their first-half shutout set up the victory.
FINAL SCORE: Philadelphia 40, Kansas City 22
The Eagles are champions!
Jordan Mailata gets his ring, Jalen Hurts leads from the front, and the defence can take a bow. This was some performance!
Touchdown Chiefs!
Xavier Worthy gets on the end of a ripping throw from Mahomes to add a consolation touchdown.
That’ll likely see us end at a scoreline of 40-22, which is much closer than the game would suggest.
