Well, there you have it. The Philadelphia Eagles are the 2025 Super  Bowl champions! In a blowout 40-22  victory over the Kansas City Chiefs  that saw them lead 24-0 at halftime,  the Eagles were utterly dominant.  They justified their National Football Conference Championship win  a couple of weeks ago with another  authoritative victory on the game’s  highest stage. Eagles quarterback  Jalen Hurts held down the fort, as his  steady presence enabled the Eagles  to ease in front without ever doubting the outcome. Hurts was cool and  collected, evidenced by his 221 yards  passing on 17 completions. He also  threw for two touchdowns and gained  72 yards on the ground. The only statistical blemish on his night was an  interception, but it hardly had any  impact on the thrashing that the Eagles gave to the two-time defending  champs. For his efforts under center,  Hurts was awarded Super Bowl MVP,  an accomplishment of major proportions that solidifies the 26-year-old’s  NFL legacy. However, he still has  many years to add to his collection  of accolades, and Hurts will remain a  major name in NFL football for years  to come. Although Hurts shined with his  MVP-level performance, the Eagles  got much-needed contributions from  across the board to ensure their victory on Sunday. Rookie cornerback  Cooper DeJean chose the perfect time  to catch his first career interception,  which he took back for a touchdown  to give the Eagles a 17-0 lead with  about seven minutes remaining in  the first half. Once Dejean’s pick-six  occurred, the Eagle's victory seemed  all but secured. This was further assisted by linebacker Zack Baun’s  interception of Chiefs quarterback  Patrick Mahomes on the Chiefs’ own  14-yard line with a couple of minutes  left in the first half. This then set up a  touchdown reception from Eagles receiver A.J. Brown to further balloon  the lead to 24-0. Even with their superstar running  back Saquon Barkley struggling — 25  carries for 57 yards — the Eagles encountered almost no resistance from  the Chiefs, with their defensive plays  powering their offensive success.  Besides the two aforementioned interceptions by DeJean and Baun, the  Eagle's defense forced a fumble and  sacked Mahomes for a loss on six separate occasions. With the Eagles employing a stalwart defense anchoring  a steady offensive attack, the Chiefs  were powerless to overcome their  early deficit. Mahomes had a horrific night, as  his 257 passing yards were greatly  inflated by scores near the end of  the game, which essentially served  as consolation prizes. He turned the  ball over on three separate occasions  — two interceptions and one fumble  — and looked completely out of sorts  in the first half, only throwing for  33 yards. It was an uncharacteristic  outing for the three-time Super Bowl  Champion and MVP, who has historically thrived when the games matter  the most.  Additionally, the Chiefs must go  back to the drawing board as an organization to remedy what went wrong  to foil their plans for a third consecutive Super Bowl victory. Veteran  tight end Travis Kelce has hinted at  this season potentially being his last. The Chiefs have further pressing  issues on both sides of the football  that need immediate remedying if  they want to remain contenders.  They need more reliable options at  receiver other than just standout  rookie Xavier Worthy, and their defense was torn into shreds on the Eagles’ offensive drives. But with head  coach Andy Reid confirming his return to the sideline next season amid  retirement rumors, the Chiefs hope  they can change their fortunes. Lastly, I want to thank everyone  for following these weekly recaps of  NFL action. It is fairly remarkable  that we started in early September,  and this has extended five months  into February.
