The Philadelphia Eagles shocked the hundreds of millions viewers that tuned into Super Bowl LIX when they throttled the Kansas City Chiefs en route to a 40-22 victory on Sunday night. The Eagles winning wasn't necessarily a surprise, but what was shocking was how dominant theh were against a Chiefs team that won the previous two Super Bowls.
Philadelphia made the Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes look lifeless. In the first half, the stifling Eagles defense held the Chiefs to just one first down, 23 yards of offense, no points, and forced two interceptions—including a pick-six. Without dialing up the blitz a single time, the Eagles sacked Mahomes six times and pressured him 16 times on 42 drop backs, per Next Gen Stats.
