The Philadelphia Eagles executed one of the most dominant defensive performances in recent Super Bowl memory with their 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. During the win that brought Philadelphia its second ever Super Bowl victory, the Eagles completely shut down Patrick Mahomes in a manner few teams have done over his incredible career.
The Eagles defense held Mahomes and the Chiefs offense scoreless and to just 23 yards during the first half. They intercepted Mahomes, a three-time Super Bowl champion, twice, including one pick that was returned for a touchdown. They sacked Mahomed six times, and applied rampant pressure that kept Mahomes from ever establishing a rhythm, and did it without blitzing one time.
