Super Bowl LVII: Chiefs beat Eagles in thriller as Patrick Mahomes defies injury to claim his second Super Bowl win

The Kansas Metropolis Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles 38-35 in one of many biggest Tremendous Bowls of all time, with Patrick Mahomes defying damage to win his second Tremendous Bowl title.

The Chiefs trailed by 10 at half-time, with Mahomes limping his means into the locker room after aggravating the ankle damage he picked up earlier within the playoffs. However, after the break, Mahomes led his staff on four-consecutive scoring drives to stun the Eagles.

Mahomes threw three touchdowns, however his stat line was in any other case a modest one, finishing 21 of 27 passes for 182 yards, with Kansas Metropolis’s offense stored off the sector for giant chunks of the sport.

Philadelphia dominated time of possession, whereas quarterback Jalen Hurts himself loved an unbelievable outing on the sport’s largest stage – throwing for over 300 yards and working in three TDs – however the sport swung within the second half as Mahomes carried Kansas Metropolis on his again.

The Chiefs nudged in entrance for the primary time with 12 minutes left within the fourth quarter as Mahomes discovered a wide-open Kadarius Toney for the go-ahead rating and, after a badly timed three-and-out of offense from the Eagles, KC swiftly discovered the tip zone for a second time inside three minutes.

Toney had a say in proceedings once more, with a Tremendous Bowl-record 65-yard punt return to set the Chiefs up on the Philadelphia five-yard line, earlier than one other blown protection allowed Mahomes to search out Skyy Moore on their own this time for the TD.

However again got here the Eagles, with an unruffled Hurts discovering DeVonta Smith deep down the left sideline for 45 yards to arrange his third dashing rating of the sport. Hurts then hurled himself over the objective line for the game-tying two-point conversion too, with 5 minutes and 15 seconds left.

Some of the outstanding elements of Mahomes’ efficiency was his potential to scramble, as he rushed for 44 yards on six carries, and it was one other – this one for 26 yards – that helped set Kansas Metropolis up on the Eagles 17-yard line simply earlier than the two-minute warning.

With time working out, Eagles followers will level to a questionable ‘move interference’ name on James Bradberry towards JuJu Smith-Schuster that granted the Chiefs a recent set of downs and allowed them to run off extra of the clock earlier than Harrison Butker in the end booted the game-winning discipline objective with eight seconds left.

There was time left for one final play, however Hurts’ determined deep heave down the sector fell incomplete to finish a Tremendous Bowl traditional.
