The Kansas City Chiefs came into this game focused on winning the Super Bowl for the third time in a row, but the Philadelphia Eagles were determined to spoil the party—and they did so in style, securing a 40-22 victory.

The game’s MVP, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, expressed his joy after the win:

“I’ve been able to use every experience and learn from it—the good and the bad—using it as fuel.

“There’s always going to be doubts and questioning, but this is my purpose and calling in life.

“Things come right on time, and you know, the last Super Bowl wasn’t our time yet. Sometimes, we have to accept that we have to wait our turn. I couldn’t do any of this without the guys around me.

“Defense wins championships. We saw the difference they made in the game today.

“Winning a national championship is just an unprecedented feeling. That kid in me always kept working at this, and I stayed true to his vision.”
