Final score: Eagles defeat Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025.

The game’s 40-22 final score wasn’t totally indicative of just how dominant Philadelphia was on both sides of the ball throughout the Super Bowl matchup.

If not for three late touchdown passes by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the Eagles would have shut out Kansas City in one of the most lopsided Super Bowl contests in recent memory.

Mahomes threw two game-changing interceptions in the first half of the game that helped Philadelphia get out to a massive lead before halftime.

Though the Chiefs had become experts at grinding out comeback wins throughout their 2024 campaign, Kansas City was completely outmatched at every turn in Super Bowl LIX.

Despite the Chiefs’ generally poor performance in the championship game, there were still a few bright spots that Kansas City’s fans can take solace in as the team heads into the offseason.

Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy caught all eight of the passes that were thrown his way and scored two touchdowns while picking up 157 yards.
