At last, the time has come for Super Bowl LIX - the final game of the 2024 NFL season, the one that will determine the best team in all of football. The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are meeting once again, two years after their classic in the making at LVII.Patrick Mahomes has had his worst passing yardage as a starter, failing to hit at least 4,000 for the first time ever. Travis Kelce has caught only three touchdowns - a career-worst. But even then, they dominated en route to a franchise-best 15-2 record and defeated the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills in the playoffs.Meanwhile, on the other side of the matchup, Saquon Barkley utterly dominated the rushing department, winning Offensive Player of the Year after joining the 2,000-yard club.Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl LIX box scoreTeams1Q2Q3Q4QTotalKansas City Chiefs0 0 61622Philadelphia Eagles7 1710640Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl LIX player statsPassingPlayerCompletions/AttemptsYardsTouchdownsInterceptionsRatingPatrick Mahomes21/322573295.4Rushing and receivingPlayerCarriesYardsTouchdownsReceptionsYardsTouchdownsPatrick Mahomes4250000Kareem Hunt390150Samaje Perine180000Isiah Pacheco370150Xavier Worthy00081572Travis Kelce0004390DeAndre Hopkins0002181JuJu Smith-Schuster0002160Hollywood Brown0002150Noah Gray000120DefensePlayerTotal tacklesSolo tacklesSacksTackles for LossInterceptionsDrue Tranquill117120Nick Bolton94020Justin Reid75000Chamarri Conner63020Trent McDuffie54000Tershawn Wharton53000Mike Pennel Jr.52000George Karlaftis43110Bryan Cook43001Leo Chenal43010Jaden Hicks43000Charles Omenihu32010Derrick Nnadi21000Swayze Bozeman21000Felix Anudike-Uzomah21010Jaylen Watson11000Joshua Williams11000Mike Danna10000Chris Jones00000KickingPlayerField GoalsExtra pointsHarrison Butker00PuntingPlayerPuntsYardsInside 20LongestMatt Araiza6311060Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl LIX player statsPassingPlayerCompletions/AttemptsYardsTouchdownsInterceptionsRatingJalen Hurts17/2222121119.7Kenny Pickett0/100039.6Rushing and receivingPlayerCarriesYardsTouchdownsReceptionsYardsTouchdownsSaquon Barkley25570330Jalen Hurts11721000Kenneth Gainwell360000Kenny Pickett3-40000Jahan Dotson0002420A.J.

However, the offense failed to get past the 50 and also had to punt.Dallas Goedert became the first player to breach the 50 on the next drive, separating himself from the defense for Jalen Hurts to find for 20. Three plays later, he got another lucky break when Trent McDuffie was called for pass interference on him.Jahan Dotson seemingly concluded the drive with a touchdown catch, only for him to be ruled to have gone down at the 1. But Jalen Hurts eventually got it via his patented sneak:The Eagles then forced a three-and-out on the Chiefs' next drive, only for Brian Cook to intercept the ball at the 2 on the ensuing drive. However, they defensively recovered to force another three-and-out, which Jake Elliott punished with a field goal.Consecutive sacks by Josh Sweat (one solo, another split with Jalyx Hunt) paved the way for a pick-six by rookie cornerback (and birthday boy) Cooper DeJean:The next two drives ended in punts, but the Eagles made another brilliant defensive play - Zack Baun picking off Mahomes, which Brown turned into a touchdown.Another Chiefs punt ended the first half.The second half began with Patrick Mahomes being sacked twice, leading to Matt Araiza’s sixth punt of the game - which Elliott punished with yet another field goal after being set up by Saquon Barkley’s 22-yard bobble catch at the 4.On the next drive, the Chiefs sank themselves even deeper by committing a turnover on downs while within reach of the 50. Hurts promptly punished it by finding DeVonta Smith deep for six.But finally, just as the third quarter was ending, Mahomes found rookie Xavier Worthy for a touchdown - the Chiefs’ first score of the night. However, Travis Kelce failed on the two-pointer.In the fourth quarter, the Eagles scored another field goal, then Milton Williams sacked Mahomes and stole the ball - a play that became another field goal.A Xavier Worthy was nullified by pass interference on JuJu Smith-Schuster, but DeAndre Hopkins finally got it to get the Chiefs to double digits. Smith-Schuster then hauled in the two-pointer.Afterwards, Kenny Pickett entered the game, marking the beginning of the end for a game that promised much but turned ugly. He turned the ball over on downs, which turned into another Worthy touchdown plus two-pointer by Hopkins to end the game.
