The Philadelphia Eagles edge past the Kansas City Chief in the second quarter, courtesy of team effort and especially Jalen Hurts. Until the first quarter, Eagles vs Chiefs were neck to neck at 7 points each. However, the point strected in favour of the Eagles when Gainwell picks up three yards. 2nd and 7, Hurts found Smith for a four-yard gain. Crucial 3rd and 3 at the Kansas City 9. Scott only picked up a single yard. 4th and 2, the Eagles offense lined up and they got the Chiefs’ defense to jump for a penalty. The neutral zone infraction gave the Eagles a first down. On the very next play, Hurts slipped through the defense and is in for a touchdown! The extra point is good and the Eagles have the lead. (Score (14-21).
Jalen Hurts in less than a full half of his first Super Bowl.

Coming to Eagles vs Chiefs, the first quarter witnessed some intense battles. Kelce opened in the middle of the field yet again. Chiefs went to work on those safeties and linebackers. Andy Reid swiftly sending the field-goal team onto the field here is an interesting decision. It's fourth-and-3, and Butker had the worst season of his career, accuracy-wise, this year. Now, coming to points. Hurts went with the old-fashioned quarterback sneak to get into the end zone and Jake Elliott’s extra-point attempt is good. Philadelphia instantly took a seven-point lead. However, in no time, Pacheco took off for a 24-yard gain and the Chiefs, in a blink, are already at the Philadelphia 20. We might be in for a high-scoring game here. On the next play, Pacheco picks up an additional two yards. On the very next play, Mahomes finds Kelce. One successful PAT later and we’re already tied up.
