So much for the three-peat. Back in its box for at least two more years before anyone else can have a go. If revenge is a dish best served cold, the Eagles chilled one of their town’s famous Philly Cheesesteaks and rammed it down Kansas City’s throat. After losing the Super Bowl to KC two years ago in agonising fashion, this was redemption and it tasted oh so sweet. “It’s been a long journey, it’s a journey of ups and downs and highs and lows,” said Eagles quarterback, Jalen Hurts, who threw for two touchdowns, ran for another and was voted Most Valuable Player.
“I’ve always stayed true to myself and have this vision of being the best that I can be, and that evolved, over time, into this desire to win. You don’t do great things without having good guys around you. The effort, sticking to the script, and always trusting the process is what got us here.”. There are losses, there are big losses, and then there is this. With the chance to be the first team ever to win three Super Bowls in succession, the Chiefs were beaten so badly, family members would have struggled to recognise the body by half-time.
Had he not borne witness to the devastation wreaked on Patrick Mahomes and his teammates, President Donald Trump would have accused the mainstream media sitting right above him of creating fake news. And the scoreline even flattered KC, who trailed by 24-0 at half time, 34-0 in the third quarter, and 40-6 before two consolation touchdowns offered an air of respectability. Mahomes was pressured and harassed all night by a relentless Eagles defence that forced him into mistakes, leaving the Chiefs quarterback to take the blame. “I threw two interceptions in their end,” said Mahomes. “When you give a team 14 points, especially a really good team, then not a lot of good things happen.
Will a team ever win the Super Bowl three times in a row? Give us your prediction in the comments section. “That’s why I take ownership in this loss more than probably any loss in my entire career because I put us in a bad spot, and even though we put up some stats at the end of the game, those stats didn’t really matter because I’d already lost the momentum for this entire team. “I have to be better at not turning over whenever it’s not going my way, trusting in my defence, trusting in the rest of my team to get those stops until I can figure out what we need to do as an offence.”.
Hurts has been doubted by a lot of people and questioned as to whether or not he is an elite player but he answered those questions here and then explained how. He said: “It’s all about purpose, and purpose never changes. 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, but it really all began with great leadership and those who set examples for me. For that great leadership, I give a lot of credit to my parents.”.
