In a rematch of Super Bowl 52, the NFC Champion Philadelphia Eagles defeated the AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs 40–22, securing their first Super Bowl championship since Super Bowl 52 seven years earlier, and second overall. The game was played on February 9, 2025, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The eleventh Super Bowl played in New Orleans, it was the eighth in the Superdome and the first since Super Bowl 47 in 2013. In the first quarter, the Eagles put together a 7-play, 69-yard touchdown drive that included a 20-yard pass to Dallas Goedert. Although Jahan Dotson caught a pass that was initially signaled a touchdown, he was ruled short of the goal line; regardless, Jalen Hurts scored with a quarterback sneak using the team's signature Tush Push play for a 1-yard touchdown. Later in the 2nd quarter, Jake Elliott would make a 48-yard field goal. On the Chiefs next drive Mahomes threw an interception to DeJean, who returned it 38 yards for a touchdown. Both teams then traded punts before Mahomes threw another interception to Zack Baun shortly after the two-minute warning, which set up a 12-yard touchdown pass from Hurts to Brown, extending the Eagles' lead to 24–0 before halftime. In the third quarter, the Eagles would again drive down the field 69 yards, including a 16-yard and 14-yard run by Hurts, which ended with a 29-yard field goal from Jake Elliott. The Chiefs' next drive took them five plays and 17 yards to their own 47-yard line. Facing a fourth down, a pass from Mahomes to DeAndre Hopkins fell incomplete after it was batted away by Avonte Maddox, resulting in a turnover on downs. On the next play, Hurts threw a 46-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith, increasing the Eagles' score to 34. The Chiefs responded with a 24-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes to Worthy at the end of the third quarter, but the two-point conversion from Mahomes to tight end Travis Kelce was unsuccessful. In the fourth quarter, after a 48-yard field goal from Elliott, Mahomes fumbled the ball on a strip sack by Milton Williams, which was recovered by Williams himself at the Chiefs' 18-yard line. Although an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was called on Williams, Elliott converted a 50-yard field goal attempt, making the score 40–6. On the next drive, Mahomes threw a 7-yard pass to DeAndre Hopkins for a touchdown; the corresponding 2-point conversion from Mahomes to Justin Watson was successful. After an Eagles turnover on downs, Mahomes responded with a 50-yard touchdown pass to Worthy and another successful 2-point conversion with a pass to Hopkins, cutting the Chiefs' deficit to 18 points for a 40–22 score. A subsequent onside kick was recovered by the Eagles, who ran out the clock.
