Final thoughts

The Guardian will continue to have coverage of the Chiefs’ 38-35 victory over the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII over the course of the next few days. In fact, you can read Bryan Graham’s game report below.

However, this will be the end of today’s live coverage. Thanks to all who read, especially those who contributed (sorry I couldn’t use all of your emails). Ciao!

Mahomes leads Chiefs to comeback win against Eagles in Super Bowl classicRead more

13 Feb 202303.32GMT

And the presentation ends with a Beastie Boys reference. I believe, however, the Chiefs have already fought for their right to party, they can skip that part of the process and go right to celebrating.

13 Feb 202303.30GMT

Hurts should be MVP. They’ll never do it. Right? @HunterFelt

— David Lengel (@LengelDavid) February 13, 2023

Nope. It was pretty much written in stone that if the Chiefs managed to beat these Eagles, Patrick Mahomes would win the MVP and that’s exactly what happens.

“I’m not going to say dynasty yet. We’re not done!” Mahomes says after being asked about whether they’re a dynasty yet. This is a good answer.

13 Feb 202303.28GMT

Andy Reid gets the trophy and he sounds way calmer than a Super Bowl winning head coach should be. He is not retiring, apparently.

13 Feb 202303.25GMT

Second big game in a row these playoffs where a flag decides a title. Can not make that call in that spot. @HunterFelt

— David Lengel (@LengelDavid) February 13, 2023

This will probably be the main topic of conversation on Philadelphia sports talk radio for the foreseeable future.

In any case, as is our custom, we will be keeping this live blog going for the upcoming trophy presentation and postgame celebrations.

Email from S Fuller:

Hey my mid 30s score prediction is not looking bad right now. Cheers, s

Eagles 36-34 Chiefs is the right range, indeed, although not the actual winner. Of course, the Eagles were favored, so there’s no shame in that.

13 Feb 202303.18GMT

The big question will be, what happened to the Eagles pass rush? KC neutralized one of the best ever. That’s the whole game. @HunterFelt

— David Lengel (@LengelDavid) February 13, 2023

The Eagles left a few receivers wide open in the second half and that might have been the game. Mahomes is very very good, you don’t need to give him any help.

13 Feb 202303.16GMT

The Kansas City Chiefs are Super Bowl champions!

It looked hopeless for the Chiefs when Mahomes hobbled off the field at the end of the first half. Instead, the Chiefs came in and scored in every single one of their possessions in the second half.

13 Feb 202303.15GMT

Chiefs 38-35 Eagles, FINAL

The Eagles get the ball at their 36 and have four seconds left for a final play. Hurts throws one hopeless pass and that’s that, the Kansas City Chiefs have won Super Bowl LVII!

13 Feb 202303.13GMT

Field goal (Chiefs)! Chiefs 38-35 Eagles, :08, 4th quarter

The hold on the Eagles’ James Bradberry will certainly be the story of this game, should the Chiefs hang on to win here. Was that something that should get called in the last two minutes of a Super Bowl? Well, it was. Those are the facts here.

.@buttkicker7 gives the @Chiefs the lead with 8 seconds left!

— NFL (@NFL) February 13, 2023

In any case, Butkis is up for the game-winning 27-yard field goal and it is good with just eight seconds left on the clock!

13 Feb 202303.10GMT

Chiefs 35-35 Eagles, :54, 4th quarter

McKinnon does a good job at stopping at the two-yard line rather than running in for a touchdown that would give the ball back to the Eagles. The clock is everything right now. Mahomes kneels and gets pushed back five yards.

13 Feb 202303.08GMT

Chiefs 35-35 Eagles, 1:54, 4th quarter

Mahomes passes to J.S.S., who gains nothing on the play. It’s 3rd and 8. The Chiefs take a timeout. Mahomes lofts a ball up towards the end zone where there’s nobody to catch it.

And there’s defensive holding on the play! That’s a five-yard penalty and an automatic first down for Kansas City.

13 Feb 202303.05GMT

@HunterFelt I bet this Super Bowl is going to go overtime

— Christina Connor (@NalaUzamaki10) February 13, 2023

I see this being decided right here and right now although this may be wishful thinking on my part given that I’m not paid extra for overtime.

13 Feb 202303.03GMT

Chiefs 35-35 Eagles, 2:00, 4th quarter

It looks like the Eagles defense is about to stop Mahomes, but he scrambles and runs for 26 yards. The Chiefs are at the Eagles 17. They hand the ball to Pacheco who takes the ball to the Philadelphia 15.

And we’re at the two-minute warning with the Chiefs getting ready to take a very late lead.

13 Feb 202303.02GMT

Chiefs 35-35 Eagles, 2:53, 4th quarter

Mahomes finds Kelce for… just shy of a first down. It’s 3rd and 1 at the KC 47. Pacheco returns to the game, but Kelce is taken out. On the next play, Pacheco proves he’s okay by exploding for 10 yards, only to be stopped further by Gardner-Johnson.

13 Feb 202302.58GMT

Chiefs 35-35 Eagles, 4:32, 4th quarter

Another kick, another touchback.

On first down, Pacheco picks up three yards. 2nd and 7. Mahomes finds J.S.S. again (it’s easier than typing Smith-Schuster, just let me call him that) and the two combine for a first down.

On the next play, Pacheco picks up two yards to get the Chiefs to their own 38 but he’s hurt on the play after taking a hit. We take an injury timeout.

13 Feb 202302.55GMT

Email from Roger Kay:

Hi Hunter,

Love the coverage. I’m sitting on a sofa in California with 2 Irish, 2 Scots and a French person plus a few Americans. I’d just like to say for the record that I called the KC last play - just run that same play action as the last TD but switch the side! I’m

Worth at least a few $ million a year :)

Go Chiefs!

Good job but I’m guessing, as a Chiefs fan, the joy was transient in nature.

13 Feb 202302.53GMT

Touchdown and two-point conversion (Eagles)! Chiefs 35-35 Eagles, 6:07, 4th quarter

Super Bowl LVII: Kansas City Chiefs 38-35 Philadelphia Eagles – as it happened (1)

Hurts finds Smith for a 47 yard gain! That puts the Eagles at the Kansas City 1. On the next play, Hurts rushes in for a touchdown. They still need a two-point conversion to tie this up, but Hurts runs it in himself and we are tied up!

Are you not entertained?

13 Feb 202302.50GMT

Chiefs 35-27 Eagles, 6:07, 4th quarter

Hurts is sacked for a yard on first down. 1st and 11, Philly at their own 35. Hurts finds Brown with a short pass, Brown ends up picking up seven yards. 3rd and 5. Hurts connects with Brown again and he picks up 11 yards and brings the Eagles to the Kansas City 47.

13 Feb 202302.48GMT

Chiefs 35-27 Eagles, 8:08, 4th quarter

Okay, another kick, another touchback. Philadelphia’s time to respond, if they can. On 1st and 10, Sanders picks up five yards. On second down, he picks up an additional three. Another 3rd and 1. They run the quarterback sneak and Hurts just barely gets the first down at the last second.

13 Feb 202302.45GMT

If I’m Andy Reid I’m absolutely retiring at the end of this game if this score holds up. Go out on top.

13 Feb 202302.43GMT

Touchdown (Chiefs)! Chiefs 35-27 Eagles, 9:22, 4th quarter

The Chiefs are at the Philadelphia 5. Pacheco picks up a yard. 2nd and goal. Mahomes has to throw to nowhere. 3rd and goal, Mahomes finds Moore who runs it in for a touchdown and that punt return might just end up being the play of the game.

The extra point is good and the Eagles desperately need to answer in this next possession.

13 Feb 202302.40GMT

Chiefs 28-27 Eagles, 10:33, 4th quarter

Hurts finds Pascal for a two-yard gain. 3rd and 2. Hurts has to run from defenders and has to throw the ball away. Fantastic coverage there from Kansas City, putting him in no man’s land. That’s a three-and-out and we get a rare sight of the Eagles punter.

Oh no. Toney returns the punt all the way to the Philadelphia 5! Oh wow, that’s 65 yards and it almost was a TD!

13 Feb 202302.38GMT

Chiefs 28-27 Eagles, 11:50, 4th quarter

Another kickoff. Another touchback. The Eagles are going to be at their own 25 and they no longer have the luxury of playing with the lead. Hurts finds Goedert for a five-yard gain on first down.

13 Feb 202302.36GMT

This is officially the game us neutral fans were hoping to see. My sincerest apologies, however, to fans of either team

13 Feb 202302.34GMT

Touchdown (Chiefs)! Chiefs 28-27 Eagles, 12:04, 4th quarter

Super Bowl LVII: Kansas City Chiefs 38-35 Philadelphia Eagles – as it happened (2)

Mahomes keeps going to Simon-Schuster. The two get the ball to the Philadelphia 9. Next play, McKinnon gets to the Philadelphia 5. 3rd and 3, Mahomes finds a ridiculously alone Toney for a walk-in touchdown. The extra point is good and Kansas City has a one-point lead!

TIE GAME. HERE WE GO.

13 Feb 202302.31GMT

Chiefs 21-27 Eagles, 14:04, 4th quarter

Mahomes gets plenty of time to throw, which is not good news for Philadelphia. He finds Smith-Schuster for a 14-yard gain. The Chiefs are at the Eagles 30. On the next play, the yellow flags lie. It’s offsides on the defense, a five-yard penalty on Philly.

1st and 5 at the Philadelphia 25. Mahomes and J.S.S. connect for the second straight time, this one gets the Chiefs to the Philadelphia 12.

13 Feb 202302.28GMT

@HunterFelt If another KC TD then Eagles FG will end 28-30 meaning it would come down to the missed early FG

— Mike Sanderson (@_mikesand) February 13, 2023

Doomsday scenario in play!

13 Feb 202302.26GMT

Chiefs 21-27 Eagles, end of the 3rd quarter

Mahomes’s next pass is to Smith-Schuster and it’s just enough for a first down. The Chiefs are at their own 36, Pacheco rushes for nine yards to set up a 2nd and 1. Pacheco gets in eleven yards before the end of the third quarter. The Chiefs will begin the fourth quarter at the Eagles 44.

13 Feb 202302.25GMT

Chiefs 21-27 Eagles, 1:10, 3rd quarter

That drive was nearly eight minutes. The Eagles are definitely winning the time-of-possession battle. Elliot’s kick goes into the end zone for (all together now) A TOUCHBACK.

Mahomes’s first pass is caught by Kelce for a three-yard gain.

13 Feb 202302.21GMT

Field goal (Eagles)! Chiefs 21-27 Eagles, 1:45, 3rd quarter

Hurts finds Gainwell who gets stopped by Bolton before picking up a first down. Elliott is up to kick a field goal. It’s good, but this feels like a moral victory for Kansas City.

13 Feb 202302.19GMT

Chiefs 21-24 Eagles, 2:36, 3rd quarter

With a fresh set of downs, Hurts gets sacked. The first of the game! It’s only a yard, however, and the Eagles have three more downs. After an incomplete pass, they’re down to a 3rd and 11 situation. This would be a huge moment for the Chiefs to hold them to a field goal.

The Eagles call a timeout after having trouble getting a play off.

13 Feb 202302.17GMT

Chiefs 21-24 Eagles, 4:01, 3rd quarter

Sanders runs it again, just short of a first down. It’s 3rd and 1 at the KC 21 for Philadelphia. The Eagles do not quarterback sneak! Maybe they should have, Sanders is stopped for no gain. A huge 4th and 1 call? Not really, Hurts is automatic when he just needs a yard.

13 Feb 202302.14GMT

Chiefs 21-24 Eagles, 5:55, 3rd quarter

The ruling on the field stands! The Chiefs lose their challenge and a timeout! The Eagles are at the Kansas City 30. No, make that the 26 after Sanders picks up four more yards.

13 Feb 202302.13GMT

I really hope that the Breaking Bad actors got paid ridiculous money for the Super Bowl ad that just aired in the US because that was maybe the most embarrassing one I’ve seen in my years liveblogging these things.

13 Feb 202302.11GMT

Chiefs 21-24 Eagles, 6:13, 3rd quarter

And Andy Reid has challenged it, so maybe the Eagles didn’t get away with anything! Let’s see how the zebras rule, this might be a crucial turning point.

13 Feb 202302.09GMT

Chiefs 21-24 Eagles, 6:13, 3rd quarter

Hurts scrambles on first down, picking up a yard. Hurts airs one out to Watkins, who has the ball briefly but drops it. Oof that would have put them on the doorstep of a touchdown. 3rd and 9. There’s a flag on the play: the Eagles couldn’t get the play off on time. Delay of game. Five yard penalty.

Hurts needs to make a big throw here and he does! He finds Goedert at the Kansas City 30! (He bobbles it slightly, but the officials don’t catch it.)

13 Feb 202302.06GMT

Chiefs 21-24 Eagles, 7:44, 3rd quarter

Hurts finds Quez Watkins for an eight-yard gain. 2nd and 2. Gainwell doesn’t get anything on his carry but he manages to pick up three on 3rd and 2.

13 Feb 202302.04GMT

Chiefs 21-24 Eagles, 8:43, 3rd quarter

2nd and 10. Hurts finds Brown for a four-yard gain. 3rd and 6, Hurts finds Goedert at the Philadelphia 46! That’s a first down.

13 Feb 202302.03GMT

Chiefs 21-24 Eagles, 9:30, 3rd quarter

The Eagles start at their own 25 after another touchback. It looks like Jalen Hurts throws a pass to Sanders that gets dropped and returned for a touchdown. HOWEVER. The play is under review.

And the receiver did not have possession, so it was indeed just an incomplete pass.

13 Feb 202301.59GMT

That’s what’s called a “reverse jinx” in the business. Now can the Eagles respond?
