There will be no three-peat for the Kansas City Chiefs this year.

In a stunningly bad performance, the Chiefs fell to the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22 in the Super Bowl on Sunday. It was utter dominance from the Eagles all night while Kansas City's offense remained stagnant in the loss.

Patrick Mahomes, who led the Chiefs to back-to-back championships and three total in his career, had 257 passing yards on 21-of-32 passing, but turnovers proved to be detrimental. He threw two interceptions and lost the ball on a strip sack.

The three-time Super Bowl MVP threw a pick-six to Philadelphia's Cooper DeJean to make it 17-0 in the second quarter before throwing another interception late in the half, giving the Eagles the ball in the red zone. Philadelphia capitalized with a touchdown off the turnover to go into the half leading 24-0.

Mahomes had three touchdown passes, but they all came in the second half when it was too late to mount a comeback.

Mahomes' co-star, Travis Kelce, had little to show for in his fifth Super Bowl. The tight end finished with just 39 receiving yards on four receptions.

While Mahomes was far from the best version of himself, his offensive line didn't help him very much. He was sacked a career-high six times and was pressured by the Eagles' defensive line seemingly every play.

The Chiefs were by no means dominant this season, squeaking out narrow wins on their way to a 15-2 record. On Sunday, all of their weaknesses were on display and it led to a dominant win for the Eagles.

Now, Kansas City will head into the offseason and try to figure out what it needs to do to get back to championship form.

The Philadelphia Eagles completed one of the most comprehensive Super Bowl victories in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl 59.

The fourth quarter, though, was the lowest-scoring period for the Eagles inside the Superdome in New Orleans.

The Kansas City Chiefs outscored the Eagles in the fourth quarter, but it was far too little, too late for Patrick Mahomes and Co. to stage a comeback.

Xavier Worthy and DeAndre Hopkins caught touchdown passes from Mahomes to make the final score look a bit more respectable for the Chiefs.

The Eagles added to their advantage with two Jake Elliott field goals in the fourth quarter.

Elliott knocked in field goals from 48 and 50 yards to open up the lead to 34 points.

Kansas City answered back late in the fourth quarter with a seven-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to DeAndre Hopkins.

The Chiefs' offense took one more shot late in the fourth quarter, as Mahomes hit Xavier Worthy down the middle for a 50-yard touchdown catch.

Worthy finished with the most receiving yards in the Super Bowl. He was the only player on either team with more than 70 receiving yards. He had 157 yards and two touchdowns on eight catches.

DeVonta Smith was the Eagles' top pass-catcher with 69 yards on four catches. A.J. Brown chipped in 43 receiving yards of his own.

The Eagles won without an incredibly effective game out of Saquon Barkley, who had 57 yards on 25 carries. He did have six catches for 40 yards.

Philadelphia's defense forced three turnovers. one of which was a Cooper DeJean pick six, to open up the advantage and stay in front for the entire game.

The Philadelphia Eagles extended their Super Bowl 59 advantage in the third quarter against the Kansas City Chiefs.

However, Patrick Mahomes and Co. finally got on the board at the end of the period on a touchdown pass to Xavier Worthy.

Philadelphia appeared to close the door on the Chiefs with a touchdown pass of its own from Jalen Hurts to DeVonta Smith.

The Eagles head into the fourth quarter with a 34-6 advantage and the ball after KC's late third-quarter score.

Philadelphia 7 17 10 - 34

The Eagles broke their lead open to 34 points on DeVonta Smith's 46-yard touchdown reception from Hurts.

For the first time in Super Bowl 59, Kansas City found an answer to the Eagles' dominant play with a quick drive down the field.

Xavier Worthy caught a 24-yard pass in the end zone two minutes and six seconds after Smith flew into the end zone.

Worthy had two big catches on Kansas City's first scoring drive, and thanks to those long receptions, he is the game's leading receiver going into the fourth quarter.

Worthy has four catches for 83 yards. Smith is second to Worthy on the game receiving chart with 69 yards from four receptions.

The two biggest offensive stars in the game, Saquon Barkley and Travis Kelce, have been contained through three quarters.

Barkley has 18 carries for 47 yards, while Kelce has two catches for 22 yards. Both of Kelce's catches came in the third quarter.

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl LIX halftime show at Caesars Superdome on Sunday was a memorable one.

Lamar's performance featured an introduction from actor Samuel L. Jackson before the rapper played several of his hit songs.

Lamar's setlist included "Squabble Up," "Humble," "Euphoria" and "Luther." The show featured an appearance from SZA, who performed alongside the 22-time Grammy Award-winning rapper.

Tennis legend Serena Williams also showed up to dance at the concert and gave fans a backstage look on social media.

Lamar teased his popular diss track aimed at fellow rapper Drake, "Not Like Us," several times throughout the show before finally playing it in front of the crowd.

Mustard, who produced the song, also made an appearance with Lamar later in the show.

Viewers were amazed by the performance.

The Philadelphia Eagles held a 24-0 lead over the Kansas City Chiefs heading into the second half of Sunday's Super Bowl clash.

Saquon Barkley made history in the Super Bowl on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles star running back broke NFL legend Terrell Davis' record for the most rushing yards in the regular season and playoffs combined. Davis set the record in 1998 when he recorded 2,476 yards, but Barkley got to 2,478 yards in the first half of Sunday's matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Barkley came into the game with 2,447 rushing yards and picked up 31 in the first half to get the record. The first-year Eagle had 2,005 rushing yards in the regular season and has been just as dominant in the postseason.

He had 119 yards in the wild-card round against the Green Bay Packers, 205 in the divisional round against the Los Angeles Rams and 118 in the NFC Championship win over the Washington Commanders, making his rushing-yard total through three postseason games 442.

Barkley, who is playing in his second postseason of his career, also scored five touchdowns in the games before the Super Bowl.

Barkley's regular-season rushing total was just 100 yards shy of matching the single-season rushing record set by Eric Dickerson in 1984.

With the help of Barkley, the Eagles enjoyed a comfortable lead heading into the second half against the Chiefs. Philadelphia led Kansas City 24-0 thanks to a touchdown pass from Jalen Hurts to A.J. Brown, a score on the ground from Hurts and a pick-six from rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean.

Barkley, who joined the Eagles over the offseason after six years with the Giants, is now looking to cap off his career year with a championship.

It was not an ideal start for Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl LIX.

The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback went 6-of-14 for 33 yards and two interceptions in the opening half, including one interception that was returned for a touchdown by Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean

These struggles limited Kansas City's offensive output and the team entered halftime facing a 24-0 deficit.

On the other side, Eagles quarterback went 11-of-15 for 123 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The Kansas City offense produced a total of 23 yards in the opening half, earned one total first down and averaged 1.2 yards per play.

While it was a rough start, Mahomes' track record still leaves room for optimism. He is a three-time Super Bowl champion and MVP and has made the Super Bowl in five of his seven seasons.

While it will be an uphill battle to complete a comeback, Mahomes and the Chiefs will hope for a major shift in momentum at the start of the third quarter.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is continuing his sideline reading in the Super Bowl.

Brown was again seen reading Jim Murphy's "Inner Excellence" after catching a touchdown pass from Jalen Hurts in the second quarter of Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Murphy's book became a bestseller after Brown went viral for reading the self-improvement book on the sideline of the Eagles' Wild Card win over the Green Bay Packers.
