Super Bowl 2025 LIVE RESULT – Taylor Swift BOOED as Eagles thrash Chiefs to win title and ruin three-peat bid – reaction
THE Philadelphia Eagles cruised to their second Super Bowl and thwarted the Kansas City Chiefs' three-peat bid last night.
Jalen Hurts and his men in green were magnificent, with touchdowns from DeVonta Smith, AJ Brown as well as the defensive stars Zach Baun and Cooper DeJean.
But the Kansas City Chiefs will be kicking themselves, after missing the chance of an unprecedented Super Bowl three-peat - and their usually magnificent offense took too long to get going.
Taylor Swift made a low-key appearance in the private boxes and her beau Travis Kelce left the field with a face like thunder following a difficult evening in New Orleans, in which she was booed by the Eagles faithful.
RESULT: Kansas City Chiefs 22-40 Philadelphia Eagles

Kansas City Chiefs 0-24 Philadelphia Eagles
Half-time.
Well, that was quite something.
'Stunned into silence'
Chiefs fans inside the Superdome are stunned into silence, they can’t believe what they’re seeing. Neither can Eagles fans to be honest, there’s a party in green in the stands
Mahomes meltdown or Eagles defence soaring?
Its the latter culminating in the former from all looks of things.
This is the best post-season quarterback the game has seen since Tom Brady in the biggest game of his career producing uncharacteristic mistakes - that's credit to Vic Fangio (Eagles defensive coordinator).

Commercials...
They're quite something these commercials.

Q2 2:25: Flag on Chiefs for personal foul on Barkley by Bolton, automatic first down for the Eagles.
It was desperation personified by Kansas defence.
DeJean return 'looked impossible'
Wow! What an amazing run of plays from the Eagles defence. Mahomes was sacked twice in a tow and on third down his pass was way off.
From our angle here that return from Cooper DeJean looked impossible but somehow he found a lane.
Eagles fans just erupted after that pick-six. What a huge play.

Q2 5:20: Mahomes sacked AGAIN.
Brady, on comms, has identified the issue of unclarity maybe due to footwork and frankly it seems a case of the brain and body not cooperating at all.

Q2 7:02: An incredible sequence in every way.
It comes off the back of Mahomes being sacked twice on 3rd and 16, there's a state of panic on his attempted throw and DeJean picks it off before driving all the way to the endzone on a 38-yard drive.
And guess this, its the 22-year-old's birthday! Some present from Mahomes.

Swift cam
Taylor Swift popped up on the big screen a few minutes ago and she was booed by fans. She seemed to take it in good spirit and laughed it off. Nobody has really got to the bottom of her Philadelphia Eagles ties, buts she’s all Kansas City Chiefs now.

Eagles touchdown 'takes roof off'
That Eagles touchdown has almost taken the roof off this place, and their defence is certainly fired up too. On the previous drive, coach Nick Sirianni ran down the sideline to celebrate a stop with his players. Eagles on top early.

Q1 4:36: Eagles lead through their offensive spark but their stance is being set by a stubborn defensive set that has kept Mahomes wanting more than he can actually get.
Another possession that ends in a punt away.
