In a blowout victory, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59, earning a welcomed and anticipated win for Eagles fans and ending Kansas City’s bid for three consecutive championships.
The Eagles won 40-22 after producing the second-largest first half lead in Super Bowl history to hoist their second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history. Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts broke his own record for the most postseason rushing yards for a quarterback. Head coach Nick Sirianni was bestowed with a Gatorade bath with 2:52 remaining, a testament to how dominant the Birds’ victory was.
Fans poured into Center City before the game officially ended. Police barricades set up around City Hall blocked access and, at times, created a bottleneck of fans trying to beeline to Broad Street celebrations. For Ella O’Connor, the celebration wasn’t just about the Super Bowl, but “an entire group of Philadelphians coming together.”
“For right now, [with] where society’s at, it’s really important to have some type of group coming together as a whole,” O’Connor said. “So many people are divided … politically and I think, not that this puts together two groups of people, but it puts together people and kind of makes you forget about what’s going on in the world.”
