Kansas City Chiefs win Super Bowl in a classic against the Philadelphia Eagles

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs overcame the inspired Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts to win their second Super Bowl in four years with a 38-35 win in a classic contest on Sunday.

Hurts produced four touchdowns, three of them rushing, and threw for 304 yards but ended on the losing side with a late field goal from Harrison Butker settling a ding-dong battle in Arizona.

"You either win or you learn," he said.

"I am so proud of this team, for everything we have been able to overcome. Obviously we had a big time goal at the end that we wanted to accomplish and we came up short," he said.

The game got off to an explosive start with the Eagles scoring a touchdown on the opening drive -- Hurts crossing with a quarterback sneak at the end of an impressive an 11-play, 75 yard drive.
