Harrison Butker kicked a 27-yard field goal with eight seconds left after Patrick Mahomes broke off a 26-yard run on a gimpy ankle, lifting the Kansas City Chiefs to a 38-35 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl on Monday (AEDT).
Mahomes threw two touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and scrambled 26 yards on the go-ahead drive before Harrison Butker kicked a 27-yard field goal with eight seconds left to give the Chiefs a 38-35 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night .Mahomes and Hurts excelled in the first Super Bowl match-up featuring two Black starting quarterbacks. But Mahomes, the two-time AP NFL MVP, turned it up in the second half after re-aggravating a sprained right ankle.
After Mahomes took a knee two times, Butker nailed his kick, sending thousands of red-clad Chiefs fans into a frenzy. Mahomes, who suffered a high ankle sprain in the divisional round, hurt it again on a three-yard scramble late in the second quarter. He limped off the field but showed no ill effects on Kansas City’s next possession.
Mahomes tossed a five-yard touchdown pass to a wide-open Kardarius Toney to give Kansas City their first lead, 28-27, early in the fourth quarter. As “Fly! Eagles! Fly!” reverberated throughout the stadium, Mahomes and the Chiefs went back to work. But Hurts then made a rare mistake on the next drive when he fumbled without being hit while scrambling away from pressure. Nick Bolton picked it up and raced 36 yards for a score that made it 14-14. Hurts had just eight turnovers this season, six picks and two fumbles.He took off for 14 yards on the first play after the fumble. On fourth-and-five from Chiefs 44, Hurts ran 28 yards. He finished off the drive with a four-yard touchdown run to put Philadelphia ahead 21-14.
