Eagles Dominate Chiefs: The Super Bowl in Photos

The Philadelphia Eagles are the Super Bowl LIX champions after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22, in New Orleans on Sunday.

The stakes were high from the outset: In a rematch of the Super Bowl played two years ago, the Eagles were fighting for their second N.F.L. title, while the Kansas City Chiefs were trying to make history with a “three-peat.”

But it was the Eagles raising the Vince Lombardi Trophy after the final whistle blew. Philadelphia dominated the Chiefs from the first quarter on. The Eagles led, 37-6, late in the game before Kansas City tacked on a few touchdowns.

More than 100 million people had been expected to watch the game on television. Here are some pictures from Super Bowl LIX:

Sunday’s game at the Super Dome in New Orleans was a rematch between the Chiefs and the Eagles. The teams also faced off two years ago.

Cooper DeJean, a rookie defensive back for Philadelphia, intercepted a pass by Mahomes in the second quarter and returned it 38 yards for a touchdown to make the lead 17-0.
