Chiefs Score Touchdown with Xavier Worthy but Eagles Maintain Control in Super Bowl LIX NFL
The Kansas City Chiefs finally found the end zone in Super Bowl LIX with a precise pass from Patrick Mahomes to Xavier Worthy, resulting in a 24-yard touchdown. However, the two-point conversion attempt failed, keeping the score at 34-6 in favor of the Philadelphia Eagles. Despite getting on the board, Mahomes and the Chiefs continue to struggle against the Eagles’ dominant defense, which has controlled the game in all aspects.
The game, held at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, remains largely in the Eagles’ favor. Jalen Hurts has been leading Philadelphia with an efficient performance, accumulating 221 passing yards, two touchdowns, and making key rushing plays that wear down the Kansas City defense. The Eagles’ rushing attack has also been impressive, with Saquon Barkley surpassing 70 yards and adding a crucial touchdown.
Philadelphia’s defense has been the defining factor of the game. With five sacks on Mahomes and two interceptions, including a pick-six by Cooper DeJean, the Eagles have shut down Kansas City’s offense. As the fourth quarter progresses, the Chiefs need a nearly impossible comeback to avoid a crushing defeat.

Eagles Dominate the First Half and Extend Lead in the Third Quarter
From the very start, Philadelphia showcased an aggressive and efficient game plan. The first touchdown came in the opening quarter when Jalen Hurts pushed his way into the end zone using the famous tush push. Kansas City’s defense, led by Chris Jones and Nick Bolton, struggled to contain the Eagles’ powerful ground game, allowing consistent gains.
In the second quarter, Philadelphia turned up the pressure. Hurts connected with A.J. Brown for a 12-yard touchdown, further solidifying their control. The game’s biggest momentum shift came when Cooper DeJean intercepted Mahomes and returned it 38 yards for a touchdown. Kicker Jake Elliott added more points, successfully converting a 48-yard field goal and all extra-point attempts.
Meanwhile, Kansas City’s offense failed to gain traction. Mahomes faced relentless pressure, resulting in sacks and rushed throws. In the third quarter, the Chiefs finally broke the shutout with Worthy’s touchdown, but the failed two-point conversion left them trailing 34-6.
Key Game Highlights
- Philadelphia Eagles: 34 points, 3 touchdowns, 2 field goals.
- Kansas City Chiefs: 6 points, 1 touchdown, 2 interceptions thrown.
- Jalen Hurts: 17/22 passes, 221 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1 interception.
- Patrick Mahomes: 12/22 passes, 148 yards, 1 touchdown, 2 interceptions.
- Saquon Barkley: 72 rushing yards, 1 touchdown.
- Eagles Defense: 5 sacks, 2 interceptions, 1 pick-six.
Chiefs Struggle to Overcome Eagles’ Defensive Pressure
As the fourth quarter unfolds, Kansas City continues to battle against Philadelphia’s relentless defense. The Chiefs’ rushing game remains ineffective, with Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt combining for just 27 yards on the ground.
Mahomes, despite his touchdown to Worthy, has faced constant pressure, making it difficult to connect with his top targets. Travis Kelce and DeAndre Hopkins, the team’s primary receiving threats, have been effectively neutralized by the Eagles’ secondary, leaving Mahomes with limited options. Without a balanced offensive attack, the Chiefs are relying on deep passes and explosive plays to cut into the Eagles’ commanding lead.
On the defensive side, Kansas City has struggled to stop Philadelphia’s offense. Defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has made adjustments, but the Eagles’ offensive line has provided Hurts with ample time to operate, while also creating gaps for Barkley and Kenneth Gainwell to exploit in the running game.
Game-Changing Moments
- Cooper DeJean’s Pick-Six: A 38-yard interception return for a touchdown widened the Eagles’ lead.
- A.J. Brown’s Touchdown Catch: A 12-yard reception in the end zone, further strengthening Philadelphia’s grip on the game.
- Jake Elliott’s Field Goal: A successful 48-yard kick, adding insurance points for the Eagles.
- Josh Sweat’s Sack on Mahomes: Constant defensive pressure preventing Kansas City from executing deep plays.
- Xavier Worthy’s Touchdown: The only bright spot for the Chiefs, scoring on a 24-yard reception.
Eagles Defense: The Decisive Factor
Philadelphia’s defense has been the most dominant aspect of the game. With a well-coordinated pass rush and disciplined secondary, they have forced Mahomes into uncharacteristic mistakes. Zack Baun and Josh Sweat lead the team in sacks, while DeJean and Baun each recorded interceptions that drastically shifted the game’s momentum.
Against the run, the Eagles have also excelled, preventing the Chiefs’ backfield from making an impact. Without a strong ground game, Mahomes has been forced into high-pressure situations, leading to costly turnovers and inefficient offensive drives.
Overall Game Stats
- Eagles: 21 first downs, 339 total yards, 2 sacks allowed.
- Chiefs: 6 first downs, 155 total yards, 5 sacks allowed.
- Time of Possession: Eagles 32:26, Chiefs 17:38.
- Turnovers: Eagles 1, Chiefs 2.

What the Chiefs Need to Do for a Comeback
To stage an unlikely comeback, Kansas City must focus on several key areas:
- Better Pass Protection: The offensive line must contain the Eagles’ pass rush to allow Mahomes time to throw.
- Establish a Running Game: Pacheco and Hunt need to gain yards to balance the offense.
- More Aggressive Defense: Applying pressure on Hurts and forcing turnovers is crucial.
- Deep Passing Plays: Mahomes must take advantage of his receivers’ speed to create big-play opportunities.
With time running out and the Eagles managing the clock effectively, the Chiefs’ chances of a turnaround are slipping away. Philadelphia continues to execute their game plan to perfection, making it increasingly difficult for Kansas City to close the gap in Super Bowl LIX.
One quarter remains in Super Bowl LIX.
