The Eagles’ offense found success early, with Hurts scoring on a well-executed "tush push" play. Their defense, however, stole the spotlight entirely, recording six sacks against Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes and intercepting him twice—a stunning feat considering he had gone nearly 300 attempts without an interception.The Chiefs struggled significantly, managing to gain only a single first down in the first half.
