The winner on that occasion was Patrick Mahomes, there the Eagles fell to the Chiefs 38-35.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Full stop: President Donald Trump, who attended the game, being the only sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, must not have done very well in the betting, as he had predicted that the Chiefs would win and thus secure their third championship in a row. Too bad Donald, things here are not as you say.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28264\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28264\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28264 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Trump-en-super-bowl.jpeg\" alt=\"Philadelphia Eagles fly high winning the Super Bowl achieving the unthinkable against Kansas City\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1149\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Trump-en-super-bowl.jpeg 1600w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Trump-en-super-bowl-300x215.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Trump-en-super-bowl-1024x735.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Trump-en-super-bowl-768x552.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Trump-en-super-bowl-18x12.jpeg 18w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Trump-en-super-bowl-150x108.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Trump-en-super-bowl-696x500.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Trump-en-super-bowl-1068x767.jpeg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28264\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">President Donald Trump, who attended the game, the only sitting president to attend a Super Bowl, must not have fared well in the betting stakes, having predicted the Chiefs would win and thus secure their third straight championship.

In the first half the Eagles swept the field and did not allow the Chiefs to score a single field goal.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chiefs won the coin toss, and that was all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On their first offensive series of the night, Mahomes turned the ball over and with that came the first touchdown for the Eagles, scored by Jalen Hurts, Jake Elliot gave them the extra point with a perfect kick. Up to that point, it was 7-0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kansas City had the ball and with it the opportunity for their offense to rally. They failed to do so. After a majestic interception, the Eagles took the ball back and Jake Elliot scored a 48-yard field goal, adding another 3 points to put them at 10-0. Up to this point, Mahomes looked calm and smiling. He didn&#039;t do it again the rest of the night.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A pass from Patrick Mahomes looking for DeAndre Hopkins is intercepted by Cooper DeJean, who returned it 38 yards for another touchdown. Jake Elliott scores another extra point and it all leads to a resounding 17-0. Things are getting complicated for the Chiefs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be noted that all of this was in the first half. But that was not all, after the two-minute break, Jalen Hurts passes to the left to AJ Brown for 12 yards for another touchdown. Elliot added an extra point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After just 15 minutes of play, the powerful Eagles were already 24 points ahead of the leaders, who could not even raise their heads; their score was at zero.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second quarter begins. The Chiefs are penalized with a 10-yard penalty. Everything starts badly. There are no changes in the score and both teams go into halftime with a 24-0 lead, the second largest gap between teams in Super Bowl history, only surpassed by Washington&#039;s 25-point difference against Denver in the XXII edition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Half Time: Possible lawsuits and a pro-Palestine gatecrasher<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a few years now, Apple Music has been responsible for presenting the Super Bowl Halftime Show, a highly anticipated presentation for all attendees, who pay between $7,450 and $35,000 for a seat to see their favorite team or simply to attend and experience one of the most anticipated sporting events of the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lights go down. Everything is ready for Kendrick Lamar, one of the biggest rappers today, to make his appearance. Everything looked good up to that point. The lights go up in the center of the stage, which has been set up to make an impact. Actor Samuel L. Jackson appears in a penguin suit and top hat, emulating Uncle Sam.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lamar begins singing while squatting on a classic car from which a host of dancers emerge, who, it is acknowledged, performed an impeccable choreography that helped a poor show. It all started with the song Squabble Up, followed by his successful hits Humble and DNA. Then he added Euphoria and Not Like Us, the latter a surprise and a direct call to fellow rapper Drake.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although he won several Grammy Awards for this song, it is a settling of scores with the Canadian rapper, as in this song he not only questions his identity, but also accuses him of criminal acts. \u201cCertified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles,\u201d says one of the lines of the song. But that was not all, as Lamar was accompanied dancing by the glorious Serena Williams, yes, one of the most important tennis players in the history of the white sport, who is believed to have dated Drake. According to legal experts, a strong lawsuit is coming against Universal Music Group (UMG), Lamar\u2019s record label, for \u201cdefamation of potentially defamatory content.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Halfway through, Lamar was joined by fellow artist SZA for hits \u201cLuther\u201d and \u201cAll the Stars.\u201d Other hits Lamar performed included \u201cMan at the Garden,\u201d \u201cGnx,\u201d \u201cPeekaboo\u201d and \u201cTv Off.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the show ended, social media was filled with memes and messages more against than in favor of the long-awaited Halftime Show, even vindicating the show given by The Weekend, which was highly criticized for its mediocrity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Incidentally, one of Lamar\u2019s backup dancers was arrested on the field and could face charges after unfurling a flag combining the Sudanese and Palestinian flags with the words \u201cSudan\u201d and \u201cGaza\u201d written on it. The NFL confirmed that the person was part of the 400-member team, while the New Orleans Police Department said in a statement that \u201cpolice are working to determine applicable charges in this incident.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Let&#039;s get back to the game<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jake Elliott sends the opening kickoff into the end zone. Touchback. Patrick Mahomes doesn&#039;t get off to a good start in the second half, another Philadelphia sack. Jake Elliott scores a 29-yard field goal and the score advances to 27-0.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And the carnage continues, Jalen Hurts passes to DeVonta Smith for a 46-yard touchdown and Jake Elliott scores another extra point, 34-0. Here everything seemed lost for the Chiefs, and I&#039;m not talking about the game itself, but about being able to remove that terrible zero from the scoreboard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And it came! Finally, a touchdown fell for the Chiefs, Patrick Mahomes passed to the right to Xavier Worthy for 24 yards and finally they brought the score to zero. But that was it, because they did not achieve the 2-point conversion. Score: 34-6.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Eagles&#039; indomitable kicker showed his power again and had a perfect night. Jake Elliott scored a 48-yard field goal and added three points to Philadelphia. 37-6. He did it again and connected on another one, but this time from 50 yards, giving his team a 40-6 lead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After a back-and-forth, Patrick Mahomes scored another 6 points after passing to DeAndre Hopkins for a 7-yard touchdown, and this time they converted and added two more points for a 40-14. He repeated the feat and after a pass to Xavier Worthy for 50 yards he added another 6 points, and then, again a successful conversion for two points. Here everything came to 40-22 and there was nothing more the Kansas Chiefs could do, who, for many, needed a lesson in humility and a lesson to make them reflect on their arrogance and lack of respect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Let&#039;s celebrate<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amidst tears, smiles, screams, kisses and unstoppable emotion, the Philadelphia Eagles took home their Vince Lombardi, getting rid of the bad taste they had a couple of years ago, proving that there is someone who can beat Patrick Mahomes and that a defeat is just a step to rising to victory and becoming part of the legends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jalen Hurts is no longer in pain. Not only did he win the Vince Lombardi, he was named the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the game that led the Eagles to soar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI have a lot of respect for Pat, everything that he\u2019s been through, and I think in the end things come together in the moment. The last time I was here it wasn\u2019t my moment, sometimes you have to accept that you have to lose. With everything that happened in the last Super Bowl I still feel a little empty because we had a great performance and it wasn\u2019t enough to win. I think going through those emotions and processing those things and my experience made a big change in my life, in me, and it improved my desire to win,\u201d Hurts said in a press conference after the game, where he thanked his parents for the upbringing they have given him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Extra Time<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the artists who was known to be at the event was Taylor Swift, who has been the girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce for a couple of years. The famous woman arrived dressed in a white shirt and not the jersey of her \u201clove,\u201d as expected. Here, her fans have no weight, and every time she was caught on camera she was booed loudly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The one that is always welcomed in every home where the Super Bowl is watched in the United States is the Hass avocado, yes, the Mexican one, the famous \u201cgreen gold,\u201d which is known to have been more expensive and less abundant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although Mexican producers ruled out a decrease in avocado exports at the beginning of the month, academics pointed out that there was an impact on imports from the United States, as there was a reduction of approximately 15 percent in the amount of this fruit crossing the border.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Media reported that this year there were 27 thousand fewer tons of Mexican avocados at the Super Bowl. They highlighted that in 2024, 137 thousand tons were sold, and this year only 110 thousand. All this while producers are waiting for March 4 to find out if there will be a 25 percent tariff.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even as a six-month dry season begins for American football fans and the hangover from the Super Bowl is just beginning, everyone is starting to set their sights on Levi&#039;s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, home of the 49ers, where the LX edition of Super Bowl will be held.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>You may be interested in:<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/los-angeles-2028-olympic-games\/\"> Goodbye Paris 2024, hello Los Angeles 2028: the future of the Olympic Games lies in sustainability<\/a><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Escucha esta nota: &nbsp; Las apuestas no estaban a su favor, ni los \u00e1rbitros, ni las estad\u00edsticas, pero la noche de este domingo, las \u00c1guilas de Filadelfia volaron muy alto y se coronaron como los m\u00e1s grandes de la NFL en la edici\u00f3n n\u00famero LIX del S\u00faper Taz\u00f3n, logrando lo impensable, derrotar a la dinast\u00eda [&hellip;]<\/p>","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":28265,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-28263","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28263","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28263"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28263\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28269,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28263\/revisions\/28269"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/28265"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28263"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28263"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peninsula360press.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28263"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
