The Philadelphia Eagles have beaten Kansas City Chiefs, the two-time reigning champion, to win the Super Bowl 59 (LIX) and the 2025 NFL championship. With the win, the Philadelphia Eagles have secured the fourth Super Bowl title in NFL franchise history.

Patrick Mahomes was looking to win the league MVP the third year in the row, after winning MVP and the Super Bowl in the same year in 2023 and 2024 since 1999.

The competition between the two teams was a large picture of the rivarly between the quarterback and the runningback. For the Kansas City, the win was expected to be their third ring in five years, and Patrick Mahomes hoped to lead his team to a repeat of its 2019, 2023 and 2024 victories. The Philadelphia Eagles were expected to win their second Super Bowl trophy in the franchise history.
