Can Patrick Mahomes lead his Kansas City Chiefs to a second title in his third attempt, or will Jalen Hurts, ex-NRL prospect Jordan Mailata and former AFL ...

In the end the Eagles would have to settle for another Elliott field goal, extending the lead to 27-21 with a minute remaining in the third quarter. First, the Eagles quarterback took a deep shot after a breakdown in the Chiefs secondary and found a wide-open Smith who would have strolled in for a score had he stayed in bounds. It was a pinpoint accurate throw from Hurts, who was playing with poise and patience in the biggest game of his career to keep the Chiefs — and by extension Mahomes — off the field. Kelce had a quiet second quarter but it did not take long for Mahomes to connect with his top target, although it was far from a simple catch for the Kansas City tight end. Mahomes was in pain on the ground in the final stages of the second quarter. He was already hobbled. Hurts rushed for 63 yards in the first half alone and eventually passed the Super Bowl record for rushing yards by a quarterback (Steve McNair with 64 in 1999). After a few unsuccessful attempts to punch it in from Boston Scott, Kenneth Gainwell then appeared to have cashed in on a 3rd-and-2 to score the opening touchdown of the game. Philadelphia’s much-improved quarterback had a moment to forget in the second quarter when Nick Bolton returned a Hurts’ fumble for 36 yards to tie up the game. Hurts had been near-perfect in the opening half, scoring on the ground and through the air as the Eagles took a 14-7 lead. Steve Levy called it a “killer” moment in commentary and in the end it would be the difference as Jalen Hurts’ four-touchdown heroics were not enough for Philadelphia. Referee Carl Cheffers was also just as adamant in the post-game pool report that it was the right call, declaring: “It was a clear case of a jersey grab that caused restriction”.

In the Super Bowl against Tampa, the Bucs dominated with their defensive front which ruined the game for the Chiefs. The last time Kansas City was on this stage they were humiliated by Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a 31-9 blowout loss. Philadelphia claimed their first ever title in 2017 when they upset the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII.

There are wonderful people with the Chiefs who I have loved working with, but in the end, there’s a part of me that wants Jordan to do it.” The Ringer’s Sheil Kapadia is also going for Philly, while his colleague Kevin Clark even gave a score prediction, saying: “Eagles - and I picked the under, which was 50 right? British NFL star Efe Obada might not be too fond of Philadelphia given they are rivals to his Washington Commanders in the NFC East, but he also felt the Eagles will win. He exclusively told Mirror Sport: “I like the Eagles - but I don’t like picking against Patrick Mahomes.” It’s not just fans who are struggling to decide on their pick for the winner on Sunday. Both the Eagles and the Chiefs clinched the first seed in their respective conferences, and - remarkably - both teams scored 546 points this season.

NFL broadcasting has become a fascinating cottage industry, and there are few things more emblematic of that than Cleatus, the "NFL on Fox's" giant ...

The movements of the robot often capture trends, whether it's Tebowing or whatever else is "in" at the time. It also did the remade "Halo 2" cutscenes for the re-release as part of the Master Chief Collection. Cleatus has become a mascot not just for Fox, but for the NFL as a whole. Gary Hartley, Fox Sports' executive vice president of graphics, got the idea from his kid. In short, the thing is absolutely perfect for the NFL, a league known to be cheesy and over the top. The robot got its name in 2007 via fan poll, two years after its introduction.

Even still, these rules are all minor and haven't had much of an impact on the game. The Bills went as far as naming nine players captains (three on offense, four on defense and two on special teams). Only four stars fit on an NFL captain patch, so the maximum number of gold stars a captain's badge can have is four. That said, each team captain has minor responsibilities on game day. That is how the NFL honors its long-time captains as opposed to continually adding stars to each patch. Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have each been captains of the Chiefs five-plus times while Jason Kelce and Fletcher Cox have earned that honor on the Eagles side. The Ravens just name them on a weekly basis. He then earned his fourth in 2021 despite being on the Saints instead of the Buccaneers. The outline of the patch also changed from white to gold. Also, it's noteworthy that teams have never been forced to use captain patches. [Against the spread](https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/news/super-bowl-2023-picks-predictions-spread-eagles-chiefs/vkewawlwikba3kzq5kj76qya) But what does each element of the patch mean?

The Kansas City chiefs superstar quarterback looks destined to win the MVP and will look to break a 24-year old NFL curse at next week's Super Bowl.

Patrick Mahomes will look to break a 24-year standing NFL curse at Super Bowl LVII when he takes his team to Arizona to face the Philadelphia Eagles. But that mattered little to the 27-year-old, who continued to perform at an elite level. But it's not only questionable play that some people had pointed to start questioning whether he could continue being the best in the league, but the loss of superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

While the Chiefs go for their second Super Bowl win in four years, the Eagles aim to get back on top for the first time since 2018.

A 45-yard touchdown pass from Jalen Hurts to AJ Brown has the Eagles back in the lead. The Chiefs’ defenders looked to have the play covered only to make the massive mistake of losing track of the ball. What a time to produce it for the Eagles. Nick Bolton was the first to the ball and he scooped it up and enjoyed an unchecked run into the end zone. The second most unlikely touchdown pass of his career? Jordan Mailata does his job and opens up a big running lane for Hurts who has an easy run into the end zone.

Watching Brown soar with the Eagles was one of several reasons why Robinson ultimately lost his job with the Titans and several NFL fans were quick to remind Tennessee of what they’d lost after Brown’s dazzling play in the Super Bowl The touchdown was another highlight for Brown in a season where he chalked up his highest amount of receptions and receiving yards in a single season with 88 and 1,496 yards respectively. At the start of the second half, Brown proved his worth to the Eagles when he hauled in a 45-yard dart from QB Jalen Hurts to gift Philadelphia a 14-7 lead in the Super Bowl.

The unsavoury scenes left fans fuming before the Super Bowl got underway at State Farm Stadium in Arizona. Details here.

It appeared that the NFL's neurotrauma consultants missed a possible Jalen Hurts head injury in Super Bowl LVII.

Hurts asked for assistance getting up, and the game simply continued. The last thing the NFL wants is such a controversy in Super Bowl LVII, but the league might have one on its hands. Tagovailoa suffered multiple concussions in the 2022 season that neither the Dolphins’ medical staff, nor the unaffiliated neurotrauma consultants employed by the NFL seemed able to diagnose and deal with on the spot.

Nick Bolton scooped up a Jalen Hurts fumble and returned it 35 yards for a TD, which left several NFL stars in shock on Twitter.

It hasn’t seemed to hinder Hurts, becoming the first quarterback in Super Bowl history to have three rushing touchdowns in a game to tie the match at 35-35 with 5 minutes remaining on a two-point conversion. Another key moment in the first half saw Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker miss a 42-yard field goal, hitting the upright and missing with scores tied at 7-7, and appearing to slip on the painted Super Bowl logo as he made the kick. However, the abundance of NFL logos painted onto the field seem to be responsible for the players slipping over, with former Chiefs GM Scott Pioli noticing the size of the Super Bowl logos. Pioli said on Twitter that slipping over on painted areas of the field was “not uncommon on grass.” Despite the NFL spending $1.16m on developing a field for State Farm Stadium that took 11 months to grow, the surface for Super Bowl LVII was still remarkably not up to scratch, with Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes going down late in the first half with an ankle injury.

The Tom Brady era has ended as younger players like Patrick Mahomes make their mark, while injuries, diversity and other issues intensify.

That came several weeks after [Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts, said Snyder](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/10/18/sports/football/dan-snyder-washington-commanders.html) might have to be removed for sullying the league’s reputation.

With the 2022 season in the books, with a thrilling victory by the Kansas City Chiefs over the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl, here are some of the issues that will be the talk of the N.F.L. Their scary episodes again highlighted the brutality of the sport, and how many N.F.L. “We’ve been around for 104, 105 years, and is concerning that we’re still having these conversations that today we only have a few head coaches rather than many head coaches of color.” From the Super Bowl to the scouting combine in a few weeks to the start of free agency in March and the draft in April and the preparation for the new season a few months after that, the drumbeat of attraction and attention never seems to stop. “Mahomes is probably the best representation of that.”
