Eagles Edge Chiefs 20-17 in Super Bowl Rematch on Rookie Pick and Tush Push

A rookie goal-line pick set up the decisive score in a defense-first rematch that leaves Kansas City 0-2.

Overview

  • Rookie safety Andrew Mukuba intercepted a pass that bounced off Travis Kelce at the goal line and returned it 41 yards, setting up Jalen Hurts’ sneak for a 20-10 lead.
  • Philadelphia converted multiple short-yardage sneaks, including a fourth-and-goal touchdown and a late first down after the two-minute warning to drain the clock.
  • Jake Elliott hit from 58 and 51 yards as the Eagles managed the game with field position and defense, overcoming the absence of tight end Dallas Goedert (knee).
  • Patrick Mahomes threw for 187 yards with a 49-yard late TD to Tyquan Thornton and ran for 66 yards with a 13-yard score, but the Chiefs failed on an onside kick.
  • Kansas City’s passing options were thin with Xavier Worthy out (shoulder) and Rashee Rice suspended six games; Worthy is reportedly tracking toward a Week 3 return.
