Jordan Mailata Becomes First Australian to Win a Super Bowl

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22, with Mailata playing a pivotal role in the historic victory.

Jordan Mailata, a Bankstown-born former rugby league player, made history as the first Australian to play in and win a Super Bowl.
The Philadelphia Eagles upset the Kansas City Chiefs, denying them a chance to secure a historic third consecutive Super Bowl victory.
Mailata's performance as an offensive tackle was instrumental, particularly in the Eagles' signature 'tush push' play that led to their first touchdown.
The Eagles dominated the game, leading 24-0 at halftime, with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes being sacked six times in a rare underwhelming performance.
Mailata's journey from a Sydney Rabbitohs rugby league prospect to an NFL star highlights his remarkable rise, culminating in a $66 million contract extension through 2028.
