The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the reigning champion Kansas City Chiefs in the first half of Super Bowl LIX, cruising to a 24-0 lead thanks in large part to a suffocating defensive performance. Three-time champion Patrick Mahomes managed to net Kansas City just 23 yards in the first two quarters,

Not only did star quarterback Patrick Mahomes leave the first half throwing two interceptions while completing just five of 11 attempts, but tight end Travis Kelce didn't catch a single pass. He was thrown at just two times.

The Eagles carried the weight of a late second Super Bowl loss for two years and took out months of frustration on the Chiefs in the first half. With Vic Fangio calling the defense, Kansas City had one first down in the first half, went 0-6 on third downs, and had 23 total yards in a first half dominated by the Eagles.
