Chiefs vs. Eagles predictions and live updates: Super Bowl 2025 start time, latest news and odds

Follow coverage of Super Bowl LIX at the Superdome in New Orleans as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles
Even after losing Jalen Hurts to a concussion in the first quarter, the Eagles entered the fourth with a 27-14 lead on the precipice of clinching the NFC East against the Washington Commanders. Saquon Barkley and the Eagles’ defense, which forced five turnovers, stepped up to help out backup quarterback Kenny Pickett as he took the reins in Hurts’ place.

But Jayden Daniels and the Commanders offense roared to life in the fourth quarter, storming back to take a 28-27 lead and then, after Pickett led a touchdown drive in response, a game-winning drive resulted in a Daniels touchdown pass with 10 seconds remaining. Commanders 36, Eagles 33, ending Philadelphia’s 10-game win streak.
Week 15: Pass game roars to life against Pittsburgh

After three weeks of a relatively stagnant Eagles passing game, A.J. Brown was not happy, and said as much after the narrow win over the Panthers. That prompted speculation over the relationship between Brown and Jalen Hurts — which was promptly shut down against the stingy Steelers defense.

Hurts had 270 passing yards and two touchdowns, and 110 of those yards and one of those touchdowns went to Brown. The Eagles prevailed against another playoff contender — on a day where Barkley had only 65 rushing yards — and overcame another bout of off-field drama in the process.
Week 14: Eagles survive scare vs. Panthers

The Eagles hit a bit of a bump in the road against the struggling Panthers. Philadelphia won, 22-16, and clinched a playoff spot, but only after a late fourth-down pass from Bryce Young to Xavier Legette fell incomplete in the end zone.

Although Saquon Barkley broke LeSean McCoy’s single-season Eagles rushing record in the win, Philadelphia struggled in both the passing game and kicking game amid off days from Jalen Hurts and Jake Elliott, respectively.
Week 13: Eagles ride defense, Ravens mistakes to big win

A inter-conference battle of heavyweights resulted in a 24-19 Eagles win thanks to some crucial missed kicks from the Ravens’ Justin Tucker as well as one of Philadelphia’s best defensive performances of the season against the two-headed monster of Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry in Baltimore. It extended Philadelphia’s win streak to eight games — and more than two months.
Week 12: Saquon’s Hollywood moment

This game probably did as much as any other to launch Saquon Barkley into NFL MVP finalist territory.

Barkley rushed for 255 yards, a new career high and Eagles franchise record, and accounted for three total touchdowns in a “Sunday Night Football” romp over the Rams in Southern California.

Not only did Barkley help his own status, but the win also helped vault the Eagles alongside the Detroit Lions in the top tier of the NFC.
Week 11: Eagles take control of NFC East on ‘TNF’

In an inverse of the previous week’s Eagles-Cowboys matchup, the Washington Commanders’ trip to Philadelphia on “Thursday Night Football” took on extra significance thanks to the visitors’ 7-3 start to the season behind standout rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels.

That matchup lived up to the hype, but the Eagles rallied late and hung on for a 26-18 win to take firm control of first place the NFC East. They would never relinquish it.
Week 9: The Saquon hurdle game

There were plenty of storylines to come from this one — the Eagles barely hanging on to avoid blowing a 22-0 lead against a lackluster Jaguars team in Super Bowl-winning coach Doug Pederson’s return to Philadelphia, the continued breakout of linebacker Nakobe Dean, another concerning injury to A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts’ ability to overcome it.

But all of those paled in comparison to what Saquon Barkley did in the second quarter.

This will forever be known as the “hurdle game.”
Week 6: Eagles beat Browns, but Sirianni steals headlines

The Eagles hardly seemed refreshed coming out of their bye week. Sure, they beat the struggling Browns at home, but only by a 20-16 score, and the dominant storyline coming out of that game was Nick Sirianni getting into a heated verbal exchange with some of the Eagles’ own fans behind the team’s bench.

The Eagles coach initially refused to apologize at his postgame press conference — where he brought his three young children to the podium with him — before eventually doing so.
Week 4: Eagles throttled in Tampa Bay

It’s pretty easy to determine the nadir of the 2024 Eagles season. It’s when Philadelphia got blown out by Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers in Tampa Bay, thanks in large part to several self-inflicted wounds by the Eagles.

Sure, Philadelphia’s offense was now missing DeVonta Smith and Lane Johnson due to injuries in addition to A.J. Brown. But Jalen Hurts admitted, “I have to play better” after an unconvincing performance in a 33-16 rout that the Buccaneers controlled throughout.
Week 3: Eagles win unconvincingly again

At this point, the Eagles still looked like a far cry from a team that would return to New Orleans in February to play for a Super Bowl.

Yes, they beat the Saints 15-12 behind some late heroics from Saquon Barkley, but even head coach Nick Sirianni admitted after the game that the Eagles’ current play was “not sustainable.”
Week 2: Eagles collapse late vs. Falcons

Philadelphia’s defense struggled in the pass rush and against the run, allowing a game-winning drive from Atlanta quarterback Kirk Cousins in the final minute of the Eagles’ home opener on “Monday Night Football” for a 22-21 loss.

The Eagles’ offense was again a mixed bag, though Jalen Hurts was missing No. 1 wide receiver A.J. Brown due to a hamstring injury. Philadelphia dropped to 1-1 with the loss.
Week 1: Barkley has 3 TDs, Eagles win ‘sloppy’

New addition Saquon Barkley proved worth the hype, as he would all season. The star running back accounted for three total touchdowns in his first game as an Eagle.

But Philadelphia’s overall performance in a 34-29 win over the Packers in Sao Paulo, Brazil was “sloppy,” as wide receiver DeVonta Smith put it.
