That’s the bad news. Here’s the good news: This is familiar Super Bowl territory for the AFC champions.In each of their three Super Bowl wins of the Andy Reid-Patrick Mahomes era, the Chiefs trailed by exactly 10 points before rallying.They trailed San Francisco by 10 before winning 31-20 on Feb. 2, 2020. They trailed Philadelphia by 10 before winning 38-35 on Feb. 12, 2023. And they trailed San Francisco by 10 again before winning 25-22 on Feb. 11, 2024.There have been only seven rallies from double-digit deficits in Super Bowl history. The Chiefs have three of them. (There’s been only one from more than 10 points down, that being New England erasing a 28-3 deficit to stun the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 on Feb. 5, 2017.)SCORE UPDATE: Eagles 10, Chiefs 0A 48-yard field goal from Eagles kicker Jake Elliott has put Philadelphia up 10-0 with 8:38 left in the second quarter.Chiefs offense gets off to slow start in Super BowlThree drives and three punts for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.That’s only happened three other times with Mahomes as a starter, including a loss to New England in the 2018 AFC title game. Kansas City also did it in a loss to the Raiders on Christmas in 2023 and a Week 2 win over the Chargers in 2020.Kansas City has tended to start slowly on offense in Super Bowls with the Chiefs scoring only 33 first-half points compared to 70 after halftime in four Super Bowl appearances. Chiefs get a turnover, stay within 7-0Bryan Cook has saved Kansas City from getting into a deeper hole.He intercepted a pass from Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts inside the Chiefs’ 5, giving Kansas City the ball back early in the second quarter. The Chiefs trail 7-0.END OF FIRST QUARTER: Eagles 7, Chiefs 0Jalen Hurts completed six of seven passes for 75 yards, plus ran for the only touchdown and Philadelphia leads Kansas City 7-0 after the first quarter.The Eagles face 2nd-and-14 from the Chiefs 34 when the second quarter begins.SCORE UPDATE: Eagles 7, Chiefs 0The extra point is good and Philadelphia leads 7-0 with 6:15 left in the first quarter.That 1-yard rush by Hurts made him the fifth player with four Super Bowl rushing touchdowns in a career. Emmitt Smith has the most, with five. Thurman Thomas, Franco Harris, John Elway and now Hurts all have four.TOUCHDOWN: Hurts opens the scoring at Super BowlPhiladelphia has struck first in the Super Bowl, with Jalen Hurts — thanks to the Eagles’ famed tush push, where the offensive line just bullies their way into the end zone and Hurts follows the crowd — scoring the game’s first touchdown.Now it’s the Chiefs fans complaining about the officialsKansas City appeared to get a third-down stop against Philadelphia, but Trent McDuffie was called for a personal foul for making contact with Dallas Goedert’s face mask.Tom Brady didn’t like this call, either.The first big penalty of the game went in Kansas City’s favor.The Eagles were going for it on fourth-and-2 from midfield and appeared to convert a 30-yard completion. But a flag came out for Brown putting his hand on cornerback Trent McDuffie’s face, leading to the questionable penalty.A big topic heading into the game was perceived bias for officials in favor of the Chiefs. Commissioner Roger Goodell called it “ridiculous” but those complaints will only grow louder after that first penalty.Chiefs defer, 15th straight Super Bowl to open that wayFor the 15th straight Super Bowl, the team that won the opening coin toss of a Super Bowl chose to defer.Kansas City won the toss and gave Philadelphia the option to start with the ball. The Chiefs will get the ball to begin the second half.The only team to choose to start a Super Bowl with the ball after winning the opening toss since the defer option was initiated in the 2008 season was the Saints in Super Bowl 44 against Indianapolis.The coin toss winner: Tails. (Sorry, Eagles fans.)Travis Kelce called tails. It never fails, as they say.The Chiefs won the coin toss, in a bad omen for the Eagles.In Philly’s past Super Bowl appearances, when the coin toss result was tails, they lost.
