Patrick Mahomes-Jalen Hurts still at center of Super Bowl rematch
NY Post
The numbers, on paper, were prolific. The highlight-reel plays and efficient drives strung together — over and over again.
The first Super Bowl between Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts, back in February 2023, contained a combined 484 passing yards, 114 rushing yards, seven total touchdowns and zero interceptions. It quickly turned into a thriller.
And after the Chiefs and Eagles both won their conference championships Sunday, Super Bowl LIX will revolve around another Mahomes-Hurts duel on Feb. 9.
By the time they collided two years ago, the foundation for the Chiefs dynasty — three Super Bowl appearances in four years — had already been constructed, with their generational quarterback already possessing a Hall of Fame résumé.
Mahomes even aggravated an ankle injury in the second quarter and operated with a noticeable limp, but it didn’t prevent him from taking home the game’s MVP honor.
The Eagles had positioned themselves for a multiyear run behind a young quarterback who’d ink a $255 million extension two months later.
