The Philadelphia Eagles scored an epic victory against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday night, giving us several epic moments. Some of them will go down in history books, and here are five historic firsts and broken records from the latest edition of the Big Game.
First Solo Hip-Hop Headliner
Kendrick Lamar was in charge of headlining the Super Bowl LIX halftime show, and he made history as the first solo hip-hop artist to be entrusted with this huge honor.
First Sitting President
President Donald Trump was one of the many notable figures in attendance, and he made history as the first sitting president to ever attend the Super Bowl.
Failed “Three-Peat” Bid
The Kansas City Chiefs were on a quest to make history on Sunday night, but they quite literally dropped the ball, losing 40-22. By doing so, they failed to achieve the first Super Bowl three-peat and become the first NFL team to win three Super Bowls in a row.
Most Fumbles for Patrick Mahomes
It didn’t help the Chiefs’ case that their star player Patrick Mahomes wasn’t on top of his game. He set quite an embarrassing record for most career fumbles after being sacked six times by the Eagles’ defense.
Jalen Hurt’s Rushing Touchdowns
Philly’s quarterback Jalen Hurt had the time of his life and won the Super Bowl MVP title after breaking his own record for rushing yards by a quarterback in a Super Bowl game with 72.
