Eagles take over at their own 20 after a touchback
The Eagles’ offense piled up 179 yards in the first half, and will go to work, trying to add to a 24-0 lead. Jalen Hurts was good in the first half, but if the Eagles are going to stay ahead it would help to get the running game going. Philly averaged just 2.7 yards per rush in the first half, and Saquon Barkley didn’t get going, with just 31 yards on 12 carries.
Patrick Mahomes sacked for FIFTH time tonight
This time it’s Josh Sweat (again), and the Chiefs will punt again to open the second half.
Fifth sack by the Eagles!

Kendrick Lamar plays ‘Not Like Us,’ trolls Drake in halftime show with backup dancer Serena Williams
Kendrick Lamar didn’t pull any punches in New Orleans on Sunday night.
After hinting at it throughout the performance, Lamar brought out his Grammy award-winning song, “Not Like Us” during his incredible star-studded halftime performance at Super Bowl LIX. His performance, which came with SZA and backup dancer Serena Williams, seemingly ended his feud with Drake once again.
The entire crowd at the Caesars Superdome went off, too.
Read the full story here.
