Chiefs’ pass protection plan became a nightmare in Super Bowl LIX

In Super Bowl LIX, the Philadelphia Eagles registered a 40-22 blowout of the Kansas City Chiefs by dominating the line of scrimmage throughout the game. Kansas City didn’t score until it was trailing 34-0 in the third quarter.

Taking advantage of the Chiefs’ lackluster offensive line play (and the team’s refusal to run the ball), the Eagles defensive line had a day to remember, hitting quarterback Patrick Mahomes early and often. Philadelphia finished the contest with six sacks, 11 hits and 17 pressures.

All of this rattled Mahomes — and as a result, his timing was off throughout the night.
