If there were any questions about how Hurts would handle the pressures of a Super Bowl, the youngster answered them right away.
On a fantastic 75-yard first drive, the quarterback, with amazing poise, found clear receiver DeVonta Smith and was able to intersperse him with Philadelphia’s running game.
Hurts capped off his outstanding performance by drawing the first touchdown for the Eagles (7-0).
The Chiefs charged no fees for the hit.
Mahomes, recovered from his ankle problems – he signed an 8-yard carry on his first drive – tied with his partner of choice, Travis Kelce, from the start.
Latino runner Isiah Pacheco also appeared, but the tie came with the Chiefs’ house specialty: a pass from Mahomes and a reception from Kelce (7-7).
Though the defense was slow to recover, this lively first quarter provided one last surprise as the Chiefs’ Harrison Butker hit the post with a 42-yard field goal.
The strong emotions continued into the second period.
With Philadelphia 45 yards from the end zone, Hurts pulled out a very long pass that was caught, practically out of the blue, by AJ Brown to seal a spectacular touchdown (14-7).
Hurts drew magic with that pass, but five minutes later he was the main foul due to a serious foul.
