Eagles-Chiefs make history in Super Bowl LVII
Super Bowl LVII is underway and the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs have already made history.
With the game knotted 7-7 with the Eagles and Chiefs both scoring a touchdown on their opening drives, they became the first team in the Super Bowl since Super Bowl XXXII between the Packers and Broncos in which both teams scored a TD on their opening drive.
It all began with Jalen Hurts who elected to go with the old-fashioned quarterback sneak to get into the end zone on first and goal and Jake Elliotts extra point, which instantly gave the Birds a seven-point lead.
But Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs were not going to be denied on their opening drive as Mahomes threw a playoff touchdown pass to Travis Kelce to even things up in the first quarter.
The Chiefs TD is the 14th from Mahomes to Kelce in the postseason, which is second only to the 15 between Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski.
The Eagles found themselves up 14-7 after Hurts found A.J. Brown for a 45-yard touchdown strike right at the start of the second quarter. But with a Hurts fumble and a Kansas City scoop and score, the game is all tied up at 14.
