Super Bowl 57
In Super Bowl 57 between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs, both teams came back from 8+ point deficits in the second half (the first time that has ever happened in the Super Bowl) before the Kansas Chiefs prevailed with a game-winning field goal with eight seconds left. (In Super Bowl 46, the Patriots overcame a nine-point deficit and the Giants overcame an eight-point deficit. However, the Patriots' comeback came in the first half.)
The Chiefs trailed 24-14 at halftime, but then went on a 21-3 run to take a 35-27 lead. The Eagles responded with a touchdown (and a two-point conversion) to tie the game 35-35 with 5 minutes and 15 seconds left. The Chiefs then retook the lead with the aforementioned field goal.
It was only the fourth Super Bowl ever that was tied with exactly five minutes left on the clock. (The other three Super Bowls were Super Bowl 5, Super Bowl 22 and Super Bowl 32 (which I will discuss later).) There were four more Super Bowls (34, 36, 38, 51) since Super Bowl 32 that were tied at some point inside of five minutes.
The heartbreak continued for Philadelphia sports fans as they suffered their third championship loss in less than a year. There is one fan base that benefited from these losses: the A's still have complete bragging rights in one city. If the Eagles had won Super Bowl 57, the Eagles would have tied the A's for the most championships in Philadelphia with five. The A's only have partial bragging rights in Oakland: they are tied with the Warriors for the most championships in Oakland with four.
The Chiefs won despite the fact that Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts scored three touchdowns. It was the first time that a player scored three touchdowns in a Super Bowl losing effort. It was also only the third time in Super Bowl history that a non-49er scored three touchdowns. The other two times were
Super Bowl 51 (James White) and Super Bowl 32, where Terrell Davis scored three touchdowns for the Denver Broncos against the Green Bay Packers. The final Davis touchdown was gift-wrapped by Packers coach Mike Holmgren (a former 49ers assistant). Eagles coach Nick Sirianni tried to pull a similar stunt in Super Bowl 57, but Chiefs running back Jerick McKinnon wisely didn't bite.
