Super Bowl 2025 went underway on Sunday (US timing) and at 5 am on Monday at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana. Eagles vs Chiefs Super Bowl LIX game happens to be a rematch of two years ago, when the Chiefs went on to edge the Eagles 38-35 in Glendale, Arizona. Meanwhile, Kansas City beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime in Las Vegas last year. No team has won three straight Super Bowls until now. It was Chiefs who won the coin toss but Eagles were the first to score a touchdown and that too from 28 yards.
It was Jahan Dotson who caught the ball thrown from 28 yards away. However, an anti-climax emerged when the touchdown was not given. Dotson was about a yard from the end zone. As a result, Eagles were given the one-yard line position. Ultimately, Eagles' Jalen Hurts sealed the first touchdown for the team.
Super Bowl 2025 Security
As per the Guardian, the Department of Homeland Security has classified the Super Bowl 2025 as a 'special event assessment rating level 1 event', its highest grade of public safety risk. Federal and local agencies aren’t taking any chances after the New Year’s attack on Bourbon Street, flooding the zone to protect an estimated 73,000 attendees including the United States President for the first time in Super Bowl history. Law enforcement has increased its presence and patrols around the stadium, and a video surveillance system equipped with AI is being relayed to monitor crowd behavior in real-time.
