Here are some of the other predictions for the big game.
- MVP: Eagles QB Jalen Hurts
- Early Game Dynamics: The Eagles started strong with Saquon Barkley to score the first touchdown. The Chiefs responded with a touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes to Travis Kelce, but an interception by CJ Gardner-Johnson helped keep the game close.
- Second Half Turnaround: After the Chiefs led 14-10 at halftime, the Eagles took the lead in the third quarter on a touchdown pass from Hurts to A.J. Brown. A crucial defensive stand by the Eagles’ line, particularly Jalen Carter, prevented the Chiefs from scoring on a fourth-down attempt.
- Clutch Moments: In the fourth quarter, Mahomes led a drive for a Chiefs touchdown, but the Eagles answered back with a field goal to regain the lead. The game came down to the wire with the Chiefs’ final drive ending in a missed field goal, sealing the Eagles’ victory.
For the first time, Madden NFL fans had the opportunity to weigh in on the game’s outcome, with the majority backing the Chiefs to win 30-27. EA successfully predicted last year’s winner after three straight misses.
