Kansas City went three and out on their next drive, Philly got the ball back and marched down the field for a touchdown to go up 7-0.

The score was now 17-0, and the Chiefs desperately needed to score on their next drive, and as expected, they punted yet again. This may have been the fatal blow for Kansas City, the Eagles quickly scored another touchdown, and they led 24-0 at halftime.
Kansas City now had their chance to make a dent in the Eagles lead, with the Chiefs getting the ball first after the half, they punted for the fifth time in the game. The Eagles got a field goal, and led 27-0, but the nail in the coffin came after a failed fourth-down conversion for the Chiefs, and Jalen Hurts threw a 47 yard touchdown to AJ Brown, giving the Eagles a 34-0 lead with 2:42 left in the third quarter. The Chiefs were finally able to muster up a touchdown, but were unable to convert a two-point conversion. The Eagles got a field goal with their next drive, and Patrick Mahomes fumbled, setting the Eagles up with good field position, which then converted another field goal, the score was now 40-6.
