Just last week, the Philadelphia Eagles had a historic triumph against the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl 2025. With over 126 million viewers, the game marked the highest-ever recorded viewership for a Super Bowl. Despite the one-sided game favoring the Philadelphia Eagles, the event still attracted record-breaking numbers. 

The final score read 40-22 for the Eagles, unfortunately denying the Kansas City Chiefs of a famed three-peat. There were mixed responses to the final results, with many expressing disbelief in the crushing nature of the loss.

“The amount of people watching this particular game was surprising,” Jihoo Kim (11), frequent American Football viewer, said. “Unlike other Superbowl games in the past, this particular match was not as hyped or publicized. For it to break an all-time record like this is quite unexpected, to say the least.”

Apart from the security concerns during Kendrick Lamar’s performance on-stage performance, the Eagles vs. Chiefs game marked a major success for the American football industry and served as a testament to the Superbowl’s ability to successfully host a game of such a scale.
