Has there ever been a shutout in the Super Bowl? Exploring history as Eagles deny Chiefs’ 3-peat dream in Super Bowl LIX

In Super Bowl LIX, the Philadelphia Eagles dismantled the Kansas City Chiefs with a decisive 40-22 victory, preventing the Chiefs from achieving an unprecedented third consecutive championship. The Eagles' defense dominated, sacking quarterback Patrick Mahomes six times and forcing two interceptions. Offensively, quarterback Jalen Hurts delivered a stellar performance, contributing both through the air and on the ground. This outcome not only secured the Eagles' second Super Bowl title but also served as retribution for their previous loss to the Chiefs two years prior.
No, a team has never been shut out in Super Bowl history. The lowest score recorded by a team is three points. This happened twice:
The Eagles crushed the Chiefs with a relentless defense and sharp offensive plays. By halftime, Philadelphia led 24-0, and the game was all but decided. Patrick Mahomes had two interceptions, including a pick-six by rookie Cooper DeJean. The Chiefs’ offense gained only 29 yards and a single first down before the break.
Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith extended the lead to 34-0 with a third-quarter touchdown. The Eagles maintained control throughout, turning a highly anticipated matchup into a lopsided victory.
Several Super Bowls have ended in blowouts, with the winning teams outscoring their opponents by large margins. Here are some of the most one-sided results:
The New England Patriots hold the record for the largest comeback. In Super Bowl LI (2017), they overcame a 25-point deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons 34-28 in overtime. Atlanta led 28-3 late in the third quarter, but Tom Brady rallied New England to score 31 unanswered points and claim the win.
Other notable Super Bowl comebacks include:
The Chiefs entered Super Bowl LIX aiming to win their third consecutive title. Instead, they suffered a humiliating defeat at the hands of the Eagles, who exposed every flaw in Kansas City’s game plan.
Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid’s undefeated reputation in big games took a major hit. The Eagles' defense smothered Mahomes, holding the Chiefs scoreless through the first half. Despite the Chiefs' prior dominance, this crushing loss has raised serious questions about their ability to sustain a dynasty.
