  The second half began with an Eagles kickoff, which resulted in a touchback. Despite gaining a first down with a pass to Xavier Worthy, Mahomes was sacked twice in the next two plays and the Chiefs' drive stalled at their own 37. The Eagles responded by driving down the field 69 yards, including a 16-yard and 14-yard run by Hurts, which ended with a 29-yard field goal from Jake Elliott.
  
  The Chiefs' next drive took them five plays and 17 yards to their own 47-yard line. Facing a fourth down, a pass from Mahomes to DeAndre Hopkins fell incomplete after it was batted away by Avonte Maddox, resulting in a turnover on downs. On the next play, Hurts threw a 46-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith, increasing the Eagles' score to 34. This play was nicknamed " The Dagger " by many Eagles players, coaches, and fans due to it's significance in putting the game seemingly out of reach for Kansas City. The Chiefs responded with a 24-yard touchdown pass from Mahomes to Worthy at the end of the third quarter, their first score of the game, but failed a two-point conversion attempt from Mahomes to tight end Travis Kelce.
  
  In the fourth quarter, after a 48-yard field goal from Elliott, Mahomes fumbled the ball on a strip sack by Milton Williams, which was recovered by Williams himself at the Chiefs' 18-yard line. Although an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty was called on Williams, Elliott converted a 50-yard field goal attempt, making the score 40–6. On the next drive, Mahomes threw a 7-yard pass to DeAndre Hopkins for a touchdown; the corresponding 2-point conversion from Mahomes to Justin Watson was successful. The Eagles proceeded to bench their starters and allowed their backups to play and take snaps in the final minutes of the game, and after the Eagles turned the ball over on downs, Mahomes responded with a 50-yard touchdown pass to Worthy and another successful 2-point conversion with a pass to Hopkins, cutting the Chiefs' deficit to 18 points for a 40–22 score. A subsequent onside kick was recovered by the Eagles, who ran out the clock.
