Super Bowl 59 Recap: Eagles Soar, Chiefs Sputter

February 10, 2025 by nflinlondon

It was an incredible Super Bowl 59 for the NFC and Eagles fans, as they thoroughly humbled Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, and the coaching staff of KC.
It turns out that they can be beat in the post season, as Philly was all over them.
Let’s take a look at a recap of the big game.

Philadelphia’s Defensive Domination

The Philadelphia Eagles turned Super Bowl LIX into their own personal highlight reel, bulldozing the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 and making Patrick Mahomes look, well, mortal. The Eagles’ defensive line showed up like they were double-parked outside the stadium, racking up six sacks and applying relentless pressure on Mahomes, who was running for his life all night.

Josh Sweat led the way with 2.5 sacks, while Milton Williams and Jordan Davis contributed to the Mahomes mayhem. By the time the first half ended, Mahomes had already thrown two interceptions—one of which rookie Cooper DeJean returned 38 yards for a touchdown. The Chiefs must have wondered if they’d walked into the wrong stadium because this was looking less like a championship game and more like an Eagles-sponsored stress test.

The Mahomes Meltdown

Mahomes has been known to perform miracles on the field, but this time, he needed divine intervention. The Chiefs’ quarterback had one of the worst playoff performances of his career, finishing 21-of-32 for 257 yards, three touchdowns (two coming in garbage time), and two momentum-killing interceptions. Kansas City fans were left wondering if they had been transported back to Super Bowl LV, when Mahomes was similarly tormented by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

To be fair, it wasn’t entirely his fault—his offensive line provided less protection than a broken umbrella, and his receivers seemed to be playing a game of “Hot Potato” with the football. Travis Kelce, normally Mahomes’ go-to target, was practically invisible in the first half, managing just one yard alongside rookie Xavier Worthy.

Hurts Silences the Doubters

Jalen Hurts, on the other hand, played like a man on a mission. The Eagles’ quarterback shrugged off any remaining doubts about his ability to win the big one, earning Super Bowl MVP honors with a near-flawless performance. He completed 17-of-22 passes for 221 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception, while also leading the team in rushing with 72 yards and a touchdown.

Hurts became just the second quarterback in history to throw for 200 yards and rush for 70 yards in a Super Bowl—joining himself from Super Bowl LVII. Maybe now people will stop questioning whether he belongs in the elite QB conversation.

The Chiefs’ Secondary: A Horror Show

Kansas City’s rush defense deserved a standing ovation, bottling up Saquon Barkley and holding him to just 57 yards on 25 carries (a brutal 2.3 yards per attempt). Unfortunately for them, the secondary was about as sturdy as wet cardboard. Jaylen Watson got cooked on a 46-yard touchdown from Hurts to DeVonta Smith, and the Chiefs gave up five pass plays of 20+ yards. If Kansas City is serious about contending again next year, their offseason shopping list should start with “new defensive backs.”

Questionable Officiating: A Super Bowl Tradition

What’s a Super Bowl without a little referee controversy? The game started with two questionable penalties—one against Eagles receiver A.J. Brown on a phantom offensive pass interference, and another unnecessary roughness flag against Chiefs corner Trent McDuffie. While the calls didn’t impact the outcome, they certainly didn’t help Kansas City’s already uphill battle.

Looking Ahead: What’s Next?

The Chiefs’ bid for a three-peat is officially dead, but Mahomes and Andy Reid will be back for another run next season—though Travis Kelce’s future remains uncertain. As for the Eagles, they’ll have to replace offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who is reportedly heading to the Saints, but with a dominant defense and an elite quarterback, Philadelphia is set up for more success in the years to come.

Super Bowl 59 may not have given us a nail-biting finish, but it gave us plenty to talk about—mainly, how unstoppable the Eagles’ defense was and how much therapy Chiefs fans will need. Here’s to another wild NFL season ahead!

Sports Bar & Grill-Old Street

The SB&G Old Street is sadly sold out for the SuperBowl.

Thanks to everyone who has supported the pub all NFL season long, and a big thanks to all you fans who booked your tickets early.

It truly has been a magically location to show the NFL.

If you have booked for the evening, look forward to over 50 TVs of NFL action!

Words to the Wise

As promoters of the NFL and American Sports, we often encounter some less than honest players who are looking to take advantage of NFL fans.

Whether it’s venues who think showing partial games is satisfactory, claiming certain foods as ‘American’, or just in general being rude and racist to American football fans.
We have seen it all.

Please be aware, that there are many charlatans running Super Bowl nights, and we have had to make contingencies for many of these dodgy venues.

If the place doesn’t show sport or NFL normally, then they will probably screw up the event some how.

Some of the Super Bowl shit shows we have seen/heard over the years at dodgy venues in the UK include:

-failing to get a late license, then kicking people out and keeping their money.
-having 1 TV for 400 people
-booking a stripper before the big game
-uncooked chicken wings
-a coked out bar manager telling ‘all the Yanks to fuck off’
-putting on their own halftime show
-timer on the TV goes off-no one knows how to turn it off. End of game is missed.
-not having anything before the game planned-people sitting around from 7-11pm…doing nothing.

We can GUARANTEE none of that will happen at our parties. Book your seats now so that you don’t miss out!

Looking forward to seeing everyone for the SuperBowl on Sunday Feb 13th!

We will have game previews and predictions for you leading up to the big game!

Gameday Recipes

December 23, 2021 by nflinlondon

With the holidays hitting us, it’s time to look at how and where you are going to watch all the NFL games this season.

COVID has been a purple-nurple of pain to this whole NFL season, with loads of fans cancelling plans to meet up in public, and forcing punters to stay at home and connect with other fans digitally.

Obviously we would love to meet up with all of you every Sunday at the Sports Bar & Grill (Clapham & Old Street), but bearing that, we wanted to offer you some Gameday Recipes in case you were looking to host the game at yours.

NFL Menu

An NFL menu is essential to the legitimacy of any football party, which is why we comprised some great recipes we found online to help you in crafting your NFL menu.

Traditional football foods are always winners, with wings, burgers, nachos and hot dogs kicking the PAT on every attempt.

UK delivery options are very limited here, although we have found Wendy’s opening across Britain, which makes it a tasty treat for any NFL viewing party.

Chopped Cheese

A Chopped Cheese sandwich is pretty much a Philly Cheesesteak, for anyone who hasn’t had one.

Traditionally served on a ‘hero roll’, these yummy, steaky, cheesy sandwiches are so addictive, you will probably get real fat, real quick.

In this video, our punctured millennials offer their versions of how to make this east coast classic.

While the hosts might be a tad annoying, this sandwich looks absolutely delish!

Skyline Chili Dip

If you have ever visited Cincinnati, you might have had the chance to try something that they call a ‘Skyline Chili Dip’.
Essentially it’s just a buttload of cheese, chili and what can only be described as a hint of awesome in it.

A very easy and simple recipe to make, this Ohio couple shares their best recipe.

Practice makes perfect before your next Super Bowl party.

Chicken Enchiladas

Enchilada. Sounds like a made up word, but as Thor said ‘all words are made up.’

Chicken Enchilada’s are a lovely Mexican treat that warms up any football party.

Easy to make, and perfect to prepare ahead of time, this recipe will bowl over any of your friends and family who might pop over to watch the games.

The only problem with this recipe, is being able to make enough for everyone!

Buffalo Chicken Meatballs

Even the name sounds mouth-watering and delicious.

Taking the traditional classics of meatballs and buffalo spiciness, this winning combo is sure to be the big hit at any NFL party.

Lots of your friends might like varying levels of spice, so it’s a good idea to make a variety of balls from ‘mild’ to ‘shitting yourself hot.’

French Dip

The French Connection is a Christmas movie, and we will fight anyone who dares say different.

Holiday violence aside, the French Dip is a classic American sandwich despite the name that might suggest otherwise.

These sandwiches are easy to prep, and can be made ahead of time so that you can pop and lock them up in time for kick off.

In this video our private chef ‘bro’ breaks down his simple recipe on this olde time classic.

Gordon’s Wings

Chicken wings are the NFL main stay for any great party.

And when you think of great wings, you gotta think of Gordon Ramsay! Huh?

When Gordon’s not busy calling people a donkey or the C-word, he’s busy cooking…or attaching his name to ridiculous products.

Gordon Ramsay does his take on the classic chicken wings recipe. And while we probably wouldn’t EVER serve these at a Super Bowl party (maybe a Pro Bowl Party), it’s Gordon Fucking Ramsay, and this is the best Catalina Wine Mixer ever.

Donkey.

Those are just some of our Gameday Recipes for this holiday season.

Make sure that you join us every Sunday at the Sports Bar & Grill in Old Street or Clapham.

See ya Sunday!

SB55 Review

February 13, 2021 by nflinlondon

The game is done and dusted, the Bucs are the new SuperBowl champions, and we have another 6 months until we see the NFL again. Sigh. It’s time for our SB55 Review!

General consensus amongst fans is that this one of the better SuperBowl’s, but those fans tend to be Chiefs or AFC fans, while another large chunk of the population thinks is was a damn fine game indeed. There was action, excitement, and we got to see Tom Brady add another jewel to his hand of seven victories. Love him or hate him, the GOAT gap keeps widening.

Let’s take a look at the big key takeaways from SuperBowl 55 to define the big moments of the final game of the season.

Defense

D wins the big games, and the Bucs sure as hell brought theirs for SuperBowl 55. Patrick Mahomes not only didn’t record a TD, but he ran for over 400 yards in escape from the relentless attack.
The saying is that defences win SuperBowl’s and that sure was the case on February 7th.
Kansas City just didn’t have a response from their offence, and the injuries up front were not only apparent, but easily exposed.
Tampa might not have had the best overall D for the NFL season, but that doesn’t matter.
They had the best one in the big game.

Tom Brady

Tb12 is Super cool. He’s been here 10 times in the past, and his unflappable appearance in the game was the steadying rock to glide the Bucs down the ice. Brady never hit his 300 yard mark, but it didn’t really factor given that he had a solid running game to rely on.
He spread the ball around to his faves, as if he was rewarding them with post season bonuses on every pass.
Everybody got paid, and Tommy was the banker.
Perhaps the best Tom Brady pass was with the Lombardi trophy when he drunk-tossed it to Cameron Brate off a boat.
Drunk Brady might be the best Brady of all.

Gronk

If you bet on Gronk to score in the SuperBowl, congrats-you made a smart call. Rob has scored in 3 previous SuperBowl’s, and it was only logical that Tom would find a slant route of open field to hit Gronk for big gains. One TD was expected, but 2 was just the icing on that big Gronk cake.
Like Brady, Gronk really showed a different flair in the big game thanks to the more relaxed Buccaneers attitude. Patriots wins felt stuffy and corporate, but this victory was sweet.
Gronk will be back.

Mahomes

Patrick Mahomes is a hell of an athlete, a smart young man, and a guy with a huge future. Sure, he got bottled in the big one, but that was the point.
If you choke Kermit, then there’s no Muppet Show.
Gonzo, Scooter, Fozzie and Miss Piggy were all flumuxed once Mahomes couldn’t get a ball off.
He surely tried with some spectacular efforts, but all was nought when it came to the pirate invasion that continued to break through the lines.
Mahomes and the Chiefs will be back here again soon, they are the team to fear.

Britt Reid

Always somber when touching on accidents involving children, but this incident had a big effect on the game. When the coaches troubled son D&D plows into a family, that kind of trauma hits the family of the team. Teams feed off emotions during a SuperBowl, and having one of your family do something so stupid and selfish before an important occasion is something that the whole family hurts with.
Yes it can be shaken off, but it lingers because players feel for the coach and they don’t want him to hurt.
That’s what loses focus in a big game, especially on a young team.

Hail to the Chiefs!

February 5, 2020 by nflinlondon

They bloody well went & did it, didn’t they? The Chiefs are the 2019-2020 SuperBowl Champions in a wild game that ended out a decade of Patriots domination.
Patrick Mahomes was a beast, spear-heading a Chiefs comeback of 3 touchdowns in 3 minutes to stymie the 49ers and win the big cup.
So what were the big factors that led to this victory?

Patrick Mahomes

This kid is the real deal. Patience under pressure, pocket poise, and a great field of vision to spread the ball to his top receivers. Let’s not forget those wheels too.
Mahomes was a true leader when his team needed it.
He led the charge and was able to take Andy Reid’s walrus voice in his ear to stab San Francisco relentlessly in the last savage minutes of the game.
He had a couple of INTs that were BAD, but he was able to salvage them, and rely on his defense to defuse any comeback attempts of the 49ers.
It’s hard to say if this is the beginning of a dynasty, or whether he will one-off this like Russell Wilson or Cam, but this team looks good to repeat next season as returning champs .

Chiefs Defense

They were lamented numerous times prior to the match, but shut up all of their critics with a savage attack on the 49ers. They looked like they played their guts on on every play, and fought tough for any down that the 49ers went for. Where they really shined was in that final 3 minutes, bashing the run, choking off Jimmy and holding tight when the game was on the line.
They picked off Jimmy G several times, and made them earn every hard down.
Credit to them for keeping it a 10 point game, as there were a few chances that they might have gone down even further.
Well fought chaps.

Andy Reid

‘Ugly Kid’ Shanahan was ready to rap-battle his way through this hizzle, but Andy stayed firm like a beached walrus to keep the game in check.
He called smart plays, and relied on the wits of Mahomes to improvise when he needed to.
Andy must have a real zen about him, because all of his guys stayed calm, cool and collected during the whole game.
Reid finally brought in the bowl to the fine folks of Kansas City after a 50 year drought, and it was  a noble effort for all of those involved.

The Refs

It was a relatively painless ref game despite a season of controversy and contention.
Aside from a blatant pass interference call against the 49ers in the fourth quarter that allowed the Chiefs to score, there weren’t too many blind calls or needless delays.
That PI penalty was bogus, and some might say that it capitulated San Francisco after that, but losers will always whine.
There will need to be some serious internal talks with the league and officials next year, to get over the technical hiccups from the 2019 season, but this was a clean game all in all.

The NFL

Another flawless and exciting SuperBowl from the NFL and hats off to them. Despite the talk of saggy ratings, the NFL put on a powerhouse fiesta of fun and NFL action.
Sure, it would have been nicer to have Tony Romo in the box instead of Troy, but no one really listens to them any way.
The only real blight was the halftime show. Like what the heck was that about?
Why focus on some ageing singer/models who haven’t been relevant in decades, when there are loads of great an exciting acts on the musical landscape.
They could have taken the chance to showcase 30 new artists who could use the fame, tap into influencers or even gone back to the standard ‘Up with People’.
Whatever happened to them.

We had a great night at the Long Acre, and will have loads of news for you in the off season. We are poised for a bigger, better 2020, so join us in the fun.
