Kansas City Edges Philadelphia On Mahomes TD Pass With 0:15 Left In Strat-O-Matic Simulation

GLEN HEAD, N.Y. - Feb. 7, 2025 - PRLog -- Patrick Mahomes completed a seven-yard touchdown pass to Marquise Brown for the game-winning score with 0:15 left as Kansas City earned its third straight title, a 30-27 verdict over Philadelphia in a simulation of this Sunday's season-ending football contest by Strat-O-Matic (@StratOMatic), the market leader in sports simulations. The championship is the third straight for Kansas City, the first-ever "three-peat" since the league merger and the first team to win three consecutive circuit crowns since the 1966-68 Green Bay teams.

In the simulation, the Eagles took a 24-23 lead early in the fourth on a nine-yard pass from Jalen Hurts to Dallas Goedert, then extended to a 27-23 advantage on a 41-yard field goal by Jake Elliott with 8:22 left. After an exchange of punts, the Chiefs took over on their own 20 with 4:43 remaining, moving methodically down the field. Mahomes converted two third-and-threes with short passes to Samaje Perine and Noah Gray to keep the drive alive, the latter coming with 0:48 left, moving the ball to the Philadelphia 14. After getting half that distance on a look-in pass to Xavier Worthy with 0:30 left, Hurts connected with Marquise Brown in the end zone for the winning score.

Mahomes earned Game MVP by completing 29 of 44 passes for 344 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. His counterpart Hurts was up to the task, finishing with 16 of 27 for 216 yards, two scores and no INTs. The Chiefs did well to contain Saquon Barkley to 87 yards on 20 carries and a TD, while Goedert had the two TD catches among his three grabs for 48 yards.

Harrison Butker's 22-yard field goal with 5:47 left in the third had given Kansas City the largest lead by either team, 23-14, before an Elliott field goal and Goedert's second TD put Philadelphia ahead in the see-saw battle that saw five lead changes in all.

Philadelphia 7 7 3 10 > 27
Kansas City 10 10 3 7 > 30
