What a whirlwind game to cap off the NFL season!
Philadelphia begin their celebrations with the Lombardi Trophy, while the Chiefs are left to rue their worst performance in many years.
A massive day for Australia, who now have a Super Bowl champion in Jordan Mailata.
Thanks for joining us in the blog - we'll see you next year.
'Think about the kids'
The enormity of Jordan Mailata's achievement isn't lost on the broadcast team.
"Think about all the kids back in Australia," Dan Orlovsky said on ESPN.
"Now, you might not be gifted with the God-given ability to be six [foot], nine [inches], 350 pounds and move like that.
"But for a guy to come from that area, come over here and have the career that he has, it does give hope to a young kid that maybe says, 'I want to be the next Jordan Mailata'."

"Only the people closest to these players know what it means," Chris Fowler said.
Mailata shares some hugs and kisses as the broadcast team sign off.
"That's an unbelievable moment that will never go away," Orlovsky added.

No surprises there - a complete performance from the Philadelphia quarterback.
"I couldn't be here without my teammates," Hurts said.

'Way more lopsided than stats'
While the final margin was just 18 points, this was an absolutely dominant performance from the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kansas City were blown off the park for the majority of the contest.
"It was way more lopsided than those stats look," Dan Orlovsky said on ESPN.
Victory formation
The best play in football - victory formation!
Back-up quarterback Kenny Pickett takes a knee and the Eagles are champions!
Too little, too late
Mahomes throws an absolute peach down the field to Worthy for another touchdown.
Unfortunately for the Chiefs - and in the immortal words of JoJo - it's too little, too late.
Gatorade shower
It's time for a Gatorade shower for coach Nick Sirianni as some of the Eagles players get the celebrations started before full-time.
After missing out on the Lombardi Trophy two years ago, Sirianni makes no mistake with his second crack at NFL glory.
Rare smile from Hurts
Chiefs get in for another touchdown, this time with the veteran Hopkins.
But it's all Philadelphia right now as the party begins, even drawing a rare smile from Hurts on the sideline.
Kelce's slice of history
Mahomes gets absolutely smoked as he passes a ball that is intercepted by the Eagles, but it's called back for an offside penalty.
A slice of history for Kelce, who breaks the all-time record for Super Bowl receptions.
