RE: Superbowl LVII: KC vs. Philly

First Super Bowl I have watched right through. Don't understand the rules properly yet though as still didn't get why the Eagles had a touchdown and was awarded yet they could have another crack to tie the game as I thought a touchdown was 6 points plus the 1 for he kick. They were 8 points behind yet the scores were now level.

Sort:  

You actually have two options after a touchdown. You can either kick for 1 point or run a two point conversion for 2 points. You don't usually see the later, but on rare occasions it does happen. Plus Philly likes to live on the edge, so it isn't surprising they went for it. Count yourself lucky that you got to see one and they actually converted on it!
