Full Story
The Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off a night of celebration, were a bit bleary eyed Monday, Feb. 10, but still took time to reflect on their win over the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs. Fans and media members are still wondering how the team pulled it off.
What happened in Super Bowl LIX?
The Chiefs simply had no answers for the Eagles on either side of the ball. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was under fire all night. He was sacked a season-high six times, fumbled the ball and threw a pair of interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni spoke Monday morning about forcing Mahomes to play one of the worst games of his career.

“Our guys were consistently on the same page working as one out there for all the different looks that they got,” Sirianni said. “Do you defeat blocks, do you tackle well, do you take the football away and the fundamentals that require that. And our guys did that consistently all year.”
Coaches pay tribute to Super Bowl stars
Sirianni paid tribute to one of his more fiery players Monday morning, wearing the high school jersey of wide receiver AJ Brown to the press conference.
“Thankful for the guys we have on this football team, the special players, the special people that we have on this football team,” Sirianni said.
One of those special players is quarterback Jalen Hurts, the Super Bowl’s Most Valuable Player. He threw for 221 yards, rushed for 72 more and scored three total touchdowns. A validating performance for a guy who kept a picture of his 2023 Super Bowl loss as the screen saver on his phone for two years.
“As a team we want to look back and say we made everything worth it, that’s the commitment, the time, the effort everything that we did.” Hurts said. “But I wouldn’t be here without that journey and that’s something that I embraced along the way and I think it’s something to continue to build on.”
How could the Eagles’ roster change during the offseason?
The Eagles have a few notable free agents this offseason including star linebacker Zach Baun and pass rusher Josh Sweat, both of whom were dominant in the Super Bowl. Fifteen-year veteran Brandon Graham could also decide he wants to play another year.
