Cooper DeJean, Josh Sweat, and the Philadelphia Eagles’ phenomenal defense denied Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs a Super Bowl 3-peat.
They left them no chance at all during the final.
Jalen Hurts finished with 2 TDs and ran for a TD in a tush push to secure the MVP at the final, and Vic Fangio’s defense was so fantastic that Saquon Barkley could have rested, and the Eagles would still trash the Chiefs.

“This match is everybody’s coach dream. This is a team sport, and you can’t win big things without everyone being on the highest level,” claimed Philadelphia manager Nick Sirianni. “We don’t care what the people say about our victories. The most important thing for our players was always the triumph.”
Donald Trump became the 1st acting president to be at the Super Bowl.
Philadelphia sacked Patrick 6 times, the most of his career, including 2 1/2 by Sweat. And that happened without even 1 blitz.
“Defense wins trophies,” shared Jalen after the victory.
Saquon, the 2024 AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year, only had 31 rushing yards in the 1st half, when the Eagles left the Chiefs blanked and secured a 24-0 lead.
Kansas was trying to become the 3rd organization in league history to triumph with 3 consecutive titles and the 1st to 3-peat in the Super Bowl.
