The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl Champions once again after they beat the Kansas City Chiefs in a dominant performance that showcased their high-powered offense and suffocating defense. While Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, Saquon Barkley, and Devonta Smith played their best on offense, the Eagles’ defense stole the show and made Patrick Mahomes have an awful game. 

From their first drive, the Eagles’ defense established a strong tone. Jalen Carter and Josh Sweat spearheaded a vicious pass rush that hounded the Chief’s line throughout the game, ending with six sacks on Chief’s quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter plugged up the middle, closed the run game, and made Kansa City attempt difficult third-down conversions. Milton William’s strip-sack in the second quarter turned the momentum, leading to an Eagles touchdown as they added to their lead. 

Rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean made a game-winning impact. His athletic instincts were on full display when he picked off Mahomes in the red zone, wiping out would have been a Chief’s touchdown. DeJean also made game-altering pass breakups, not allowing Kansas City receives to make plays down the field.  Cornerbacks Darius Slay and Quinyon Mitchell locked down their targets, limiting Mahomes to one of his poorest passing performances this year. 

Offensively, Jalen Hurts lived up to his title of MVP, passing for over 300 yards and rushing for a touchdown. A.J. Brown was unstoppable, accumulating 100 yards, and scoring a touchdown on the Chief’s Secondary.  

As the clock ran down, the Eagles closed out the win. Confetti rained down throughout the stadium and Philadelphia fans erupted in excitement. This was not just a win – it was a statement. With a defense that couldn’t be stopped and explosive playmakers on offense, the Eagles demonstrated that they are the most complete team in the NFL. Philadelphia can now celebrate another Lombardi Trophy, and with this roster, it definitely will not be the last.
