Eagles 2025 Super Bowl Champions

Review Dave Spadaro Philadelphia Eagles Oficial

The Philadelphia Eagles, a team that dominated the entire 2024 season, delivered a near-perfect first-half performance in Sunday’s Super Bowl LIX, carried it into the third quarter and defeated the Kansas City Chiefs at Caesar’s Superdome, 40-22.

Philadelphia held a 34-0 lead until the Chiefs finally scored with 34 seconds left in the third quarter. Amazing, unbelievable and a wall-to-wall beatdown of the two-time Super Bowl champions as the Eagles won their second Super Bowl in 8 seasons.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts was on fire

Kansas City’s defense concentrated its efforts on running back Saquon Barkley and made life difficult for No. 26, who nevertheless ran for 57 yards to set the record for most rushing yards in a single season in NFL history. On Super Bowl night, Jalen Hurts led the offense to a 24-0 lead after two quarters, completing 11 of 15 passes for 123 yards and a touchdown pass to wide receiver A.J. Brown.

Hurts saved his best throw for late in the third quarter, throwing a perfect strike to receiver DeVonta Smith on a straight route for a 46-yard touchdown and a 34-0 lead.

What a defensive performance!

The NFL’s No. 1 defense held the Chiefs to – and this is not a typo – 3 rushing yards on 3 carries. Quarterback Patrick Mahomes was just 6-of-14 for 33 passing yards, and the Eagles played such an aggressive and perfect “Crush Rush” that Mahomes couldn’t escape with his legs.

The Eagles kept on hammering

The Eagles didn’t let up in the third quarter. After the defense forced a punt, the Eagles mounted an attack that included two long runs by Hurts of 14 and 16 yards, a 22-yard pass to Barkley to get inside the 10-yard line and then Jake Elliott capped the attack with a field goal to make it 27-0. Every point was important.

The Eagles were better in every way than the two-time Super Bowl champions

Better training. A much better staff. More physical. A team that came out smoking and kept pouring gasoline on the fire. Such was the Eagles’ incredible performance.

What about depth. Point guard Mekhi Becton suffered a knee injury in the first half and Tyler Steen came in his place and played well on the right side for a series before Becton returned. Burks was tremendous, part of a near-perfect defensive performance.

In the end, the Eagles now have two Lombardi Trophies and are poised for more

We can talk about the future in due time, but it’s certainly bright. In the present, the Eagles have won Super Bowls LII and LIX. They have been to four Super Bowls since 2004, three since the 2017 season and two in the last three campaigns. Head coach Nick Sirianni is one of the best coaches in the NFL and the 2024 edition of the Eagles is one of the best in NFL history, winning 18 of 21 games and that’s not in dispute.
