The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions again after a dominant performance in a 40-22 win over the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs. 

The win is the first for the quarterback-coaching duo of Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni after they fell in Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs. With the loss, Kansas City falls short in its quest for the first three-peat in the Super Bowl era.

A brilliant night from the Eagles’ defense and an efficient, poised night from Hurts headlined Philadelphia’s second Super Bowl title in franchise history. The Eagles held the Chiefs to 225 total yards and forced three turnovers, including a second-quarter Cooper DeJean interception that he returned for a touchdown.

Hurts, who was named Super Bowl MVP, finished the night 17-of-22 for 221 yards through the air and two passing touchdowns. He also rushed for 72 yards — a new Super Bowl record for a quarterback — and a Tush Push rushing touchdown. Saquon Barkley had 97 total yards, with 57 on the ground on 31 touches.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 257 yards and three scores — much of that once the Eagles had the game well in hand — along with two interceptions and a lost fumble. He’s now 3-3 in six career Super Bowl starts.

Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre believes New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers will continue his NFL career.

Favre, who started over Rodgers during the latter’s first three NFL seasons with the Green Bay Packers before similarly being traded to the Jets in 2008, said his former predecessor still has “something left,” despite one of the worst seasons of his inevitable Hall of Fame career.

“I think I’m right in saying that he has a lot of juice left in the tank,” Favre told TMZ Sports. 

“I just know that he still can play,” he added. “It’s just a matter of does he want to and does he want to give it his all and does a team want to take a chance on him.”

Rodgers, 41, is currently signed with the Jets through the 2025 season. The four-time MVP suffered a season-ending Achilles injury during his first drive with the Jets in 2023 and had a disappointing season in 2024, leading the team to a 5-14 record.

The Kansas City Chiefs are in historic territory.

The Chiefs, thanks to a wild 32-29 win over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC championship game on Sunday night, clinched their spot in Super Bowl LIX. They’ll take on the Philadelphia Eagles — who rolled over the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game in New Orleans.

If the Chiefs can lift the Lombardi Trophy, it’ll mark their third straight Super Bowl win. No team in NFL history has ever won three straight. Very few have even had the opportunity to do so. Kansas City is the first team to actually reach the Super Bowl after winning the game two straight times.

Before the Chiefs, only eight other teams in NFL history won back-to-back Super Bowls. The New England Patriots were the most recent team to do so in the 2005 season. Of those eight teams, only three of them made it to their conference championship game the following season to have a chance at making it to a third. They all lost.

The three-peat is so rare in American professional sports in general. The last major men’s professional team to win three straight championships was the Los Angeles Lakers. They won three consecutive NBA titles from 2000-02.
