Eagles hint at Super Bowl 59 parade being on Valentines Day after 40-22 win over Chiefs

Philadelphia Eagles hint at Super Bowl 59 parade being on a Friday Valentines Day after 40-22 win over Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX

There’s been no official announcement, but thanks to impending weather, the Eagles Super Bowl LIV parade will be held on Friday, February 14, Valentines day.

Philadelphia’s social media team hinted at such, saying, we’ll see you on Friday in a video hyping the Super Bowl win and the trip down broad street.

In what can only be described as a beatdown, the Eagles exacted revenge on the Chiefs, winning Super Bowl LIX in dominant fashion, 40-22.

Vic Fangio’s No. 1 ranked defense held Kansas City to 275 yards of total offense and 3-11 on third downs, with Patrick Mahomes getting sacked six times on the night. Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts was 17 of 22 passing for 221 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, and a 119.7 passer rating.

Kansas City scored 16 fourth-quarter points, but it was too late as the Eagles jumped out to a 34-6 lead in the third quarter and bullied the Chiefs throughout the contest. In what can only be described as a team win, the Eagles won despite Saquon Barkley getting held to 57 yards on 25 carries.

Jalen Hurts led the Eagles with a Super Bowl record of 11 carries for 72 yards and one rushing touchdown.

With Barkley shut down, DeVonta Smith had four catches for 69 yards (17.3 avg) and one touchdown.  A.J. Brown had three catches for 43 yards and a touchdown.

Nick Foles singes Tom Brady with perfect Super Bowl tweet

Nick Foles got in a great dig at Tom Brady via social media

There must be something about the Super Bowl and Nick Foles always knowing how to execute something to perfection.

The quarterback who led the Eagles to victory over Tom Brady and the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII thanks for the Philly Special was back at it on Sunday.

After the Eagles clobbered the Chiefs, 40-22, in the Superdome, with Brady as FOX Sports’ lead analyst, Foles took to social media and nailed the GOAT with a perfectly placed zing.

Brady won’t get another shot at calling a Super Bowl until 2029. We’re sure Foles would like for the Birds to win another one without Brady on the mic.

WATCH: Former Texans WR DeAndre Hopkins scores TD in Super Bowl LIX

One of the greatest Houston Texans receivers found his way into the end zone in Super Bowl LIX.

When drafted out of Clemson in 2013, DeAndre Hopkins planned on making the Super Bowl one day.

He just envisioned that journey coming with the Houston Texans and not the Kansas City Chiefs.

Now, he’ll have to hope he can return to the big game in 2025 to win the Lombardi Trophy.

Hopkins, considered by some as one of the greatest Texans players in franchise history, found his way into the end zone on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Patrick Mahomes with two minutes remaining in Super Bowl LIX.

The Philadelphia Eagles would cap off their dominant postseason runs shortly after in a 40-22 win down in New Orleans. Hopkins also caught a two-point conversion following Mahomes’ 50-yard touchdown pass to rookie Xavier Worthy.

Though Hopkins’ score came far too late to alter the final score in a meaningful way, it helped the final score of Kansas City’s matchup against the Eagles.

One of the best to ever play at NRG Stadium, Hopkins spent seven seasons with the Texans before being traded ahead of the 2020 season.

After spending two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, Hopkins joined the Tennessee Titans in 2023 and later was traded to Kansas City at the deadline this past October.

It is unclear whether the Chiefs will elect to bring Hopkins back next season, but even if the veteran wideout’s time in Kansas City ends after Super Bowl LIX, he can always say he scored in the game most are never promised to play in.

X reacts to Eagles beatdown of Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX

X reacts to Eagles’ win over Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX from a Commanders’ perspective.

For Washington Commanders fans, watching this year’s Super Bowl felt slightly different. After winning 12 games and two playoff games, the Commanders were one game short of appearing in their first Super Bowl in 33 years.

Unfortunately for Washington, it ran into the Philadelphia Eagles. Turnovers plagued the Commanders in their third matchup against the Eagles, allowing Philly to come away with a blowout win. That led to a rematch in Super Bowl LIX between the Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. The Eagles and Chiefs met two years ago, with Kansas City coming away with a 38-35 win.

Sunday’s rematch proved to be a far different result, though, with the Eagles steamrolling the Chiefs 40-22 for their second Super Bowl championship in franchise history.

The game was never competitive, with Philadelphia owning a 24-0 halftime lead. Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes struggled, throwing two first-half interceptions. While Mahomes finished the game with three touchdown passes, his final numbers were deceptive as he didn’t lead the Chiefs to their first score until they were already down 34-0.

Washington fans were not rooting for the Eagles. But many Commanders’ fans couldn’t help but wonder, “What could have been.” Could Washington have beaten Kansas City?

One thing was clear: the Commanders’ offense looked much better against Philly’s vaunted defense. Even with 10 turnovers in their three meetings against the Eagles, Jayden Daniels and the Commanders averaged 26 points per game against Philadelphia.

We took to X after the Eagles’ victory to see how some viewed this game from a Commanders’ perspective.
