Dominant defense, Jalen Hurts lifts Eagles to a 40-22 win over Chiefs in Super Bowl 59

Dominant defense, Jalen Hurts lifts Eagles to a 40-22 win over Chiefs in Super Bowl 59

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.

Look: Bradley Cooper narrates Eagles hype video for Super Bowl LIX matchup vs. Chiefs

The Philadelphia Eagles released this hype video narrated by actor Bradley Cooper ahead of Sunday’s #SuperBowl matchup vs. the Kansas City Chiefs

The countdown has begun, and the Eagles and Chiefs are a little over 28 hours away from kickoff at Caesars Superdome on Sunday night.

Bradley Cooper is one of the biggest Eagles fans, so it makes sense that the famed actor would contribute to the Super Bowl LIX hype video after doing the same two years ago. 

Cooper narrates the video that focuses on winning “coming down to this moment,” which is the biggest game of Jalen Hurts’s career.

Philadelphia earned its second Super Bowl appearance in three seasons after posting a franchise-record-tying 14-3 record and a postseason run that featured three straight victories at home, including a 55-23 win against Washington in the NFC Championship Game (most points scored in a conference championship game in NFL history).

For only the second time, two Black quarterbacks will face off on the NFL’s biggest stage. Hurts and Mahomes were the first two in Super Bowl 57. Since 2022, Jalen Hurts has been 42-12 (including the playoffs) as a starting quarterback, just behind Patrick Mahomes (48-10).

C.J. Gardner-Johnson was hilarious while mic’d up at Super Bowl LIX Opening Night

Philadelphia Eagles star safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson was hilarious while mic’d up at Super Bowl LIX Opening Night

C.J. Gardner-Johnson’s departure is the mistake that Howie Roseman corrected. The boisterous defensive back will have the most pivotal role as we approach Super Bowl LIX, which is a little over 52 hours away.

Gardner-Johnson returned to Philadelphia after one year in Detroit. He re-energized the Eagles’ defense and stabilized Vic Fangio’s backend. The former Florida Gators defensive back is also a rapper and content creator in his off-time.

With Super Bowl opening night being the a ‘Movie’, it was only right that a mic’d up Gardner-Johnson got to direct the show.

Gardner-Johnson tied for the 3rd-most interceptions (career-high-tying 6) in the league, trailing only Kerby Joseph (9) and Xavier McKinney (8). According to PFF, he is 3rd among NFL safeties with nine forced incompletions, behind Brian Branch (12) and Ar’Darius Washington (10).

The lead-up to the Super Bowl can be a chaotic time for players, as most are trying to juggle their days filled with practice and media events.

Chiefs’ offensive linemen Creed Humphrey and Trey Smith, however, have learned to have some fun during these days and decided to pull an epic jersey swap prank on some members of the media.

Take a look at Humphrey and Smith wearing each other’s jerseys in a this picture, which was posted to Twitter by K.C. Star journalist Sam McDowell:

Despite their light-hearted nature in the days leading up to the game, the Pro Bowl interior lineman will be all business when Kansas City takes on the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.

Chiefs C Creed Humphrey describes playing with Patrick Mahomes: ‘He’s a great leader’

Kansas City #Chiefs center Creed Humphrey describes playing with Patrick Mahomes: ‘He’s a great leader.’ | @EdEastonJr

On Wednesday’s episode of The Rich Eisen Show, host Rich Eisen spoke to Kansas City Chiefs center Creed Humphrey about his bond with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

“Meeting Pat (Patrick Mahomes) for the first time was awesome. It was one of those things, you know, just hey, excited that you’re here. Let’s get to work. And you know, I’m one of those guys that I like to get to work. So it was awesome to get around him. Obviously, you know, he’s a great leader, a great guy to have around, a great teammate, a great friend off the field. So he’s an incredible human being, and it’s been awesome to get to, you know, grow our relationship over these past four years.”

Kansas City became the fourth team to reach three consecutive Super Bowls, joining the 1990-93 Buffalo Bills (four successive), 1971-73 Miami Dolphins (three), and 2016-18 New England Patriots (three).

“We break down film together a couple of times a week,” said Humphrey. “Just seeing how he goes through studying film and things like that. It’s something I picked up on quick. And, you know, just understanding how he does it, and you know how focused he is during that time. And some, though, really stood out to me, and I’ve kind of taken that from him.”

Humphrey earned All-Pro honors for the first time in his career after leading all centers in offensive snaps with 1,112 in 2024.

Chiefs stars appear in hilarious Doritos commercial

Check out this hilarious Doritos commercial that features many of the Kansas City #Chiefs’ biggest stars.

The Kansas City Chiefs are among the hardest-working squads in the NFL and remain strictly committed to handling business on the field. However, a few of Kansas City’s stars decided to have a little fun on their off day and film an epic commercial for Doritos.

In their latest ad campaign, Doritos has enlisted the help of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, center Creed Humphrey, wide receiver Xavier Worthy, defensive lineman Chris Jones, and beloved mascot K.C. Wolf to choose their upcoming ad for Super Bowl LIX next month.

Mahomes posted a video of the ad on Twitter with a hilarious caption:

Fans can join their favorite players and vote for which social media star they want to appear in the Doritos’ Super Bowl commercial at doritoscrash.com before the big game.

Despite taking a day off to film, Kansas City’s players will be well-prepared for Saturday’s AFC divisional round matchup against the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium.

Oklahoma Sooners lead the way with 5 NFL All-Pro selections

Oklahoma Sooners lead the way in number of NFL All-Pro selections.

The Oklahoma Sooners may not have had a lot of success at the collegiate level in 2024, but Sooners in the NFL are thriving this year. On Friday, the NFL’s All-Pro teams were announced, which featured five former Oklahoma Sooners.

Center [autotag]Creed Humphrey[/autotag] and return man [autotag]Marvin Mims[/autotag] were voted to the first team. Wide receiver [autotag]CeeDee Lamb[/autotag], offensive tackle [autotag]Lane Johnson[/autotag], and edge rusher [autotag]Nik Bonitto[/autotag] were named to the second team.

This was Humphrey’s second All-Pro selection in his four years in the NFL and Mims first honor. Lamb was selected for the third year in a row after another 100-catch season for the Dallas Cowboys. This is Johnson’s fifth All-Pro selection and fourth in a row.

Bonitto, the lone Sooner selected to the defensive squad, had a breakout season with 13.5 sacks for the playoff-bound Denver Broncos.

The Sooners had the most All-Pro selections of any university this season.
