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.

The Eagles are dominating the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, and Jalen Hurts may have put the game away with this 46-yard touchdown pass to DeVonta Smith.

Hurts delivered an absolute dime to Smith to put Philadelphia up 34-0 late in the third quarter.

Hurts is 15 of 20 passing for 201 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, and a 119.0 passer rating. DeVonta Smith has four catches for 69 yards (17.3 avg) and one 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).

Will DeVonta Smith play in Super Bowl LIX? Injury updates for Eagles WR

Philadelphia #Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is dealing with a hamstring injury. Here are the latest updates. 

Star wide receiver DeVonta Smith was listed on the Philadelphia Eagles’ injury report for Super Bowl LIX this week.

Is there a possibility that Philadelphia will be without Smith when they face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday?

DeVonta Smith injury update

Smith is dealing with a hamstring injury, which limited his ability to participate in the Eagles’ practice sessions this week. He was not listed on Philadelphia’s previous report for the NFC Championship Game, and little is known about his exact condition.

How long will DeVonta Smith be out?

Given the gravity of Sunday’s game, it seems likely that the Eagles will elect to have Smith try to play, even if he isn’t 100 percent healthy.

Eagles WR depth chart

A.J. Brown and Jahan Dotson are expected to start alongside Smith if he is available. Should Smith miss this championship showdown, Parris Campbell is his projected backup. The Eagles also have second-string receivers Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith, both are active should Brown or Dotson have issues.

Best Eagles Super Bowl prop bets

Odds provided by BetMGM Sportsbook; access USA TODAY Sports Scores and Sports Betting Odds hub for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 12:30 p.m. ET.

RB Saquon Barkley UNDER 111.5 rushing yards (-115)

You’re going to be holding your breath for the entire game, even late into the fourth quarter.

Barkley has rushed for 118 or more yards in 5 consecutive games dating back to Week 16 of the regular season. In those games, he has cracked off runs of 68 yards or longer on 3 occasions, so he is a danger to house it any time he touches the rock. He averaged 7.9 yards per attempt in the NFC Divisional Round against the LA Rams and the NFC Championship Game against the Washington Commanders.

The Chiefs allowed just 1,731 rushing yards in 17 regular-season games, or 101.8 yards per game. That was good for No. 8 in the NFL, while giving up runs of 20+ yards on just 8 occasions, with only a single gallop of 40+ yards. In case you were wondering, that lone 40+ yard run was by Cleveland Browns RB Jerome Ford on a TD in Week 15.

BET UNDER (-115).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4132″ ]

RB Kenneth Gainwell OVER 9.5 rushing and receiving yards (-118)

Gainwell totaled 32 rushing yards on 7 carries across 3 postseason games, which is 10.7 rushing yards per game. Toss in the fact he had 3 receptions for 26 yards, and yeah, he didn’t kill it, but he also would have cashed the Over on this prop in all 3 postseason games.

BET OVER (-118).

WR Jahan Dotson OVER 0.5 receptions (-140)

Wanna be that crazy person at your Super Bowl party, celebrating out loud when a player who most of your casual friends have never heard of makes a catch? Back Dotson.

He shined in the regular-season finale with 7 receptions, but that was a game where the team rested a majority of its starters.

However, in the NFC Wild Card round, the Eagles obviously saw something they liked, or forgot, about Dotson, as he has a TD grab against the Packers. Yes, he was blanked against both the Rams and Commanders, but you just need one grab. One. It’s worth a shot.

BET OVER (-140).

QB Jalen Hurts UNDER 1.5 passing TDs (-200)

This is a little on the expensive side, and it is not suggested to be this by itself. However, if you wrap up 3 or more of these props into a same-game parlay, especially with a promo or boost, go for it.

Hurts has managed none or a single passing TD in 3 of the past 4 games. The lone exception was in the NFC Wild Card round against the Packers when he tossed 2 TDs.

BET UNDER (-200).

WR DeVonta Smith UNDER 50.5 receiving yards (+100)

Smith managed exactly 4 receptions in each of his 3 postseason games, but he totaled just 121 yards, or an average of 40.3 receiving yards per contest.

Most of Smith’s biggest performances came when fellow WR A.J. Brown was sidelined due to injury. Into the playoffs, not only did Brown resume his role as the top dog in the pass game, but TE Dallas Goedert is also back to 100-percent health, and he appears to be the No. 2 option, leaving short and intermediate routes to Smith. At 10.1 receiving yards per catch, and 4.0 receptions per game, the math screams Under for SBLIX.

BET UNDER (+100).

Eagles injury report: Brandon Graham among three questionable for Super Bowl LIX

Patrick Mahomes has injury designation and is ready to go while , while Jalen Carter was a full Participant and Brandon Graham is questionable for Super Bowl LIX

The Eagles and Chiefs released their final injury reports for the Super Bowl. Both teams have star players with designations ahead of Sunday’s finale for the Lombardi Trophy.

For Philadelphia, Nick Gates (groin), Brandon Graham (elbow), and C.J. Uzomah (abdomen) are all questionable for Sunday.

Britain Covey (neck) has been ruled out.

Jalen Carter (illness), Zack Baun (groin), Covey (neck), Landon Dickerson (knee), Dallas Goedert (ankle), Cam Jurgens (back), Kenny Gainwell (concussion) and C.J. Uzomah (abdomen were all full participants.

Gainwell, Covey, Graham, and Uzomah were all listed as questionable before the team departed for New Orleans, so the running back may have cleared the protocol.

The Chiefs put out their practice report for Friday, and Matt Araiza (illness), Patrick Mahomes (ankle), and OT Jawaan Taylor (knee) were full participants.

Sky Moore is doubtful.

Mahomes has been listed on the report every week since Week 16 after he sprained his right ankle against the Browns in a December 15 game.

He has remained a full participant, though, in the entire postseason.

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).

Chiefs CB Trent McDuffie describes technique against Eagles receivers: ‘I’m on the outside this time’

Kansas City #Chiefs cornerback Trent McDuffie describes technique against Philadelphia #Eagles receivers: ‘I’m on the outside this time’ | @EdEastonJr

During his Wednesday press conference, Kansas City Chiefs All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie opened up about his matchups with two Philadelphia Eagles offensive weapons.

“Honestly, really just looking at how they were attacking us, seeing just the things that I can improve upon as far as technique-wise,” said McDuffie. “I’m on the outside this time, so just watching more tape on A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.”

The Eagles duo of Brown and Smith led the team in receiving, and they are elite playmakers on the outside. McDuffie has carried over his All-Pro play to being the lead cornerback on defense, moving from the inside as a slot corner last season.

“I say it’s one of the games where it’s just a man-on-man; it’s who, at the end of the day, is going to do their best technique-wise and who’s going to make the most plays? We love these challenges,” said McDuffie. “We love being in these moments when you get to go against two top receivers really in the league, and I know at the backend we’re excited to go out there and compete.”

Kansas City notably defeated Philadelphia in Super Bowl LVII but was beaten last season at Arrowhead Stadium. Sunday’s matchup could depend on the execution of the secondary and the many schemes Steve Spagnuolo devised.

Eagles Thursday Super Bowl LIX Practice Report: Jalen Carter logs a full practice

Patrick Mahomes remains on Kansas City Chiefs injury report as a full participant, while Jalen Carter was a full Participant and DeVonta Smith was limited

The Eagles and Chiefs released their Thursday injury reports for the Super Bowl. Both teams have star players with designations ahead of next Sunday’s finale for the Lombardi Trophy.

Jalen Carter (illness), Zack Baun (groin), Britain Covey (neck), Landon Dickerson (knee), Dallas Goedert (ankle), Cam Jurgens (back), Kenny Gainwell (concussion) and C.J. Uzomah (abdomen were all full participants.

Gainwell, Covey, Graham, and Uzomah were all listed as questionable before the team departed for New Orleans.

The Chiefs put out their practice report for Thursday, and Matt Araiza (illness), Patrick Mahomes (ankle), and OT Jawaan Taylor (knee) were full participants. Wide receiver Sky Moore was a limited participant.

Mahomes has been listed on the report every week since Week 16 after he sprained his right ankle against the Browns in a December 15 game.

He has remained a full participant, though, in the entire postseason.
