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.

Will Skyy Moore playing in Super Bowl LIX? Injury updates for Chiefs WR

Kansas City #Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore is dealing with an abdominal injury ahead of Super Bowl LIX. Here is the latest on his status.

Wide receiver Skyy Moore spent much of the 2024 season on the Kansas City Chiefs’ injured reserve list due to a core muscle injury.

Ahead of Super Bowl LIX, the Chiefs opened Moore’s 21-day practice window to give him a chance to make a comeback in the postseason.

Is Moore expected to return in time to play in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday?

Skyy Moore injury update

Moore has not been on the field since Week 7 of the regular season. In October he was moved to injured reserve with a core muscle injury.

He returned to practice last week ahead of Super Bowl LIX, but was only a limited participant in Kansas City’s drills.

How long will Skyy Moore be out?

It looks unlikely that Moore will be able to make a comeback for Super Bowl LIX. He remains on the Chiefs’ injured reserve list and is officially listed as doubtful to play on Sunday.

Chiefs WR depth

Xavier Worthy, Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown, and JuJu Smith-Schuster are expected to start against the Philadelphia Eagles. Kansas City will also have DeAndre Hopkins, Nikko Remigi,o and Justin Watson available for Super Bowl LIX.

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).

Skyy Moore injury update: Latest news on Chiefs WR

#Chiefs wide receiver Skyy Moore is dealing with an abdomen injury. Here are the latest updates.

Wide receiver Skyy Moore spent most of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2024 campaign season on injured reserve, but the team opened his practice window to return last week ahead of Super Bowl LIX.

Moore was back on the practice field on Wednesday.

Is the former second-round pick expected to be activated in time for Kansas City’s Super Bowl LIX matchup against the Eagles?

Skyy Moore injury update

Moore’s season was cut short by a core muscle injury which has kept him on the Chiefs’ injured reserve list since October.

Though Moore returned to practice last week, he was only a limited participant in Kansas City’s drills on Wednesday.

How long will Skyy Moore be out?

Officially, Moore is still on injured reserve. While he could be activated in time for the game, it seems unlikely that he will be ready in time unless he is elevated by the Chiefs this week.

Chiefs WR depth chart

The Chiefs have a deep receiving corps. Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, and JuJu Smith-Schuster are expected to start against the Eagles this Sunday. Kansas City will also likely rely on DeAndre Hopkins and Nikko Remigio.

Sights and sounds from Eagles-Chiefs Super Bowl LIX Opening Night

The Eagles and Chiefs are in New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX, with the host, Philadelphia, arriving on Sunday an hour before Kansas City. Philadelphia participated in a weightlifting session at the Saints facility before the festivities kicked off massively on Monday night with Super Bowl Opening Night fueled by Gatorade at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans as players and coaches make their first public appearance during Super Bowl week! With the Eagles taking the practice field on Wednesday, we’re looking at sights and sounds from opening night. ***

Should the Chiefs activate WR Skyy Moore for Super Bowl LIX?

Should the Kansas City #Chiefs activate veteran WR Skyy Moore for their matchup against the Philadelphia #Eagles in Super Bowl LIX?

The Kansas City Chiefs may have an interesting decision to make ahead of their Super Bowl LIX matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Last week, the Chiefs opened veteran wide receiver Skyy Moore’s practice window to return from Kansas City’s injured reserve list.

That means Moore, who caught a touchdown pass in the Chiefs’ victory over Philadelphia in Super Bowl LVII, may potentially be able to return in time for the Big Game on Sunday.

Kansas City made several moves to revamp its depth at the wide receiver position heading into the season, but injuries have nonetheless affected the availability of the Chiefs’ pass-catchers throughout the team’s 2024 campaign.

Free agent addition Marquise ‘Hollywood’ Brown was injured in the preseason, and second-year wideout Rashee Rice missed most of the regular season and remains on Kansas City’s injured reserve list.

Given Moore’s experience in the Super Bowl and the stakes of Sunday’s game, it may make sense for the Chiefs to get Moore back into their lineup if he is healthy enough to play.

Chiefs open practice window for Super Bowl LVII hero to return from injured reserve

On Thursday, the #Chiefs opened WR Skyy Moore’s practice window to return from Kansas City’s injured reserve list ahead of Super Bowl LIX.

According to a report from Jesse Newell of the K.C. Star on Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs have opened the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Skyy Moore.

Moore, who joined the Chiefs as a second-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft, was placed on Kansas City’s injured reserve list on October 24, 2024.

Despite being a two-time Super Bowl champion, Moore’s time with the Chiefs has been plagued with on-field issues ranging from dropped passes to generally lackluster performances.

However, the defining moment of his career came against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, when he caught a touchdown that helped Kansas City win its second championship of the Patrick Mahomes era.

Take a look at the former Western Michigan Bronco in the first practice since his return, which was posted on Thursday by Newell on Twitter:

Stay tuned to see if the Chiefs will activate Moore for their matchup against the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on February 9.

Chiefs HC Andy Reid provides injury updates on players before Week 18: ‘I can’t make any promise’

Kansas City #Chiefs head coach Andy Reid provides injury updates on players before Week 18: ‘I can’t make any promise’ | @EdEastonJr

The Kansas City Chiefs enter Week 18 with nothing significant on the line that could affect their standing heading into the postseason. The game against the Denver Broncos will likely see many starters dealing with lingering injuries resting in preparation for the divisional round.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed several injured players during his weekly Zoom press conference with reporters on Monday. He immediately addressed veteran left tackle D.J. Humphries, who was out with a hamstring injury.

“You know what? He’s (D.J. Humphries) doing good,” said Reid. “I can’t make any promise. I want to get him out to practice and kind of see where we’re at so, but he is doing good in his rehab part as different than being on the field, so I like just to see how he does there.”

Reid also clarified four players who have spent time on injured reserve this season and their projections for the playoffs.

“There’s a chance with Mecole (Hardman) and potentially (Jaylen) Watson. I mean, potentially, that would be stretching,” said Reid. “But the other two (Rashee Rice, Skyy Moore), No.”

Isiah Pacheco, who injured his ribs during the Christmas Day victory, was in noticeable pain, and Reid shared his caution on handling his starting running back.

“He’ll be available. Playoff-wise,” said Reid. “Yea, he is tender. I probably should have mentioned that, but he is tender, and I’ll probably hold him back here this week in practice, just a bit, so he can be fresh and ready to go.”

The Chiefs will have plenty of new faces in the lineup on Sunday against the Denver Broncos, as the focus will remain on the postseason and having key players healthy.
