00:00The Philadelphia Eagles are your Super Bowl 59 champions. On Sunday night in New Orleans,
00:05many people thought the Kansas City Chiefs would be celebrating a third straight Super Bowl title.
00:11The Philadelphia Eagles, however, had plenty to say about that. The Eagles crushed Kansas City
00:1640-22 in a game that wasn't even that close to begin with. Philadelphia took a 24-0 lead into
00:23halftime and extended the lead to 34-0 early in the third quarter. The game was over by then.
00:29Everyone thought that Philadelphia's Saquon Barkley would be the key to the Eagles'
00:33offensive attack. Barkley did rush for 57 yards to become the all-time leading
00:38single-season rusher for regular season and playoff yards combined. However,
00:43Philadelphia's Jalen Hurts was the Super Bowl MVP. The quarterback, 26 years old,
00:48he completed 17 passes in 22 attempts through two touchdown passes and was also Philadelphia's
00:54leading rusher. Rushed for 72 yards, including a one-yard touchdown score on the tush push or
01:00brotherly shove. That score gave Philadelphia a 7-0 lead and give Philadelphia's defense tons of
01:06credit. Sacked Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City's star quarterback, six times. Pressured him all
01:12game long. Only allowed one first down in the first half. Travis Kelsey didn't catch a pass
01:17until the second half when the game was pretty much over. Kansas City has had a terrific run,
01:22three Super Bowl victories in recent years. They're a great team and a team that will contend
01:26in the future. But let's talk about the Eagles. Hurts is only 26 years old. Barkley's coming off
01:31a historic campaign, has plenty more left in the engine. And Philadelphia has really good defensive
01:37players, young defensive players. And new defensive coordinator, Vic Fangio, is obviously connected
01:42with them. Give Kansas City credit. They're going to contend. They'll be a threat. But don't be
01:46shocked if the NFL's new dynasty moves to the city of brotherly love in Philadelphia.
