GREATNESS OF OTHERS: THE PHILADELPHIA EAGLES CEMENT THEIR LEGACY AS SUPER BOWL CHAMPIONS, COMPLETELY EMASCULATE THE CHIEFS DYNASTY
CHANDAN KHANNA. Getty Images.It has been such a long, long road since 2022. Filled with so many incredible highs and incredible lows. From starting 10-1 to suffering one of the most historic collapses in NFL history. To the first 4 weeks of this season when everybody wanted Nick Sirianni gone and Jalen Hurts on the shortest leash known to man.
The rattling off 10+ straight wins in the regular season. To Saquon Barkley having quite literally the greatest season that any running back in the history of professional football has ever had. The most yards in the regular + post season, and a Super Bowl Championship to boot. To Jalen Hurts, yet again, out playing Patrick Mahomes on the biggest stage and proving that all this man does is win. To Vic Fangio dialing up the most lethal defense the modern era of football has ever seen. This defense relentlessly bullied the shit out of Patrick Mahomes. Sack after sack. Pick after pick.
To Nick Sirianni not only shutting up all the haters, but earning every single apology from every single soul in the greater Philadelphia area. He's been the Eagles head coach for 4 seasons now. He's been to the playoffs in all 4 years. He's the only Eagles head coach to take his team to the Super Bowl twice. And now he becomes just the 2nd Eagles head coach to win a Super Bowl--something that Andy Reid was never able to accomplish.
Holy shit, man. What a game. From start to finish, it was dominant. The offense couldn't be stopped. Jalen was as dialed as it gets. He was killing Kansas City with his legs when he needed to. He was killing Kansas City with his arm when he needed to. Once again, he was the best player on the field during the Super Bowl. He is as much of a killer as anybody who has ever played the game, and he deserves nothing but for everybody to shut the fuck up and respect his greatness.
And speaking of greatness, let's just talk about Howie Roseman real quick. Saquon Barkley. Zack Baun. Cooper DeJean. Quinyon Mitchell. It was the greatest offseason that any executive has ever had. Howie Roseman took an Eagles team that completely lost their way in 2023, and he created an absolute monster in 2024. A team that not only took down a dynasty, but absolutely throttled and dismantled the Chiefs to the point where this game was over at halftime.
More to come but holy shit. I can't believe this. What a fucking win. What a fucking team. Buy some merch!!!!!
