The Kansas City Chiefs wanted a three-peat in the worst way. Although they didn’t get an unprecedented third consecutive Lombardi Trophy, they got the “worst way” part down pat. Seven years after reaching the NFL mountaintop with a down-to-the-wire win, the Philadelphia Eagles left no room for doubt Sunday, bringing Broad Street to Bourbon Street with a 40-22 Super Bowl victory over the two-time defending NFL champions. “It says champion on my hat,” Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson bellowed as he made his way from the confetti-covered Superdome field to the...

Forgive any football fan who’s wondering—what was that? The Philadelphia Eagles really obliterated the Kansas City Chiefs, the two-time defending champs and the slight betting favorite, in Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans on Sunday night? The Chiefs, the team chasing much publicized history in trying to become the first three-peat Super Bowl champ, played like they forgot to show up? Philadelphia’s 40-22 triumph over Kansas City—the Chiefs tacked on two late touchdowns to make the point difference barely respectable—was a stunning display of offensive firepower and defensive ferocity.

Terry Bradshaw always wondered what might have been if his Pittsburgh Steelers had reached the Super Bowl either of the times they had a chance to win three in a row. Ronnie Lott has long lamented just one bounce of the oblong ball that he believes could have helped send the San Francisco 49ers to the big game when they were in just about perfect position for a three-peat. Kansas City is the first team to reach the Super Bowl after winning the previous two, which means Patrick Mahomes and...

NEW ORLEANS, Feb 8 (Reuters) - The Philadelphia Eagles' long wait for a shot at redemption against the Chiefs' team who stunned them at the Super Bowl two years ago is just one day away and head coach Nick Sirianni said they were "hungry" and "ready to roll". The Eagles can not only deliver payback for their heartbreaking 38-35 defeat in Phoenix but also stop the favored Chiefs from raising a record third straight Lombardi trophy. "When you have two weeks off (since the NFC Championship Game) it's like, 'Let's...

The Philadelphia Eagles spent less than an hour on the field in their final preparations for Super Bowl 59 during a walk-through on Saturday morning. Head coach Nick Sirianni said his team are "hungry" and "ready to roll." "When you have two weeks off [since the NFC Championship game], it's like, 'let's go'." A few players wore baseball caps to protect from the sun, with the temperature reaching 25C in the late morning, as the offence and defence jogged through plays. That was followed by situational football covering various end-of-half/end-of-game...

NEW ORLEANS — Of course we know that no NFL team has ever won three consecutive Super Bowls. No three-peat, ever. Nine teams have won back-to-back Super Bowls, but none of them have ever even made it to a third straight — until now. The Chiefs are in position to do something unprecedented. Standing in their way on Sunday in Super Bowl 2025 in New Orleans is the opponent that put the three-peat in motion. It was two years ago that the Chiefs came back to beat the Eagles, 38-35....
