Eagles Dominate Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX—And Cash In
The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t just win Super Bowl LIX—they made a statement. After falling to the Chiefs in a heartbreaker two years ago, Philly got sweet revenge, steamrolling Kansas City 40-22 in New Orleans. Jalen Hurts and the Eagles’ offense were unstoppable, while the defense made life miserable for Patrick Mahomes, preventing the Chiefs from pulling off another magical comeback.
Of course, winning the Lombardi Trophy comes with more than just bragging rights. Thanks to the 2020 Collective Bargaining Agreement, every Eagles player received a $171,000 bonus for the victory. Meanwhile, the Chiefs—who had their dreams of a three-peat crushed—walked away with $96,000 each. Not exactly a bad payday, but it probably doesn’t feel too great after such a rough night.
For the Eagles, the celebrations will continue with a championship parade through Philadelphia, where fans will no doubt relive every glorious moment of the beatdown. As for the Chiefs, they’ll head into the offseason with plenty of questions—was this just a bad night, or is their dynasty in trouble? Either way, one thing is clear: the Eagles are back on top.
