5 Key Takeaways from the Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX Beatdown of the Chiefs
The Eagles got their revenge in a big way, dominating the Chiefs 40-22 to claim their second Super Bowl title. Here’s what we learned from their statement win:
1️⃣ The Chiefs’ O-Line Is a Major Problem – Just like in Super Bowl 55, Mahomes was under siege all night. The Eagles didn’t even need to blitz to pressure him on nearly 45% of his dropbacks. Kansas City needs to prioritize protecting their franchise QB this offseason.
2️⃣ The Eagles’ Offense Can Win in Multiple Ways – The Chiefs sold out to stop Saquon Barkley (26 carries, 60 yards), but that didn’t matter. Jalen Hurts took over, putting up 72 rushing yards and a near-flawless passing performance to carry the offense.
3️⃣ Xavier Worthy Is a Future Star – The Chiefs’ rookie WR was a lone bright spot, hauling in 157 yards and two TDs on eight catches. But with key weapons like Travis Kelce nearing the end and others hitting free agency, Kansas City needs more firepower.
4️⃣ The Eagles’ Defense Is Built to Dominate for Years – Philadelphia’s defense made the Chiefs look worse than the worst offense in the league this season. And the scary part? Most of their top defenders are 25 or younger. This unit could be elite for a long time.
5️⃣ We Might Not Have Seen the Last of This Matchup – These teams have now met in two Super Bowls, and both still have stacked rosters. If they handle free agency right, don’t be surprised if we get an Eagles-Chiefs trilogy in Super Bowl 60.
Did this game signal a shift in power, or will Mahomes and the Chiefs bounce back? Let’s hear your take!
