We have finally calmed down, just.
Not even the most optimistic Philadelphia Eagles fans could have imagined that their heroes could conduct a such perfectly orchestrated performance on the biggest stage.
Going into the the Super Bowl, fans and experts across the league were torn as to which team would take home the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
Questions were being asked about Jalen Hurts’ ability to lead his franchise to glory. Many stated that Saquon Barkley would be the explosive weapon that could tip the scales in Philadelphia’s favour.
However, as per usual, football showed us that we should always expect the unexpected.
The electric running back cemented his place in the history books by smashing the single-season rushing yards record – regular season and postseason combined.
Although, Barkley was held to just 57 yards on the day by a resilient Chiefs run defense.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man!
Throwing an early interception would not deter Jalen Hurts from putting in an MVP worthy performance. It would inspire his teammates to eternal glory – throwing for 221 yards and two touchdowns.
A shift in mentality for the star quarterback has been obvious this year – win at all costs.
For the whole season, the 26 year-old was happy to lean on and hand all the plaudits to his running back, Saquon Barkley, in search of a winning season.
Steve Spagnuolo had concocted a masterplan to contain the Eagles war machine.
Nevertheless, Hurts shouldered all the responsibility and dispelled the narrative that he is nothing more than a ‘running back’.
There was not one player in a Philadelphia jersey who did not deserve an MVP award on the day.
It was a scintillating showing that has shattered a Kansas City dynasty that had a stranglehold on the league.
Philadelphia fans, I hope you are still soaking in every second of this magical triumph.
The Philadelphia Eagles are your 2025 Super Bowl champions!
