Eagles dominate Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX: What we learned

The Philadelphia Eagles were able to accomplish the unthinkable: not only did they thwart the back-to-back champion Kansas City Chiefs, but they did so in blowout fashion, winning 40-22 and ending their dream of the threepeat. Here’s what we learned from the big game:

It’s time to put more respect on Jalen Hurts’ name: Those who consider Hurts to be outside of the league’s top 10 quarterbacks should go ahead and reevaluate their rankings. The Eagles’ QB ended up with the coveted Super Bowl MVP award after throwing for over 200 yards and rushing for over 70, along with earning three scores. His arm-punt interception ended up as his only bad play of the day.

With the SB MVP in hand and breaking several records in the game, Hurts has proved that he’s an elite QB. He also joined the company of Tom Brady as the only QBs to defeat the Patrick Mahomes-led Chiefs in a Super Bowl. At this point, Hurts is one step closer to being considered a future Pro Football Hall of Famer.

Saquon cemented his legacy: Speaking of future Hall of Famers, it’s time to go ahead and include running back Saquon Barkley in that category. With 57 rushing yards in the Super Bowl, Barkley reached 2,504 combined rushing yards in 2024-25, which is the most ever and the first time a player has surpassed 2,500. It’s safe to say this was officially the greatest and most complete season ever by a running back in history.

Sirianni wants Kellen to stay: While it’s expected that Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore will sign with the New Orleans Saints as their next head coach, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni made one last plea for Moore to stay with the team. "Let's run this sh** back, Kellen," Sirianni said after the Super Bowl win. Maybe it’s futile, or maybe he’s able to convince Moore to come back for one more year?

We’re still unclear on Travis Kelce’s future: The Chiefs’ star tight end had a quiet game (as did most of the team) with only four catches for 39 yards, though he did manage to break Jerry Rice’s record for most receptions in Super Bowl history with 34. Kelce hasn’t made it known whether he plans to return in 2025 or call it a career, and will take some time to make the decision. “He's done enough to be a gold jacket guy and a first-ballot Hall of Famer," Mahomes said about Kelce after the game. "He'll get to spend some time with his family and make that decision on his own.”

Mahomes remains positive, but now has two nightmares: Mahomes, along with his offensive line, had an absolutely awful game, turning the ball over three times and getting sacked six times. Mahomes took all the blame for the loss after the game, saying “I let y’all down today. I’ll always continue to work and try and learn and be better for it.” However, despite the loss, Mahomes managed to stay positive, noting that “We will be back.”

Before the game, Mahomes noted that the team’s 31-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV keeps him up at night. Well, after Sunday, Mahomes now has two nightmares to keep him up at night. This loss will serve as motivation for him and the team to bounce back in 2025, so don’t be surprised to see Kansas City attempt to course correct as much as possible by addressing the offensive line and other major issues that plagued the team in this Super Bowl blowout.

Breaking down mock trade offers for Myles Garrett

All of the other 31 NFL teams would love to win the Myles Garrett sweepstakes, but it’s going to take a lot to land the Cleveland Browns’ star edge rusher. A few of our staffers got together and weighed a few mock trades from a handful of teams — let’s take a look at a few:

Green Bay Packers

Browns get: 2025 first-round pick, 2026 fourth-round pick, CB Jaire Alexander
Packers get: DE Myles Garrett

Cornerback Jaire Alexander has had some injury issues, but he is still a great defender when he's healthy and available. His contract for any acquiring team is a positive, so he has value in this type of deal. A first, a future mid-rounder, and Alexander seems like a fair deal. And it isn't easy to beat. If the Browns ask for quarterback Malik Willis on top of everything, the Packers would probably consider it, but maybe taking away the fourth.

—Wendell Ferreira

Detroit Lions

Browns get: 2025 first-round pick, 2026 first-round pick, 2025 third-round pick, QB Hendon Hooker
Lions get: DE Myles Garrett, QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson

The Lions are in full win-now mode and that means they should have no problem parting with first-round picks to do so. In addition to those, the Lions will send their compensatory third-round pick and backup Hendon Hooker to Cleveland where Hooker will likely have a better chance to see the field. The Lions get younger at the backup spot with Thompson-Robinson. Someone they could potentially spend time developing.

—Mike Payton

Indianapolis Colts

Browns get: 2025 first-round pick, 2026 first-round pick, DE Kwity Paye
Colts get: DE Myles Garrett

Myles Garrett is the next-level pass rusher the Colts have been looking for since Robert Mathis retired. They've taken a few shots to find one but have ultimately found more Robins than Batmans at the position. If the Colts made an offer I think they'd send their first this year, a first next year in 2026 along with one of their younger edge rushers to try to entice Cleveland. I assume they would keep Laiatu Latu off the table so I went with Kwity Paye who is entering his fifth year and will be a free agent in 2026 unless a new deal is struck.

—Destin Adams

Dallas Cowboys

Browns get: 2025 first-round pick, 2026 first-round pick, DE Sam Williams
Cowboys get: DE Myles Garrett, 2026 fifth-round pick

I go into this trade offer completely aware of how the Cowboys operate, so don't expect this to happen in real life. But if Dallas wants to make a "Super Bowl-winning move," there's probably not another one out there. Williams is no Garrett but the Browns at least get a former second-round draft pick defensive end who could play a significant role once he's fully healthy.
