The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions again after a dominant performance in a 40-22 win over the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs. 

The win is the first for the quarterback-coaching duo of Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni after they fell in Super Bowl LVII against the Chiefs. With the loss, Kansas City falls short in its quest for the first three-peat in the Super Bowl era.

A brilliant night from the Eagles’ defense and an efficient, poised night from Hurts headlined Philadelphia’s second Super Bowl title in franchise history. The Eagles held the Chiefs to 225 total yards and forced three turnovers, including a second-quarter Cooper DeJean interception that he returned for a touchdown.

Hurts, who was named Super Bowl MVP, finished the night 17-of-22 for 221 yards through the air and two passing touchdowns. He also rushed for 72 yards — a new Super Bowl record for a quarterback — and a Tush Push rushing touchdown. Saquon Barkley had 97 total yards, with 57 on the ground on 31 touches.

Patrick Mahomes threw for 257 yards and three scores — much of that once the Eagles had the game well in hand — along with two interceptions and a lost fumble. He’s now 3-3 in six career Super Bowl starts.

Two years later, the Chiefs and Eagles are getting together in the Super Bowl again.

Last time, the Eagles entered the game as 1.5-point favorites for the game played in Arizona. This time, the DraftKings opening line has the Chiefs as 1.5-point favorites in Super Bowl LIX, to be played in New Orleans.

In Super Bowl LVII, the Eagles seemed to have the better overall team. As we saw at the time, that doesn’t matter when the Chiefs have quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

We’ll find out whether the Chiefs can do it again, giving them the first-ever Super Bowl three-peat — with the bookends coming against Philadelphia.

Pete Alonso may wind up signing again with the New York Mets.

Alonso and the Mets are currently far apart in talks, with a sizable gap between what the first baseman wants and what the Mets are offering right now.

The two sides are far enough apart that the Mets have considered other options at first base. One move could involve moving third baseman Mark Vientos to first and letting younger players like Brett Baty try to lock down the third base job.

The Mets, like many teams, are not prioritizing a need for power as  much, which is hurting Alonso’s market. Alonso is also coming off a down year by his standards, as he hit .240 with 34 home runs in 2024. Setting aside the shortened 2020 season, that is the lowest single-season home run total of his career. 

The first baseman remains a fan favorite, however, and bringing him back would be a popular move. Whether it is possible might depend on whether the two sides are willing to compromise.
