USA Today10-02-2025
The Kansas City Chiefs got off to a slow start in Super Bowl LIX against the Philadelphia Eagles, but the defending champions seemed to have turned a corner.
After an early touchdown by the Eagles to start the game via the controversial 'brotherly shove' Kansas City found itself down seven points to start the game.
The Eagles were well on their way to another score when Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts threw a pass that was intercepted by Chiefs defensive back Bryan Cook, which gave Kansas City a chance to even the score.
Take a look at Cook's epic interception in this video, which was posted to Twitter by the Chiefs' official account:
Though Kansas City's next drive ended in a punt after Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was unable to get the team's offense in gear, the defending champions are still very much in the game.
Stay tuned to see if Kansas City can make an epic comeback to defeat Philadelphia in Super Bowl LIX.

Eagles are moving past Super Bowl championship, locked in on 2025 season: "We're not defending nothing"

Jalen Hurts calls Michael Jordan a friend — the two cigar aficionados were photographed rubbing shoulders over the summer in Greece — so when the retired Chicago Bulls great offers advice, it's perhaps best to listen. Jordan won six NBA titles, including two separate runs of three straight, so his words of wisdom to Hurts following the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl victory resonated with the QB. At the top of the list? "He used every word but repeat," Hurts said with a laugh. One by one, from coach Nick Sirianni to Hurts to general manager Howie Roseman to offensive lineman Jordan Mailata, the Eagles stood firm Wednesday on the first day of training camp that the word "repeat" for the 2024 champions is not part of the vernacular around the complex. "We're not defending nothing," Mailata said, later tossing in a profanity for emphasis. "We're not the defending champs. We're the 2024 world champs, that's it." Hurts, who won Super Bowl MVP honors in the Eagles' 40-22 thrashing over Kansas City, said he appreciated Jordan's advice. The best approach in 2025 is for the Eagles to took at the season as a blank canvas, that it's "purely about resetting," rather than rambling on about a repeat, which would shift focus to what they accomplished last season. Maybe that's why Hurts was never photographed wearing the Super Bowl ring in the scores of photos released on social media from last week's ceremony. While most Eagles players were snapped flashing the gaudy bling, Hurts simply held the box in his photos. Hurts was cryptic when asked if he actually slipped on the ring — which include wings on each side that release from the bezel and feature 145 diamonds, celebrating the Eagles' 145 points scored in the playoffs. "I've moved on to the new year," Hurts said. "It's as simple as that." Hurts did say the ceremony allowed him to appreciate the Super Bowl "one last time." Only the ones in uniform have truly moved on from the Super Bowl. Super Bowl swag blanketed fans and most of them stopped to pose next to the oversized Super Bowl replica ring that greeted them as they made the walk to the field. Fans in Super Bowl gear crushed beers in the parking lot as they waited for the gates to open for camp. Unlike the diehard revelers, Mailata noted, "I'm not trying to be hung over." Mailata was talking about the so-called Super Bowl hangover, of course, and how the Eagles are taking steps like banning the word repeat in a bid to ... well, win a Super Bowl for the second straight season. The players who talked to the media bulked up on buzzwords such as chemistry and culture, and reiterated the "tough, detailed, together" mantra that inspired them last season. Just in case they forget, those words are also stamped on the ring. "I truly felt like a true champion," wide receiver A.J. Brown said of the ring ceremony. "I came there only for the ring. I didn't eat, I didn't do anything." Saquon Barkley, who became the ninth 2,000-yard season rusher in NFL history, said it was easy to turn the page after a whirlwind offseason that included a parade, a White House visit and, even for the All-Pro running back, a video game cover. "Howie asked me, what's better, the confetti or the ring," Barkley said. How about a new contract? (For the record, Barkley said it was the ring.) Roseman put the Eagles in prime position to repe .. er, win the Super Bowl again with a busy offseason that included making Barkley the highest-paid running back in NFL history, giving him a two-year contract extension and $36 million guaranteed. The Eagles retained All-Pro linebacker Zack Baun before he could test free agency, center Cam Jurgens got a four-year extension and Sirianni earned a multiyear extension, too. It's all just part of the recipe that add up to the Eagles having the best odds out of the NFC to win the Super Bowl at 7-1, according to BetMGM Sportsbook. With Brandon Graham retired, and Darius Slay and C.J. Gardner-Johnson having moved on, Sirianni said he was ready to get to work in camp and learn about his new roster. "It's so important at this time to come together as a football team," Sirianni said. "You do that through suffering together." Suffering in Philly? What year is this, 1998? The Eagles have played in three of the last eight Super Bowls and won two of them. They are no longer loveable underdogs but a model NFL franchise with yearly championship expectations. So what if the Eagles don't want to call it a repeat bid inside the locker room? "You're not looking back, you're not looking forward," Sirianni said. Yeah, but take a look around and let it soak in that, for only the second time in franchise history, the Super Bowl champs are indeed here.

Roku lands broadcast deal to deliver the Eagles' definitive Super Bowl story

Roku secures a deal with NFL Films and Dan Silver's BD4 to release the Eagles' definitive Super Bowl documentary. If you're like most, you have probably already spent more money than you planned to on Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl memorabilia. Oh well... You only live once. We waited a long time for that first Lombardi Trophy in 2018, and now we have seen the Birds win two. Why not live a little? Why not party like rock stars? Philly has turned the page and is now looking ahead to another season. It took a while, but they finally received their Super Bowl rings. Wouldn't you know it? Jalen Hurts has no plans of wearing his. Oh well... Maybe, once his playing days are over, he can enjoy another cigar, kick his feet up, and enjoy some of his accomplishments. That doesn't mean the rest of us can't enjoy that celebration a bit longer, though. Fans and the media can look as far ahead or as far back as they want. They won't be suiting up for any games this year. NFL Films will partner with Roku to release the Eagles' Super Bowl documentary Here's something of note. The Hollywood Reporter shared an exclusive on the first day of Eagles training camp. Roku, NFL Films, and Dan Silver's BD4 are partnering to release Super Bowl Champions: The 2024 Philadelphia Eagles. This is a documentary described as the "definitive" documentary about the 2024-25 championship-winning season. 'We are excited to produce the definitive story of the Philadelphia Eagles' incredible 2024 season, which culminated with a victory in Super Bowl LIX. We thank Dan Silver and BD4 for bringing this film to a tremendous partner in the Roku Channel, and we look forward to sharing the Eagles' championship run with their audience.' Those were the words of Jessica Boddy, NFL Films vice president of commercial operations and business affairs. Roku's head of sports, Joe Franzetta, states the following. "We're thrilled to be the home for 'Super Bowl Champions The 2024 Philadelphia Eagles' and can't wait to give our users an exclusive look into the Philadelphia Eagles' unforgettable season. Roku Sports aims to create personalized viewing experiences for fans with their favorite teams and leagues, so we're excited to use the power of our platform to connect audiences with this tremendous NFL Films and BD4 documentary." The documentary debuts on Friday, July 25. No die-hard football fan needs a lecture on the fantastic job NFL Films does. The release, at the time of this story's release, is still a ways away, and it feels like this one will be worthy of Oscar consideration. Buckle up. Mark those calendars. This one should be a fun watch.

An early surprise surfaces as the Eagles' look to replace Britain Covey

It's too early to make real determinations about the Eagles' return game, but let's offer a few theories anyway. Who knew that a brief practice at Philadelphia Eagles camp could spark so much discussion? Let's be honest; we all knew that. In MLB news, the Philadelphia Phillies are near baseball's trade deadline, but no one in the City of Brotherly Love or Delaware Valley is ignoring what has gone on at the NovaCare Complex. Everything is on the discussion table from Jalen Hurts' decision to pack his Super Bowl ring away without wearing it to Jihaad Campbell's surprise workout during the first day of training camp practice to Jalen Carter's shoulder injury and everything in between. No topic of discussion is too significant or too minor, and that includes Philadelphia's quest to replace its former returner, Britain Covey. The first training camp session of the summer offered a surprise. It was less about who got reps and more about who didn't. Avery Williams gets zero return reps during the first day of Eagles training camp practice. As brief as the Eagles' first practice session was, it provided us with much to discuss. Much will change in a week or two, but that won't stop us from narrating every unexpected wrinkle. Guys are wearing shorts. No one is wearing pads. Physical contact and tackling are off the table, but there was still plenty to take away from Wednesday's session and chew on. Avery Williams, someone Philadelphia signed with the expectation he'd battle for a returner's role, didn't get any snaps when punt return reps were offered. Instead, according to Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski, reps were offered to Ainias Smith, Giles Jackson, Taylor Morin, Cooper DeJean, and Jahan Dotson. Kempski also admits to not watching the entire session, but anyone who has been paying attention must admit. Part of the reason Smith was drafted was to provide Philadelphia with another option as a punt returner. The Eagles quickly evacuated that plan last season. That has much to do with why Avery Williams is on the roster, so seeing him work more specifically as part of the punt coverage does lead one to scratch one's head. It was only one day, and it's hard to imagine that Williams won't get his shot at some point. Better late than never, maybe. We'll see how things transpire as we progress. It does beg the question, though. If Philadelphia determines they have so many options that they like better at punt returner, how does Williams stand any shot at making the initial 53-man roster?
