The Philadelphia Eagles embarrassed the current champion of Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, reaching a 40-22 victory at the Super Bowl Lix to seize the Lombardi trophy for them. It was a decisive moment of gratification for so many central Águilas that suffered defeat in the largest stage of the NFL only two years ago, against the same Chiefs dynasty, from the field marshal Jalen Hurts to coach Nick Sirianni. Now, forever, they are also world champions.
And yet, some fans can also ask themselves: can these eagles go one step further and, in addition to altering the chiefs on the super bowl stage, stealing all Kansas City thunder as the next NFL dynasty?
The Eagles, after all, are not oblivious to the games of this magnitude. His victory on Sunday marked his third appearance at the Super Bowl only in the last eight seasons, and his second championship of that period. Many clubs are still desperate for a single cameo in the confrontation for the NFL title. And some of the main leaders of the Eagles, such as Hurts and Sirianni, are still relatively frequently on the scene, concluding only their fourth season together in Philadelphia.
We should start remembering the Eagles fans politely enjoy at this time. Because things change in a hurry in the NFL. Super Bowl Lix could well have been a total domain of the chiefs, but in a short time, the page will have been directed to 2025. And although the story will always record the 2024 eagles as the best of the best, it is something else completely forecast this group as possible repeated champions, etc. Yes, the Chiefs were consecutive, but there is a reason why the feat is so rare in this league.
Do you remember 2017, when the Eagles won their first Lombardi trophy against wind and tide? Many fans of the sensation at that time thought that Philly would live up to the proclamation of the then coach Doug Pederson of a “new rule” that involved the annual containment of the Super Bowl, especially with Carson Wentz, the young Marshal of Campo de la Campo de la Campo de la Campo de la Campo time, not even obtaining the opportunity to show your talent in the great stage. Well, Pederson was out of work four years later, and Wentz has just spent this Sunday at the Chiefs fence, holding a clipboard while seeing Patrick Mohamses receive a beating.
Do you remember 2022, when Hurts gave a blow to the blow with Mohamses in a defeat of the Super Bowl LVII? Many head fans thought the wounds would have the Eagles back, now that it had been established as one of the promising field marshals. Well, 2023 was an abject disaster in the final stretch, and Sirianni’s work quickly seemed in danger while dragging through the best attendees. Hurts and Sirianni certainly recovered much faster than the previous regime of the Eagles, thanks in part to the construction of the master list of the general manager Howie Roseman, but the point is to return to the Super Bowls, much less win them, always It is a high task in the NFL.
Even so, if there was ever a team that is worth promoting as a legitimate challenger of the Chiefs in the future, they would probably be the eagles. Hurts is notable 26 years old, although he already plays two strong super bowls. Sirianni will only enter Year 5 at the top of the staff in 2025, and may well have the robust Vic Fangio as his best defensive assistant. And the rest of the talent All-Star is rich and young: Saquon Barkley is practically the old man, who is only 28 years old on the Sunday of the Super Bowl, since the playmates such as AJ Brown (27) and Devonta Smith (26) are locked up for the distant future, while the defense is full of unconditional first or second year such as Jalen Carter (23), Milton Williams (25), Cooper leaves (22) and Quinyon Mitchell (23).
Every year brings new challenges: injuries, falls, difficult schedules, whatever. The 2024 eagles will simply be not the 2025 eagles, and beyond. But while critical leaders remain in their place and remain in their trajectory as proven winners in battle, why cannot the Eagles advance the standard? They thoroughly found the best power of the league in the Super Bowl Lix. And although his talent always suggested that a Lombardi race would be possible, the youth of his blue chip pieces assured that they were not a situation of winning or using. Now, they have won, and the only thing that remains to be done, in addition to celebrating, is to continue building.
