Philadelphia Eagles Shine in Super Bowl 59
New Orleans was electric on Sunday, February 9, 2025, as the Philadelphia Eagles faced off against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59. The Eagles, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, showcased their skills in a thrilling game that ultimately crowned them champions of the 2024 NFL season.
The Eagles entered the playoffs with determination, and Hurts was at the heart of their success. Despite finishing the regular season as the 21st-highest-graded quarterback in the league, Hurts stepped up his game when it mattered most. His impressive 87.2 PFF overall grade during the playoffs—second only to Lamar Jackson—was fueled by a remarkable ability to perform under pressure, evident in his 93.8 clean pocket passing grade that led the postseason.
Another standout for the Eagles was Williams, who excelled as the highest-graded pass-rusher in the postseason with a grade of 91.4. His performance not only helped the Eagles secure their Super Bowl victory but also placed him in a position for a lucrative payday in free agency.
The team’s success can also be attributed to other key players including Carter, who proved himself as a top-tier interior pass-rusher, contributing significantly to the Eagles’ defensive prowess.
The 2024 season has highlighted numerous individual performances worth celebrating. Looking towards the future with free agency and the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, it’s clear that the Eagles have solidified their status as a formidable force in the league. Players like Hurts, Williams, and Carter have not only made their mark in the Super Bowl but have also set the stage for continued success in the seasons to come.
