00:00We spoke we were getting ready for Super Bowl 59. The

00:04Philadelphia Eagles trying to stop the Kansas City Chiefs from

00:08three peating. And boy did they 40 to 22 and it was not even

00:14that close the slight underdog Philadelphia Eagles dominated

00:18from the jump. This was 24 nothing at half a few

00:22interceptions from Pat Mahomes saw him play the worst first

00:27half of his career, a 34 nothing score as the result of

00:32an Avanta Smith dagger shot from Jalen hurts at around midfield.

00:36And there was no doubt to be had that the Eagles were going to

00:40win the Super Bowl. Mahomes and the lead offense did stay out

00:45there and found some statistics. It wasn't stat padding, but it

00:48was garbage time Eagles had their backups in. And we saw the

00:53Eagles finish off an incredibly dominant season Donnie and win

00:57their second Lombardi trophy. Yeah, pretty incredible the way

01:00this game played out. Now granted, I did have the

01:02Philadelphia Eagles by double digits. But you see that 40 to

01:0422 final score. It wasn't even that close. It was 40 to six at

01:08one point late with about three minutes to go. And it was even

01:11worse in the first half. If you would have told me before the

01:13game Jalen hurts was going to play well, I would have felt

01:15like yeah, that's what the expectations are a QBR rating

01:18of 75 for that game. But Patrick Mahomes QBR rating for the

01:21Super Bowl in 11. Never did I think that was going to happen

01:25in a big moment like that. And why the Eagles defense which was

01:28number one all season long at the Vic Fangio and the worry was

01:31you give Andy Reid two weeks to prepare what's going to happen.

01:34Typically you come up with aces and in this one they came up

01:37Joe with who got about that this game was one in the trenches

01:41dominant offense and defensive line effort. We talked about how

01:45much quarterback pressures and sacks they got in terms of the

01:47front seven for the Philadelphia Eagles. They dictated the tempo

01:51from start to finish. And the biggest thing for me is that

01:54once they jumped up 10 nothing in the first quarter it was

01:56lights out they never looked back they built a 34 nothing

02:00third quarter lead to your point it was garbage time in the second

02:04half the turnovers Pat Mahomes look mortal. The two turnovers

02:07the critical interceptions by Zach Bonner more importantly

02:11Cooper Dejean to take it to the house really set the tone and

02:15from that point on start to finish complete dominance best

02:18team in the NFL we talked about in the pregame and they showed

02:22out on Sunday yeah I think getting the you know we're gonna

02:25expand on this game certainly and we'll talk about how the

02:28Eagles did this the signs that some of us saw from Philadelphia

02:32where we felt that them winning the Super Bowl was how this

02:35season would end and what it means for this team historically

02:39if anybody now agrees with what I was kind of saying in the lead

02:42up to the game that they were going to be viewed as one of the

02:44best teams in the history of this league but also what

02:48happened to Kansas City you know Lee you said Lee see my

02:51homes look mortal no he looked awful he would have killed to

02:55look mortal in that football game it was as bad as he's ever

02:58played and these two know that I will now be just throwing

03:03statistic over statistic at them that initially understandably

03:06everybody he wins score 32 if he needs to score 32 he'll score

03:1135 if that's what they need well they needed him to do

03:14anything anything in this game and he couldn't and this is why

03:20this Super Bowl is as much about the excellence of

03:24Philadelphia and how terrible this Chiefs football team

03:29specifically on offense looked with 2 minutes and 31 seconds to

03:33go my homes had 61 yards no touchdowns two picks Donnie I

03:41believe I don't know if it was Eagle fan or Chiefs fans there

03:44were chants for Carson Wentz in the Superdome. Yeah and also

03:47you didn't even think he would even come out for like what

03:49eight or 7 minutes left to go in the fourth quarter where he

03:51was really able to pad his stats but it was just amazing

03:53to see it's something we don't see that often the times where

03:56Patrick Holmes looks bad maybe a couple Super Bowls ago

03:58against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a ferocious pass rush and

04:01then you saw the Philadelphia Eagles with a ferocious pass

04:03rush understand this there's one thing between a pass rush and

04:06a blitz where you have to sell out to get pressure on the

04:08quarterback. The Eagles didn't blitz one time in the Super

04:10Bowl and absolutely got home whenever they wanted to and it

04:13was apparent Patrick Holmes one of the best quarterbacks we've

04:16ever seen dropping back in the pocket worried about the front

04:18four here taking his eyes instead of downfield to the

04:21pass rush and that's a big issue and I always want to

04:23bring this up too because two years ago the Philadelphia

04:26Eagles have one of the best sack artist defenses in league

04:29history with the front four. They played on an ice skating

04:32rink. Imagine if it wasn't an ice skating rink would he have

04:35been talking about a three-peat at this point for Patrick

04:37Holmes and the Kansas City Chiefs, but you have to give

04:40credit to like Vic Fangio has been one of the best defensive

04:42coordinators in football for decades finally got his just do

04:45with the Super Bowl ring. He was spectacular Joe on Sunday

04:49made them completely one dimensional. They had no

04:51rushing attack. They had 45 rushing yards on the ground.

04:5425 of those are counted by Pat Mahomes scrambling. So you take

04:57that out of the equation. You're talking about less than

04:5930 yards rushing for the game and less than three yards per

05:03carry out of both of those running backs Kareem Hunt and

05:06Isaiah Pacheco three of 11 third down conversions. They

05:09were forced to play from behind and critical third downs. You

05:13become one dimensional. The offensive line breaks down. You

05:16talk about Williams Nolan Smith. You talk about sweat. All of

05:20those playmakers coming off the edge. Those two big bodies in

05:23terms of Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter to get a push up front

05:27collapse the pocket. That was the difference for the ball

05:30game. And again when you force turnovers and they when they

05:33had to run the football, they can run it whether it be Saquon

05:36was held in check for the most part, but you couldn't contain

05:39Jalen Hurts with 72 yards on the ground. They sustain drives

05:43and that's the recipe to winning big matchups to run the

05:46football, win the turnover battle, get quarterback

05:48pressures and they did that on Sunday.
