The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions, putting an emphatic end to the Kansas City Chiefs’ three-peat attempt with a 40-22 win in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday night.

It is the Eagles’ second championship, and it happened thanks to one of the single most dominant defensive performances in Super Bowl history.

They limited the Chiefs to just 275 total yards and did not allow them to cross mid-field until late in the third quarter, while also sacking Patrick Mahomes six times and forcing three turnovers. The overwhelming majority of the yards the Chiefs did get, as well as almost all of their points, came in garbage time when the game was already easily decided.

Here are some takeaways from the Eagles’ win and their championship performance.

Building from the lines out pays off

The addition of running back Saquon Barkley got all of the headlines before the season, and it dominated the headlines as he tried to chase down Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record. But for as great as Barkley is, this championship was won on the lines.

Specifically the defensive line.

The Eagles spent years making significant investments in both the offensive and defensive lines, both through the draft and free agency, and it paid off in a huge way on the NFL’s biggest stage on Sunday night.

Philadelphia not only dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball, it completely bullied the back-to-back champions and took over the game.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts had all day to pass and was rarely pressured.

Mahomes was under constant pressure all night and never really had a chance, even though the Eagles never blitzed. It was just constant, relentless pressure from a four-man rush.

If you can get to a quarterback that relentlessly with only four pass-rushers, you have a great chance of winning. The Eagles have that, and they played their best game of the season at the biggest time.

Saquon Barkley sets a record

Barkley may not have been able to get the regular season rushing record, but he did get an NFL record for most rushing yards in a regular season and postseason combined.

Barkley did not have a great game on Sunday, but the Eagles did not need him to carry the offense or the team. The lines, Jalen Hurts and the defense as a whole did more than enough to easily secure the win.

With his 57 rushing yards on Sunday, combined with his 2,005 during the regular season, Barkley finished with 2,504 combined yards between the regular season and playoffs. Truly a dominant season and one of the best for a running back. He has the Super Bowl ring to go with it.

Eagles’ young defense is going to make them a force for a long time

The Eagles defense progressively improved all season, and Sunday’s Super Bowl performance was their masterpiece.

What should be terrifying for the rest of the NFC is that this group is not only one of the best in the NFL, it is also incredibly young.

Six players started at least nine games this season who are age 24 or younger, including rookie defensive backs Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell.

DeJean made one of the signature plays of Super Bowl LIX with his pick-six of Mahomes early in the second quarter.

Jalen Hurts joins exclusive club

Where Hurts ranks among the NFL’s elite quarterbacks is certainly up for debate, but no matter where you want to put him there is one thing you have to say about him at this point — he is now officially a winner.

A major winner.

So much so, that he has now joined a very exclusive club that only Joe Montana and Joe Namath are a part of. That club is the quarterbacks that have won both a national championship in college and a Super Bowl in the NFL.

The Eagles are now 52-23 in games Hurts has started in his career and played in two Super Bowls. Now they have a Super Bowl win to go with that.
