Earlier this month, the Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl LIX (which means 59 in Roman numerals) against the Kansas City Chiefs. Many people in the U.S. celebrated the win because this marked the end of the Chiefs’ winning streak at the Super Bowl or, as others would say, “three-peat.” This is the second time in NFL history that the Eagles have won the Super Bowl. The last time they won the Super Bowl was in 2018 against the New England Patriots. Many important events happened during the Super Bowl this year, so let’s discuss it.
During the game, there were two players whose birthday was on the Super Bowl: running back Saquon Barkley and cornerback Cooper DeJean, both from the Philadelphia Eagles. Many people say that this is one of the greatest birthday presents: winning the Super Bowl on your birthday. What was also amazing was when DeJean scored his very viral touchdown during the 2nd quarter of the game, which increased the gap between the Eagles and the Chiefs in points.
While we are talking about the Super Bowl, we can’t forget about Kendrick Lamar’s popular Super Bowl halftime performance with SZA. There were many reactions to the halftime show, but the majority of the halftime show was well-received, with 127 million views. While the halftime show was going on, many people found out Kendrick’s political message during the show, which is somewhat controversial with Samual L. Jackson playing as Uncle Sam and Kendrick’s choice of words and songs that were played. Along with that, many famous people came to the Super Bowl, which were Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, Sernrea Willams, and more celebrities that were there.
In conclusion, this year’s Super Bowl was very eventful and a sweeping win for the Eagles. Compared to the last time that they were at the Super Bowl back in 2023 when they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, this year’s rematch was their year to win.
