The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 to win Super Bowl LVIII, securing their second championship in franchise history and first since 2017.
Former President Barack Obama congratulated the Eagles on social media following their victory over the two-time defending champions.
“Second time’s the charm,” Obama tweeted. “Congrats to the Eagles, Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, Nick Sirianni and an outstanding defense for winning one for Philly. You earned it!”
The Eagles’ defense contained Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, ending Kansas City’s bid to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
Saquon Barkley, celebrating his birthday, completed a storybook journey. The Pennsylvania native starred at Penn State before joining the New York Giants, then signed with his hometown Eagles before the 2023 season.
The victory establishes Philadelphia as the NFC’s dominant force, with two Super Bowl appearances in the last three seasons.
