Continuing a tradition that dates back to 1987, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts left the good vibes of Sunday night’s Super Bowl victory behind and found himself in “The Most Magical Place on Earth” the following afternoon. “I’m going to Disney World,“ he said after being named MVP of Super Bowl LIX.

Not even Chiefs fatigue or an Eagles blowout could stop the NFL’s momentum.

The fact that the San Francisco 49ers haven’t yet locked quarterback Brock Purdy down via a multiyear contract extension has some wondering if general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan are possibly having second thoughts about paying the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft.  49ers linebacker Fred

For anyone that somehow missed Super Bowl LIX and checked only Eagles running back Saquon Barkley’s stats the next day, they’d likely assume the Chiefs had achieved their three-peat.

The Kansas City Chiefs left Super Bowl LIX hoping to move on as fast as possible from their 40-22 loss against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Chiefs had nothing good to say about their play, which led to rookie WR Xavier Worthy’s historic performance going unnoticed. Worthy recorded 157 receiving yards

The Cowboys continue to refine their offensive coaching staff. ESPN’s Todd Archer reports that the Cowboys will name Steve Shimko as their new quarterbacks coach.
