The Philadelphia Eagles are champions again -- in dominant fashion.
The Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 on Sunday night in Super Bowl LIX. It's the second Super Bowl victory in franchise history for the Eagles, who also won in 2018. The Eagles are the second team in NFL history with multiple 40-point games in the Super Bowl.
Philadelphia's defense forced three turnovers -- all from the hands of Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes -- and held Kansas City scoreless in the first half. The Eagles sacked Mahomes six times, one shy of tying a Super Bowl record.
Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns, and also ran for 72 yards and a score. Hurts was selected Super Bowl MVP. Mahomes threw for 257 yards, 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions.
Here's how the sports world reacted to the Eagles win.

Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson made sure to chime in, as well as noted Eagles fans and New York Knicks teammates Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns.
Congratulations to the entire Eagles team, Head Coach Nick Sirianni, and Owner Jeffrey Lurie on their Super Bowl Championship!

Congrats to the eagles winning the Super Bowl. I think MVP goes to Jalen Hurts. Unsung hero goes to the eagles D line and defense. I think KC O Line had a tough night tonight and that's why they had the result they did. Great year from both teams nonetheless. #SuperBowl...

There's no shortage of Division I talent on the Eagles, led by the Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs.
