Philadelphia Eagles Nick Sirianni asked his players to maintain focus through the weekend as they rest their bodies ahead of Sunday’s game against the Chiefs. “Our message and our identity all year has been to play fast, physical and for each other.”

“It feels amazing. The last time I was at one of these was after the 2020 season,when we lost to Tampa. Glad we were able to get the win.It was a tough halftime for us knowing that we were down by 10. Patrick and Kelce did a great job rallying the troops getting us motivated, we scored a touchdown on our first drive.”said Butker.
I love Philadelphia. I love my time in Philadelphia. Phenomenal people, and we had some great years. I left the organization on a positive note with Jeff Lurie and really everybody there. There’s still three of their real good players. There’s still guys that I had a chance to coach and I’m so proud of them for the careers that they’ve had. It’s a great city. It’s a great city. As is Kansas City. I’ve been very fortunate, man. Very, very fortunate.” said Andy Reid on how it feels to win a second Super Bowl and for it to come against his former team.
