He joined ESPN in 2016 after covering the Eagles for Philadelphia Magazine’s Birds 24\/7, a site he helped create, since 2010.<\/p>\n KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Philadelphia Eagles<\/a> got the final word during a hotly contested Super Bowl rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a> on Sunday that was intense to the very end.<\/p>\n Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones<\/a> was heard on the broadcast razzing Saquon Barkley<\/a> for not reaching 100 yards rushing in the waning moments of the Eagles’ 20-17<\/a> victory at Arrowhead Stadium.<\/p>\n Just before taking a knee to ice the game, quarterback Jalen Hurts<\/a> fired back: “We won the f—ing game.”<\/p>\n Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson<\/a> said after the game that Jones “said a lot of stuff out there.”<\/p>\n Editor’s Picks<\/p>\n 2 Related<\/p>\n “He’s probably one of the best s— talkers in the league. Top notch,” Johnson said.<\/p>\n Kansas City’s bid to exact a little revenge from its 40-22 loss in February, though, fell short. The turning point came early in the fourth quarter when, with the Chiefs trailing 13-10, tight end Travis Kelce<\/a> failed to haul in Patrick Mahomes<\/a>‘ pass near the goal line, the ball caroming off his hands and into the possession of rookie safety Drew Mukuba<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Eagles scored on the ensuing possession and were able to hold off a late surge to improve to 2-0 and drop Kansas City to 0-2.<\/p>\n “I think that’s the most important thing is finding a way to win,” said Hurts, who improved to 48-20 as a starter during the regular season. “Given the competitive nature of the game and how our games have gone when we’ve played this team — it’s a really good team, we’ve got a ton of respect for them obviously — but you’ve got to come in with a sense of focus, you’ve got to stay patient within yourself, stay patient within the team and your role, and let things come to you. And I think as a team, we showed up when we needed to the most.”<\/p>\n
