FAITH FIRST: Philadelphia Eagles stars give thanks to God after their commanding Super Bowl LIX triumph over the Kansas City Chiefs.

Following their decisive 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025, key figures from the Philadelphia Eagles openly expressed their gratitude to God.
Head coach Nick Sirianni, in a post-game interview, stated, “God’s blessed us very much. He gave us all the talents to be able to get here, so first and foremost, thanks to Him.”
Quarterback Jalen Hurts, who was named the game’s Most Valuable Player, echoed this sentiment during the trophy presentation, saying, “God is good. He’s greater than all the highs and the lows.”
This public acknowledgment of faith is not new for the Eagles. In previous seasons, players like linebacker Haason Reddick have emphasized the role of their beliefs in their professional journeys. Reddick once remarked, “I don’t think you could get here without God. Truly, He’s been working through me and with me my whole journey.”
The team’s culture of faith and unity has been highlighted in past championship runs as well. After their Super Bowl LII win in 2018, former head coach Doug Pederson and quarterback Nick Foles also gave glory to God, underscoring the spiritual foundation within the organization.
The consistent expressions of faith by the Eagles’ leadership and players underscore a team culture that values spirituality and gratitude, both in moments of victory and adversity.
