The Philadelphia Eagles have clinched the Super Bowl championship for the second time in franchise history, delivering an astounding performance by defeating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX, held in New Orleans on Sunday night. A standout moment came from the Eagles’ defense against three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes, highlighted by rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean’s interception, which he returned for a pick-six in the second quarter.
Here’s how the DeJean pick-six looked and sounded on the Fox television broadcast featuring Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady:
