3 star QBs, including top MVP candidates, will skip Pro Bowl Games after failing to make Super Bowl

The NFL was on a quest to find replacements for next weekend’s Pro Bowl Games after three stars opted out.

Normally, those who do not make the Super Bowl will head to the Pro Bowl.

But three playoff quarterbacks will be staying home this year.

Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen and Jayden Daniels have all opted out.

Jackson’s Baltimore Ravens fell to Allen’s Buffalo Bills, 27-25, in the divisional round. Allen again lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs and is now 0-4 against them in the postseason.

Daniels and the Washington Commanders were walloped by the Philadelphia Eagles, 55-23, in the NFC title game.

Jackson and Allen figure to be the top two finishers in the NFL MVP voting. It’s likely they’ll be in New Orleans next week, but not for the reason they had hoped.

Gisele Bündchen congratulated Eagles on Super Bowl LII win over Tom Brady, Alshon Jeffery says

The Philadelphia Eagles are looking for their second Super Bowl win, and once again they are looking to do it against an all-time great quarterback.

Their first win, coming against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots seven years ago, was met with praise not only from fans, but also a famed opposing WAG.

Former Eagles wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey claimed that Tom Brady’s ex-wife, Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen, ran into him after he helped defeat her husband’s team and congratulated him on the win.

“After all the interviews, the craziest part is I run into Gisele afterwards, and she said, ‘Congratulations.’ I’m like, ‘Oh shoot.’ I didn’t really know what to say so I just say, ‘Thank you!’” Jeffrey said during an interview on Johnny Manziel’s podcast “Glory Daze,” a production of Almost Friday Media.

Jeffrey’s recollection of his encounter with Bundchen is a stark contrast to the super model’s reaction after Brady’s previous Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants in February 2012.

After that game, paparazzi confronted Bundchen about Brady’s loss, and she responded with an infamous vulgar tirade in defense of her then-husband.

“My husband cannot f—ing throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time,” she said, referring to a costly drop by Wes Welker later in that game that help set up the Giants for a game-winning drive.

But she maintained a very different tone after the Eagles loss in 2018, according to Jeffrey.

Brady and Bundchen went on to get divorced in October 2022, after the quarterback came out of retirement to play one more NFL season.

Now, the current Eagles team is looking to hand a similar loss to Mahomes that the 2017 team did to Brady.

Mahomes’ wife, Brittany Mahomes, has been one of her husband’s staunchest defenders after big games.

Brittany has also had to endure the process of handling a Super Bowl loss already, and wasn’t handing out congratulations to anyone.

After ESPN shared a screenshot that showed Patrick looking dejected in the fourth quarter of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LV loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in February 2021, she went on a social media tirade against the network.

“Cool ESPN, love the support of a major sports platform for one of the best players in the league.” she wrote while quote-tweeting the ESPN X (then known as Twitter) post, including corn emojis to suggest the network was being “corny.”

Later in the quarter, the X account for ESPN’s flagship program, SportsCenter, posted a different close-up shot of Patrick staring into space.

“Y’all are [trash emojis] for this too, but he looks damn good to me,” she wrote.

Brittany fired off a post on her Instagram account after the Chiefs’ 32-29 win over the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game on Sunday. She re-shared an image of Bills fans hanging a Kermit the Frog doll dressed as her husband from a noose before the two teams met in Week 11.

“Do we remember this Buffalo? Absolutely disgusting… So as you go home tonight, I pray we become better people,” she wrote in the post.

After the Chiefs’ win over the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, she fired off a social media post aimed at former NFL star Bart Scott’s prediction the team would miss the playoffs that season.

Super Bowl LIX jersey colors announced for Chiefs-Eagles rematch

One of the first big reveals for this year’s Super Bowl has been dropped.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles have announced their jersey choices for this year’s game in New Orleans.

Just as they did for their Super Bowl matchup two seasons ago, the Chiefs will wear their white uniforms, while the Eagles will wear “midnight green” Feb. 9 at the Caesars Superdome.

The city of Philadelphia announced the Eagles’ jersey selection, which will feature the Super Bowl LXI patch, on social media.

Since the Caesars Superdome is the home of the New Orleans Saints, the Eagles are considered the home team as the NFC representative. So, the Eagles got to choose which jersey they want to wear first.

The Eagles are hoping for a different result in their green threads in this Super Bowl against the Chiefs after losing the 2023 Super Bowl 38-35 in Arizona, which began the Chiefs’ historic run for a possible three-peat.

Harrison Butker kicked a game-winning field goal after an infamous holding call on Eagles cornerback James Bradberry, who turned Juju Smith-Schuster’s shoulder, impeding him from catching a deep ball. The flag allowed the Chiefs to run out the clock before Butker iced the victory.

Teams that wear white have won 16 of the last 20 Super Bowls and 64% of all Super Bowls, according to CBS Sports.

The San Francisco 49ers were one of those four teams that wore white and lost after Mecole Hardman scored an overtime touchdown to seal back-to-back Super Bowl wins for Kansas City last season.

One of the biggest storylines in this Super Bowl is the Chiefs’ bid at a three-peat.

The last team in position for a three-peat was the Tom Brady-led New England Patriots, who fell in 2005 before even reaching the AFC championship. They lost to the Denver Broncos in the divisional round.

Tom Brady clears the air on feelings toward Super Bowl champ Nick Foles during Eagles NFC title win

The Philadelphia Eagles dominated the Washington Commanders in this past Sunday’s NFC Championship game to earn a spot in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans.

Seven-time Super Bowl winner and FOX Sports broadcaster Tom Brady was in the broadcast booth at Lincoln Financial Field for the Eagles’ 55-23 victory.

At one point during the playoff game, television cameras panned to former Eagles quarterback and Super Bowl LII MVP Nick Foles, who was sitting in one of the stadium’s suites.

Spotting Foles in the crowd prompted Brady, who suffered one of his three career Super Bowl defeats to the Foles-led Eagles, to recall the infamous loss.

While Brady has appeared in a record 10 Super Bowls, Foles and Eli Manning are the only starting quarterbacks to have knocked off the decorated former NFL star in the big game.

Brady used Foles’ NFC title game appearance as an opportunity to admit he does not harbor any jealousy toward the former Eagles signal caller. “Nick, I don’t hate you. I’m just jealous of you. You caught it, I didn’t,” Brady said after FOX Sports lead play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt jokingly asked Brady if he knew who Foles competed against in the Super Bowl in February 2018.

Brady’s “you caught it” comment referenced the famous “Philly Special” trick play during Super Bowl LII. Foles lined up in the backfield on the play, before offensive lineman Jason Kelce snapped the ball to running back Corey Clement.

The running back then pitched the ball to tight end Trey Burton, who found Foles in the end zone for a one-yard touchdown. Foles wrote his name in history books by becoming the first player in Super Bowl history to throw and catch a touchdown pass in the NFL’s annual championship game.

While Foles successfully hauled in the pass thrown his way during Super Bowl LII, Brady failed to catch a pass from one of his wide receivers later in that same game. Eagles fans have not let Brady forget about dropping what would have been a first down.

“I get reminded of that play every time I see an Eagles fan,” Brady said via SiriusXM in 2022.

“I sure as hell can’t catch anything, everyone’s seen that drop against the Eagles in the Super Bowl, but I can throw it a little bit,” Brady joked in 2021 – his second season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers – during a postgame interview.

Brady won six Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots, before winning his seventh championship with the Buccaneers. In February 2023, Brady announced he was retiring “for good.”

Foles’ second stint with the Eagles ended after the 2018 season. He went on to play for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts. He last appeared in an NFL game in 2022.

The Eagles drafted quarterback Jalen Hurts in the second round in 2020. Hurts helped the Eagles advance to Super Bowl LVII, but suffered a 38-35 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in that game. This year’s big game, on Feb. 9 in New Orleans, will be a rematch of the Super Bowl from two years ago.

A victory over the Eagles would secure an unprecedented third consecutive Super Bowl title for the Chiefs. But, if Philly is victorious, it would mark the franchise’s second Super Bowl championship.

Ex-NFL star Julian Edelman makes bold Tom Brady Super Bowl LIX prediction

Former New England Patriots star Julian Edelman will be covering the Super Bowl as an analyst for FOX Sports when Super Bowl LIX takes place on Feb. 9 in New Orleans.

Edelman will also get to work alongside, in some capacity, with his former teammate Tom Brady, as the legendary quarterback will be on the call with Kevin Burkhardt when the Kansas City Chiefs look to make history against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The game will put the finishing touches on Brady’s first full season as a broadcaster. He will get to put everything he has learned over the course of the season into a finished product with millions of viewers set to tune in to the FOX broadcast and the Tubi livestream of the game.

Edelman appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends” and had high expectations for the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

“I guarantee he’s probably going to be very fired up,” Edelman said. “He’s probably going to be imagining himself in those situations.

“I think it’s going to be a great performance by him because he’s gonna get to show us inside looks to things only he knows Patrick Mahomes is going through.”

Brady has reportedly been barred from meeting with teams ahead of the game, which is usually reserved for broadcasters to gather knowledge to help them through their calls, because of his minority ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders.

The former Patriots wide receiver said he believed Brady would be able to persevere without those meetings.

“I’m sure he can figure it out on his own. I’m pretty confident coaches and players of the other team don’t mind talking to Tom Brady,” he said.

Patrick Mahomes may make ‘argument’ for NFL GOAT with 3rd straight Super Bowl title, legendary kicker says

Adam Vinatieri, who played Super Bowl hero with Tom Brady and the New England Patriots and also won a title with the Indianapolis Colts and Peyton Manning, suggested in a recent interview that Patrick Mahomes is making an “argument” for greatest NFL player of all time.

Vinatieri was asked whether Mahomes is close to surpassing Brady, who won six Super Bowl titles with the Patriots and another with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when it comes to the greatest of all time (GOAT) conversation.

The former kicker said there’s an “argument” to be made.

“There’s definitely an argument for that. I cringe to say that because I’ve been around some of the best players, best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL and I love Tom and Peyton. I’ve never played with Patrick, but I can only assume if you’re his teammate, you feel exactly the same way about him as I feel about those guys,” he told TMZ Sports.

“I’ve always said, Tom’s got seven Super Bowls, until someone does something that he hasn’t, he’s still the man. But we’re getting to something even Tom, even the great Tom Brady, and Bill Belichick, and that team has not done. If they can pull it off, I dare say you got an argument. You definitely have an argument. And people will say, ‘Oh, you know, Joe Montana, this or that,’ and I don’t think we could ever agree on who is the best ever, but Patrick is right there, and that whole team.”

Vinatieri credited Andy Reid and the organization with how it dealt with a bevy of challenges over the last few seasons to keep the Chiefs in the running for a Super Bowl.

This year alone, Kansas City was hit with injuries at the wide receiver position. Rashee Rice and Marquise Brown missed most of the year.

“Andy Reid, one of the greatest coaches. You can’t go seven years straight and three Super Bowls straight without making a damn good game plan week in and week out, dealing with injuries, dealing with free agency and then continue to be able to do it. It’s super impressive no matter who is looking through the hourglass at that,” Vinatieri said.

He added that the Chiefs going to the Super Bowl and potentially becoming the first team to win three consecutive titles is “absolutely crazy.”

“When you have a quarterback like Patrick Mahomes that can pull magic out of a hat over and over and over again, it blows me away,” he said. “In the beginning of the season, they’re winning games but barely. And I’m like, ‘Do they have what it takes again this year?’ Sure enough, it just keeps going and they beat really good teams all the time the way that they do it.

“Can’t say enough good stuff and if they can ‘three-peat,’ the first team to ever do it, I will take my hat off and say, ‘My gosh!’ You wanna talk about dynasties, I’ve been a part of teams they called dynasties, and if they can pull this one off, you’ve got 100% of my respect for sure.”

Jason Kelce showed where his loyalty lies in Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl as old ‘New Heights’ clip resurfaces

The last time the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles were in the Super Bowl, history was made with the first brothers playing in the “Big Game.”

This time around, Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce will not be seeing his older brother, Jason Kelce, on the Philadelphia Eagles sideline.

So, with no stake in the game, where does Jason’s loyalty lie: With his brother and the Chiefs or with the team he played all his 13 seasons for?

Well, a clip from their “New Heights” podcast last March has surfaced again because Jason gave an answer to a fan question about who he would root for if the Chiefs and Eagles would play in the Super Bowl in 2025.

“I will root for the Eagles, of course,” Jason answered.

“This is bulls—,” Travis responded.

Can anyone blame Jason after what he accomplished as an Eagles legend?

“Because I will always be an Eagle,” he said. “First and foremost. I’ll also root for Travis to have a good game, of course, cause he’s my brother, but nah, I’ll definitely be cheering on the Eagles.”

Will that change now that it has become a reality? “New Heights” episodes are released every Wednesday, so fans could find out this week.

The Eagles will have someone in their backfield they did not have before – running back Saquon Barkley. Out of all the NFL MVP finalists this season, he is the last man standing in the playoffs. He has broken off huge runs for the Eagles and has been a huge factor in why Philadelphia has gotten as far as they have this year.

The major storyline for some will be about the Chiefs as they look to do something unprecedented – win three consecutive Super Bowl titles. Kansas City is also the first team to even get an opportunity to compete for it.

Mahomes commented on the possibility of entering a different stratosphere compared to other quarterbacks after defeating the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship.

“It always comes down to the wire. Luckily, we were on the winning side this time. But like I said, I’m just excited to get down to New Orleans,” Mahomes said. “Let’s go make history.”

Saquon Barkley lives up to Eagles promise as they reach Super Bowl

Green and white confetti filled Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Sunday night just as the Eagles had planned – they were going to Super Bowl LIX.

The Eagles are returning to the “Big Game,” aiming for revenge against the Kansas City Chiefs, who are not only trying to make NFL history but beat Philadelphia in Super Bowl LVII to begin this dynasty.

For some of these Eagles, though, it’s the first time they’re getting a chance at the Vince Lombardi Trophy, and superstar running back Saquon Barkley is one of them.

When Barkley signed with the Eagles in free agency, after spending six seasons with the NFC East-rival New York Giants, he made a promise to get to the Super Bowl. Now that it’s actually happened, Barkley’s next goal is a simple one: Beat the Chiefs.

“That was one of the first conversations I had with [Eagles GM] Howie [Roseman],” Barkley said, via CBS Sports, after the 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders. “That was the conversation I had with my family. I came to Philly to be a part of games like this. Nothing better than a game when you can advance to the Super Bowl, so I’m super excited about that.”

Barkley certainly did his part in helping his team get the ticket to New Orleans, scoring three touchdowns and rushing over 100 yards yet again in this career-best campaign he continues adding to.

Barkley is on the cusp of history himself, as he appears destined to break the NFL record for most rushing yards in a season, including the playoffs, which Hall of Famer Terrell Davis currently owns with 2,476 yards. Barkley has 2,447 after his 118 yards on Sunday.

He got most of them on the Eagles’ first offensive snap of the game – a 60-yard rush where he broke multiple Commanders tackle attempts to find the end zone for the 7-3 lead. That marked his third touchdown of 60 yards or more this postseason – the most in NFL history.

Individual history is great to have, as Barkley has mentioned wanting to be in the same conversation as Davis, Barry Sanders, Eric Dickerson and many other running back elites the moment the Giants took him second overall out of Penn State.

But Barkley’s team-first approach has always shined bright, and winning it all means everything.

“I’ve always known who I am,” he said. “I’ve always known the type of player I’ve become. Sometimes it takes longer than others. I didn’t envision it taking seven years. I didn’t even envision it being in Philly. I thought it’d be in New York.
