1:00.6	Super Bowl 59. I fully expected a close game. We did not get a close game. Eagles 40,
1:07.9	Kansas City Chiefs 22 at Caesar Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday evening, and the game
1:14.1	wasn't even that close. You know, for years, we as Washington fans could say that the Eagles had

2:13.8	Week 16 of the 2024 regular season.
2:17.3	B, the best performance by a quarterback against the Eagles in this now concluded NFL postseason was by the commanders, Jaden Daniels.
