Philadelphia Eagles Unveil Unreal Super Bowl LIX Rings That Include Wings
On the top of the ring is Philadelphia's logo with a pair of Super Bowl trophies, representing the franchise's two Super Bowl triumphs: Super Bowl LII (2017 NFL season) and Super Bowl LIX (2024 NFL season).
One side of the ring has a player's individual number and last name on top of Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia's home stadium, with their respective signatures also included. Another side of the ring lists the scores of each of the Eagles' four playoff wins.
Meanwhile, the ring has wings, with "YOU CAN'T BE GREAT WITHOUT" engraved on the left wing and "THE GREATNESS OF OTHERS" engraved on the right wing.
Philadelphia defeated the Green Bay Packers (22-10), Los Angeles Rams (28-22) and NFC East-rival Washington Commanders (55-23) before taking down the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX (40-22), which came two years after the Chiefs beat the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII. Quarterback and two-time Pro Bowler Jalen Hurts was the MVP of Super Bowl LIX.
Elsewhere, superstar running back Saquon Barkley, who spent the first six years of his career with the NFC East-rival New York Giants, rushed for an NFL-high 2,005 yards on a career-high 5.8 yards per carry in the regular season, becoming the ninth player in NFL history to post 2,000 rushing yards in a single season. Barkley then set the NFL record for combined rushing yards in a single season (regular season plus postseason), finishing with 2,504 yards on the ground.
On the other side of the ball, linebacker Zack Baun totaled 151 combined tackles and five forced fumbles, while fellow linebacker Nakobe Dean totaled 128 combined tackles. Defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson had a team-high six interceptions, while rookie defensive back Cooper DeJean had a pick-six in Super Bowl LIX.
In total, the Eagles were seventh in the NFL with 27.2 points and eighth with 367.2 total yards per game. Defensively, they were first with 278.4 total yards surrendered and second with 17.8 points surrendered per game.

A former NFL champion shares his daily routine to stay fit at 37 — with open water swimming and 200 grams of protein a day
When James Develin retired from the NFL in 2020 after seven seasons (and three Super Bowl wins) with the New England Patriots, it wasn't long before he started looking for the next big challenge. To stay in elite athlete shape after retirement, Develin knew he needed some structure to replace the typical training cycle of the NFL and giving him something to work toward. That meant a marathon and, most recently, a Navy SEAL-style open water swim — grueling events to inspire his multiple workouts a day. "I didn't have a season to start preparing for, so it was a little bit harder to put myself through two-a-days and three-a-days," Develin told Business Insider. As a 37-year-old father of four, Develin is conscious about retaining his strength in a sustainable way. He shared his daily routine with Business Insider — a regimen of running, swimming, and lifting, along with a high-protein diet worthy of his NFL days. From NFL training to Navy SEAL swims Less than a year after retiring from pro football, Develin took on distance running, completing his first Boston Marathon in 2021. In 2023, Develin met an even more ambitious match for his athletic aspirations when his father-in-law signed up for the Navy SEAL Foundation NYC SEAL Swim. The annual fundraiser is held honor of veterans and lives lost in the September 11, 2001 attacks. "I can run, I can lift, I can do all that stuff, but swimming was not my forte and it still isn't. It's been fun to push my own personal limits," he said. The event combines strenuous open water swimming through the turbulent waters of the Hudson with multiple rounds of push-ups and pull-ups, scenic views of the Statue of Liberty, and a race to the finish at the World Trade Center. The SEAL Swim requires grit, endurance, and discipline to complete. Develin decided to join in, despite limited swimming experience and only a month to prepare. "It's such a great patriotic event, but it's also a great test of one's physical prowess, so it checks a lot of boxes for me," Develin said. There's no secret to training for the SEAL swim besides hours and hours of work in the water, according to Develin. "I just started swimming as much as I could every single day. Through the soreness, through the rain days, the day I don't want to do it," he said. Develin, who lives on the Jersey Shore with his wife and four kids, practices in a pool as well as the nearby bay to get experience managing the unpredictability of open water. Develin works out daily for around two or three hours a day, split between shorter sessions of cardio, swimming, and weightlifting to allow him to spend time with his family, too. "I need to sweat before I can really get on with the rest of my day," he said. "I don't really feel like a day was productive unless I get some sort of workout in." Here's a typical day in his routine. Wake up around 5:30 a.m. Hydrate first thing in the morning with a tall glass of water. Supplements: Develin said he goes through phases of trying supplements to find what works, and currently takes amino acids and NAD+ which help with energy and recovery. A morning smoothie provides some protein first thing in the morning. A cardio workout is first on the agenda, typically a long run. After his workout, Develin wakes up his kids and gets them ready for the day before sitting down to breakfast of high-protein staples such as eggs. For a midday workout Develin hits the gym to lift weights for 45 minutes, sometime between 11 am and 2 p.m. Lunch is often a casual, on-the-go option like sandwiches. Often Develin fits in an evening workout to practice swimming, if he can find the time For dinner, Develin gets to sit down and "live a little" since his wife is Italian and loves to cook. The evening meal is often pasta with homemade sauce and more protein (like chicken or beef). Develin is in bed by 10:30 p.m. most nights to get a solid s even hours of sleep. In total, he aims to eat more than 200 grams of protein daily, about a gram of protein per pound of body weight, to help maintain muscle and strength. In the NFL, Develin's job was to absorb and deliver tremendous amounts of force as a fullback. "You have to go out there and be ready for impact constantly," he said. He's kept the same mindset of pushing himself ever since, aiming to stave off aging with constant movement and new challenges, even when his body is a little slower to bounce back than it used to be. "I recover eventually. It just might take a little bit longer now than it did when I was 30, but I just keep grinding," Develin said. "It's good for your endurance, it's good for your mental fortitude, and that's what works for me."

Why is Vegas so high on the Patriots … but the national media isn't?
FOXBORO, Mass. — Optimism abounds here as training camp opens for the New England Patriots. A new coach and second-year quarterback have a way of doing that. Add in an easy schedule, and hope among the locals is high for what the 2025 NFL season could bring. But I was struck recently by how that doesn't seem to match the national narrative, even as BetMGM has listed the team's over/under win total at 8.5. In an episode of The Athletic Football Show earlier this month, I was similarly struck by how hosts Derrik Klassen and Dave Helman were shocked by the hopefulness of that prospective win total, suggesting a better number was around 6.5. Advertisement Then last week, our Vic Tafur listed taking the under on the Patriots' win total as one of his best preseason bets. 'We like Mike Vrabel fine,' he wrote, 'but to hear people talk this offseason, the new Patriots coach is a combination of Vince Lombardi and Bill Belichick. … Quarterback Drake Maye and the young secondary of Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis III are fine, but overpaying new defensive players and bringing in (Stefon) Diggs and Shoeless Mack Hollins doesn't add up to nine wins.' Essentially, much of the national discussion comes down to this: Did a team that is 8-27 in its last 35 games really get so much better that it'll challenge that 8.5-win number this season? As the Patriots conduct their first training camp practice on Wednesday (after getting some good news on the injury front Tuesday), let's look at the reasons the Patriots are projected to at least double their win total from last season. LIVE: Mike Vrabel Press Conference 7/22: — New England Patriots (@Patriots) July 22, 2025 Even while recognizing how much the Patriots have improved both on and off the field, this is the most important place to start. Sometimes in the NFL, you're facing an uphill battle simply because of how the schedule shakes out. But the Pats are set up pretty favorably. Based on projected win totals, the Patriots have the second-easiest schedule in the NFL (only the 49ers' is easier). Based on last season's win percentage, they have the third-easiest schedule (only the 49ers' and Saints' are easier). But there's more. Individual games through an 18-week season are so variable that sports books generally don't offer odds for every single game in a season for more than just a brief moment to create headlines. But when those initial odds were posted, the Patriots were favorites in 11 of their 17 games. Advertisement So how then is the over/under only 8.5? That's because the Patriots were narrow favorites in a lot of games, like being favored by only 1.5 against the Steelers in Week 3, the Titans in Week 7 and the Jets in Week 17. Meanwhile, they're heavy underdogs in a few others, getting 8.5 points at Buffalo in Week 5 and at Baltimore in Week 16. Still, this is an easy schedule. They play the relatively weak NFC South as their NFC crossover and the AFC North as their in-conference crossover. That's in addition to a pair of easy games against the last-place finishers from the AFC South (Titans) and NFC East (Giants). Seemingly every year, there's a quarterback who takes a big leap forward in his second season. There are plenty of candidates to do it this season, including Caleb Williams, Michael Penix, Bo Nix and J.J. McCarthy. But why not Maye? The quarterback had the worst situation around him in the NFL last season and still passed the eye test with some high-level throws. If the O-line is stabilized after drafting Will Campbell (and signing Garrett Bradbury and Morgan Moses), Stefon Diggs gives them juice at wide receiver and Josh McDaniels gets more out of the offense, Maye could take a meaningful step forward. There are no definitive rankings of NFL coaching staffs considering all of the immeasurables inherent in the profession. But it's safe to assume the Patriots staff last year would have ranked 32nd in the NFL. It had inexperience across the board. Now, Vrabel brings an experienced and established group that also blends in younger coaches with time spent in a variety of schemes. Vrabel was arguably the most sought-after coach on the market this offseason for a reason. Simply going from Jerod Mayo to Vrabel is a big improvement and a reason for confidence when contemplating whether the Patriots can more than double their 2024 win total. Advertisement A roster that was devoid of talent at so many key spots last season gets a boon from highly drafted players at left tackle, running back and wide receiver, while also adding Diggs, DT Milton Williams, LB Robert Spillane and CB Carlton Davis in free agency. That's not enough to make the Patriots a Super Bowl contender, but it's a meaningful improvement over what the team had last season. Training camp will go a long way in determining how many wins I ultimately predict for the Patriots, but for now, I'm on the fence between eight and nine. While the improved roster and Vrabel's addition help, the weak schedule is the biggest reason to expect more wins. Their non-division home games are against the Browns, Raiders, Steelers, Panthers, Falcons and Giants. Even if this roster isn't one that you'd normally look at and expect nine wins out of, the schedule is soft enough that you can expect them to double last season's win total.

Poles: Jaylon Johnson is going to be out ‘a few weeks' with leg injury
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (WGN) — On day 1 of training camp at Halas Hall, Chicago Bears general manager Ryan Poles announced it'll be a little bit before Jaylon Johnson is back in pads at full-strength. 'It is going to take a few weeks before he can come back. We got a lot of faith that he's going to put in time to rehab and be his full self when he comes back,' Poles said. 'I'm sure we'll have updates as we go through training camp, but it's going to take a little bit of time, but [we're] not overly concerned about long term.' The Bears placed Johnson and three other players (QB Case Keenum, WR Jahdae Walker and RB Ian Wheeler) on the Active/Non-Football Injury (NFI) List Friday, July 19. Keenum was on the NFI list for about 24 hours before he was placed back on the active roster. Poles said Walker and Wheeler were both reactivated Tuesday afternoon. Johnson has made back-to-back Pro Bowls and played in 31 of 34 possible games going back to the beginning of the 2023 NFL regular season. He missed Weeks 4 and 5 in 2023 due to a hamstring injury, and was inactive for Week 17 of the same season against the Green Bay Packers. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
