8 hidden facts and details of the Eagles' Super Bowl ring
The Eagles unveiled their Super Bowl rings commemorating their championship on Friday night as players received their rings in a team ceremony. Players were sized for their rings and selected designs during the locker room cleanout and exit interviews with the media in February.
The Super Bowl LIX Championship Ring was crafted by Jason of Beverly Hills, measuring 41 millimeters in diameter and featuring a total of 12 carats in diamonds, with a combined weight of 140 grams. The ring is composed of white gold and features a green sapphire, symbolizing the Eagles' performance.
With training camp just days away, we're examining eight hidden facts and details about the glitzy design.
Top of the ring
The top of the ring has two Lombardi Trophies for the two Super Bowls the Eagles have won since 2017. One side of the ring has the 40-22 final score from February. The other side of Hurts' ring has his name and jersey number.
Middle inscription
The middle inscription displays the final score of all four postseason matchups, beginning with the Wild Card win over the Packers and concluding with the Super Bowl win over Kansas City.
Wings that pop out
The rings also include a mechanism that allows the 'WINGS' to pop out of the ring and expand.
18 wins on the way to Super Bowl glory
Philadelphia went 14-3 during the regular season and then won four more postseason games. To commemorate that journey, every ring has 18 stones at the top.
Player name
Every player has their name and signature on the dazzling ring.
Ten points of diamonds
Philadelphia went on a ten-game win streak after starting the season out 2-2, and the franchise had ten diamonds placed at the top of the ring to commemorate the streak.
Brazilian Flag
Things started off with an impressive win over the Packers in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and the team celebrated that achievement by including a Brazilian Flag above the final score from their four playoff wins.
Coach Siriani's message
We highlighted the wings that protrude from the rings, and they feature an engraved message from head coach Nick Sirianni.
"You can't be great without the greatness of others"
There are 0.9 carats on those wings to represent six sacks and three takeaways in the Super Bowl.

DeForest Buckner with very honest evaluation of Colts' defense in 2024
DT DeForest Buckner was very honest about the play of the Colts' defense in 2024. Indianapolis Colts' defensive tackle DeForest Buckner spoke with the media on Tuesday. When discussing the play of the defense during the 2024 season, Buckner was very honest about what took place on the field. "That was the worst defense for a season that we've had since I've been here," Buckner said, via the Indy Star. "It doesn't matter who you are, your name is attached to that. It doesn't matter how good of a season you had personally. My name is on that. I have a lot to prove this year." The Colts finished last season allowing 25.1 points per game, which ranked 24th in the NFL. They allowed the ninth most rushing yards on the year and were one of the worst tackling teams in football. Against the passing game, Indianapolis ranked in the bottom third of the NFL in yards per pass allowed, completion rate, passer rating, and pass deflections. But going beyond the overall numbers and rankings, the Colts' defensive performance for the 2024 season was defined by their late-season matchup against the New York Giants. Needing a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, the Colts' defense surrendered 38 points to a Giants' offense that was averaging just over 14 points per game on the year. So, how do the Colts overcome the challenges and inconsistent play that they experienced throughout 2024? "Everybody needs to buy in and believe in the one goal we're trying to accomplish," Buckner said via Locked on Colts. "And that's to win a Super Bowl and being able to do whatever it takes and doing your job without anybody's egos getting attached to it. If you mess up, just admit to it and move on from it. That's how we get better. You gotta be able to take criticism." To help accomplish this, the Colts made a number of changes on defense this offseason. Head coach Shane Steichen moved on from defensive coordinator Gus Bradley and the team hired Lou Anarumo. Schematically under Anarumo, we are going to see a much more aggressive and disguise-heavy scheme that will be malleable and throw a variety of looks at opponents. Off the field the Colts are getting a very to-the-point coach who is going to be direct about everything. "I just love how blunt he is," Buckner said of Anarumo. "He's straight to the point and don't sugarcoat nothing, and that's the type of coach that I've always loved throughout my career. "How am I supposed to know how to get better if my coach doesn't tell me? It doesn't matter who you are--All-Pro, Pro Bowl or to the lowest guy on the totem pole, Lou is going to tell you if you messed up and tell you that's not how he wants it and he's going to tell you this is the way you should do it. That's what I appreciate about him." Along with adding Anarumo as defensive coordinator, GM Chris Ballard was aggressive early on in free agency, signing safety Cam Bynum and cornerback Charvarius Ward to bolster the play of the secondary. Both have won at the NFL level, have good ball production in their careers, and are versatile, able to fill a variety of roles, which will be a key element to playing Anarumo's secondary. "I'm excited about those guys and what we were able to do this offseason in free agency and in the draft," Buckner said of Bynum and Ward. "Adding competition to the group only makes the team better. It makes guys in the room play harder, and that's what you want. You want guys fighting for a spot." All eyes will be on the Colts' quarterback situation, but improved play on defense will make the job of whoever starts and the offense as a whole much easier by limiting points and getting off the field to give the offense additional possessions.

Vikings report for camp realizing the hard work required to better a 14-win season
Associated Press EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings were just hours into their offseason, eliminated from the playoffs with a lopsided loss, when Jonathan Greenard was moved to challenge himself and his teammates to embrace the hard work of trying to better a 14-4 record and avoid another one-and-done. 'More is required,' the veteran edge rusher posted on social media. Three months later, Greenard's spontaneous slogan turned into a T-shirt. The motivational swag was waiting for every player at his locker upon arrival for the start of strength and conditioning sessions in the spring. 'You can only control your individual effort, and as long as you do that, you're going to pull somebody else and they're going to see that and it's going to be infectious for the whole team, the whole building,' Greenard said earlier in the offseason, explaining the purpose of spreading the word beyond a simple tweet. The mantra has resonated throughout a well-regarded organization that will again field a well-built roster in 2025 but still faces questions about its viability as a championship contender. The Vikings, of course, are one of the few NFL teams that have existed for the entire Super Bowl era but never won one. 'Because clearly that scale hasn't been tipped for us,' right tackle Brian O'Neill said, 'and we need to find a way to make that happen.' As players reported to training camp this week, coach Kevin O'Connell turned up the volume on the messaging. General manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and O'Connell each signed contract extensions during the offseason, keeping their job statuses in sync as they embark on their fourth year together while also raising the bar for expectations. The Vikings have not won a playoff game since they arrived, a drought going back to the 2019 season. 'We feel proud of some of the things we've accomplished, but at the same time I think it's time for all of us to continue to look inward first,' O'Connell said Tuesday at a joint news conference with Adofo-Mensah to formally kick off the season. 'It's time for us to acknowledge what we're actually trying to build here, and what that's going to take is — in my opinion — an invisible presence of understanding that we're capable but we've got to put in a lot of work to feel totally worthy in those moments to get to where we want to get to.' Darrisaw highlights list of healthy players The Vikings started only two players on the physically unable to perform list: tight end Gavin Bartholomew (back), their sixth-round draft pick, and linebacker Chaz Chambliss (foot), an undrafted rookie. That means left tackle Christian Darrisaw, who's recovering from reconstructive knee surgery after tearing his ACL last year, and new right guard Will Fries, whose 2024 season with the Indianapolis Colts ended early because of a broken leg, are right on track. O'Connell said both players would likely be limited to individual drills at the beginning of training camp to complete the ramping-up process, but the likelihood of having both key blockers ready for Week 1 is a vital boost for quarterback J.J. McCarthy. Addison could face suspension after resolution of court case Wide receiver Jordan Addison last week pleaded guilty to a lesser charge that resolved his 2024 drunken driving citation, clearing the way for potential discipline from the league. Adofo-Mensah said the Vikings have not been given an indication about the timing of such a decision. 'Obviously, when that originally happened, we knew that it was a possibility, but really you're talking about team building in general: You might not have players on the field for various reasons, and you've always got to be ready with depth," Adofo-Mensah said. ___ AP NFL: recommended Item 1 of 3
