Why Eagles Aren't Being Respected As Super Bowl Champions?
For a team that won the Super Bowl in dominating fashion, including scoring a combined 95 points in both the conference championship and big game, the Philadelphia Eagles aren't being respected as an all-time great team in league history. The greatest example of this came with ESPN's latest documentary announcement. Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni with Fox NFL Sunday co-host Terry Bradshaw after Super Bowl Burke-Imagn Images The same crew that created Michael Jordan's "The Last Dance" is creating another documentary on the 2024-25 football season. Not on the dominance of the Eagles, though. Advertisement It's on the Kansas City Chiefs and their attempt to become the first team in the Super Bowl era to win three straight titles. It's clear that ESPN was working on the documentary well before Kansas City reached the Super Bowl. But the fact that the network is still going through with the kind of video that is usually reserved for champions is straight up laughable. And shows how much disrespect the Eagles continue to get. As the Eagles blew out the Chiefs 40-22 in February, the big question and comments made were focused on Kansas City's loss. They questioned Patrick Mahomes' legacy, and why Jalen Hurts' age MVP wasn't considered that big of a deal because of the team around him.

And while the Eagles are undoubtedly the defending champions, it is clear that they have even more to prove going into the new season. Simply because of the fact no one is giving them the kind of respect worthy of being the best in the world at this point.

Patrick Mahomes Makes Strong Statement After Big Chiefs News
After winning back-to-back Super Bowls in 2024, Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs couldn't pull off the first-ever three-peat in 2025, falling to the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX. Even with the loss, the Mahomes-led Chiefs have created one of the best dynasties the NFL has ever seen. Since the former Texas Tech quarterback took over the starting role in 2018, Kansas City has played in five Super Bowls, winning three. Advertisement In celebration of the recent dynasty, ESPN revealed a new original series on Tuesday called "The Kingdom." The six-episode docuseries will likely premiere later in 2025 on ESPN and Disney+. Per the Chiefs' official website, the docuseries will "explore the franchise's indelible and distinctive place in the NFL's landscape for more than six decades of history while offering an exclusive, revealing chronicle of the team's extraordinary 2024 season." Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes during Super Bowl Burke-Imagn Images Mahomes helped ESPN unveil the new series at Disney Upfront 2025, which shows future projects the entertainment company has planned. The quarterback took center stage at the event to announce the new original. Advertisement "Last season, the Kansas City Chiefs gave ESPN unfiltered access to our lives, on and off the field," Mahomes said. "The result is an incredible six-episode series called The Kingdom that showcases the true heart of our great city, the team, and what it takes to be a member of the Kansas City Chiefs." The two-time NFL MVP went on to share more details about what the new series will cover. "We dive into the history and legacy of the franchise, from the early days in Texas all the way to our third-straight Super Bowl appearance," Mahomes added. "And nobody captured all of that better than ESPN. "It was an honor to be a part of this incredible project, and I can't wait for all of you to see it." Despite the recent Super Bowl loss, Mahomes and the Chiefs expect to be right back in championship contention for the 2025 NFL season. The return of tight end Travis Kelce, along with retaining coach Andy Reid, will certainly help. Related: Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes Asking For Prayers on Monday

Chiefs Fans Know Of 1 Roster Spot With No 'Panic'
For some NFL teams, the constant scramble to get a franchise quarterback is never-ending, and the Kansas City Chiefs landed the jackpot when they drafted Patrick Mahomes. Other teams, such as the Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, Cincinnati Bengals, and Philadelphia Eagles, also possess star quarterbacks, but not everyone is as fortunate to have such a weapon leading the way. Advertisement In what is a neat exercise, Bleacher Report's Moe Moton did a "panic meter" at the quarterback position for all 32 teams ,ranging from one (no panic) to 10 being alarm bells going off everywhere. And for the Chiefs and their setup, there is no panic with meter reading one. "The Kansas City Chiefs can look at their quarterback room and understand the sky isn't falling after a Super Bowl loss," Bleacher Report writes. "Mahomes is still the league's most accomplished quarterback, and he has dominated his AFC foes in the playoffs. The Chiefs signed Minshew and re-signed Zappe. The former has an advantage over the latter in starting experience and will likely win the primary backup job. Oladokun will probably spend most of his time on the practice squad." Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes during Super Bowl Burke-Imagn Images That is no surprise as with Mahomes, the Chiefs will always be in with a shot of the Super Bowl, and with Gardner Minshew and Bailey Zappe, both of whom have experience in the league, it's a solid room.

Chiefs' Offseason Announcement Draws Disappointed Reaction From Fans
The Kansas City Chiefs headed into Super Bowl LIX on the brink of making NFL history as the first team to ever win a three-peat. After clinching their ninth consecutive AFC West title and most regular season wins in franchise history (15), another Chiefs' victory seemed inevitable. After Kansas City defeated the San Francisco 49ers in last year's Super Bowl, and announced their goal of a three-peat, the Chiefs agreed to allow "unprecedented access into the players' lives on and off the field" to create a six-part docuseries of the team's historic run. The Chiefs revealed on March 28 that the docuseries is expected to premiere later this year on ESPN and Disney+. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes during Super Bowl Burke-Imagn Images Due to the fact that the Philadelphia Eagles crushed the Chiefs 40-22 in the Super Bowl, with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Co. unable to put any points on the board until after falling to a 34-0 deficit in the third quarter, many fans don't want to relive this past season. Advertisement One fan wrote, "Watching this like I watch Revenge of the Sith. Knowing how it ends but praying some how this time will be different." Another person posted, "so we get to relive the pain all over again, yay." One man commented, "Gonna be a great show but we all know it's gonna have a [expletive] ending so that sucks." Another fan asked, "Did it HAVE to be the losing season💀😭." Some fans don't want to watch at all. One woman wrote, "Gonna skip this one." Another Chiefs fan added, "Don't really feel like reliving this season personally." Obviously, this docuseries would've been a lot more epic if the Chiefs won a historic three-peat. However, the ESPN Original Series, produced by Words + Pictures in association with Skydance Sports, NFL Films, 2PM Productions -- Mahomes' production company, and Foolish Club Studios, moved forward with it anyway. Advertisement Burke Magnus, president of content of ESPN said in a statement, "ESPN and Disney+ know that sports fans are interested in stories that take them beyond the X's and O's, and this series will explore the legacy of the Chiefs franchise while also showcasing the emotional highs and lows of building a championship-winning team."
