The Philadelphia Eagles have a different approach to this year’s Super Bowl, focusing on winning rather than just being in the game. With their previous loss to the Kansas City Chiefs still fresh in their minds, the team is determined to come out on top.
“I’m not trying to have fun,” said defensive end Darius Slay Jr., echoing his teammates’ sentiments. “I’m mostly on a business trip.” The Eagles’ focus has shifted from enjoying the experience of being in the Super Bowl to making this year’s game count.
Last year, the team came close but ultimately fell short, losing 38-35 on a field goal with eight seconds left. While they were prepared for the media attention that comes with it, Slay and his teammates acknowledge that getting distracted was an issue.
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has emphasized the importance of learning from their past mistakes and improving in key areas. “You think about the things you did well, then you think about the things you didn’t do well and how you can improve on those things,” he said.
The team’s approach to this year’s Super Bowl week is marked by a renewed sense of focus and maturity. As Jordan Mailata put it, “It’s being in the moment, being where your feet are at.” With their sights set on victory, the Eagles are ready for what promises to be an intense showdown with the Chiefs once again.
