The Philadelphia Eagles' 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs emphatically answered the question of which team was the NFL's best in 2024. The Eagles' dominance over the Chiefs also catapults them to the top of the list of every Super Bowl champion since the turn of the century.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has reached the mountaintop of the NFL. After the Eagles' win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Barkley was left speechless, and at the team’s Super Bowl parade on Friday, he reflected on a whirlwind season after leaving the New York Giants.

Barkley — who was traded in the offseason from the NFC East rival Giants — instantly elevated the Eagles to a Super Bowl contender. And though Barkley was mostly quiet in Philadelphia’s dominant Super Bowl 59 win, that impact was undeniable. Jalen Hurts made sure to let Barkley know that.
