The Philadelphia Eagles didn't just win; they dominated Super Bowl LIX and defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22.

The big picture: Kansas City's dreams of a Super Bowl three-peat were crushed by the Eagles defense, which sacked Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes six times and forced three turnovers — including a pick-six in the second quarter by rookie cornerback Cooper DeJean, who celebrated his 22nd birthday Sunday along with teammate Saquon Barkley.

Hot off winning five Grammys, rapper Kendrick Lamar kept the buzz going at the halftime show. President Trump attended the game, the first sitting U.S. president to ever do so. Here are all the highlights on and off the field.
