NEW ORLEANS -- Multiple defensive players said the Philadelphia Eagles used the Kansas City Chiefs' three-peat talk as motivation in their dominant Super Bowl LIX performance Sunday.
"That was motivation because it was kind of a slap to us," veteran defensive end Brandon Graham said. "It was like, they ain't seen us yet. So we heard that all week. And when the game came, execution was on point and together."
The Chiefs were trying to become the first NFL team to win three consecutive Super Bowl titles. News came out last week that the Chiefs and Miami Heat president Pat Riley came to an agreement allowing the Chiefs to use the trademarked "Three-Peat" phrase without issue if they did win.
