The official snap counts for the Philadelphia Eagles’ impressive Super Bowl victory against the Kansas City Chiefs have been released! Let’s dive into the details and provide some insightful analysis.

OFFENSE

• Eagles players who participated in every offensive snap during their Super Bowl triumph include Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Nick Foles, Halapoulivaati Vaitai, Lane Johnson, Brandon Brooks, and Jason Kelce.
• Despite a knee issue that limited his play in the NFC Championship Game, Dickerson managed to compete throughout the entire match.
• Due to a substantial lead, Johnson and Cam Jurgens were able to exit the field early.
• In the closing stages of the game, Jalen Hurts handed over quarterback duties to Kenny Pickett, whose single pass attempt on fourth down was unsuccessful.
• A.J. Brown topped the Eagles’ receiving corps in time on the field, securing three catches from five targets for 43 yards and one touchdown, although a 32-yard reception was nullified by a controversial offensive pass interference call during the opening drive.
• Dallas Goedert had limited involvement, receiving only two targets, but he successfully caught both for a total of 27 yards, demonstrating high efficiency.
• Although Mekhi Becton faced a knee injury and missed some action, he returned later in the game, while Tyler Steen stepped in temporarily at right guard.
• Saquon Barkley led the Eagles with seven targets as the Chiefs focused heavily on containing him, inadvertently easing the workload for the rest of Philadelphia’s offensive unit.
• DeVonta Smith was the leading receiver for the Eagles, amassing 69 yards.
• Jahan Dotson caught two of three targets for 42 yards, marking his highest yardage as an Eagle in a game started by Jalen Hurts, surpassing his previous best of 36 yards in Week 9.
• Grant Calcaterra registered only one target across four playoff games, catching a four-yard pass during the Wild Card round.
• Parris Campbell, who didn’t see offensive action in the first two playoff games, participated in the last two contests.
• Kenny Gainwell carried the ball six times, totaling just 10 yards, with three of those attempts occurring during the Eagles’ clock management on the second to last drive.
• Johnny Wilson was unable to secure his lone target, which could have resulted in a short gain had it been caught.
• Fred Johnson wrapped up the match at right tackle, while Brett Toth concluded the game at center.
• E.J. Jenkins got some late-game action as TE3, just as Will Shipley did as RB3, with Shipley also leading the special teams for Philadelphia.
• Khari Blasingame participated for a few snaps at fullback.

DEFENSE

• Eagles players who participated in every defensive snap during their Super Bowl victory include Malcolm Jenkins, Rodney McLeod, Jalen Mills, Ronald Darby, and Nigel Bradham.
• Oren Burks was close to joining this exclusive group.
• Zack Baun stood out with impressive tackles and a spectacular diving interception, consistently making impactful plays throughout the season.
• Rookie Cooper DeJean celebrated his birthday by scoring a pick-six against Patrick Mahomes, adding three punt return yards to his performance.
• Josh Sweat led the defensive linemen in playing time, recording six tackles (second most on the team), three quarterback hits (highest), 2.5 sacks (team-high), and two tackles for loss (tied for team-high). Notably, he pressured Mahomes into a poor pass that was intercepted by Baun, earning votes for Super Bowl MVP and greatly enhancing his free agency prospects.
• Jalen Carter received significant attention from the Chiefs’ offensive line, even drawing a holding penalty for just the second time this season.
• Nolan Smith, like Carter, didn’t tally a tackle but registered two quarterback hits.
• Milton Williams had a standout performance with two sacks and two tackles for loss, including a forced fumble from Mahomes that he recovered. His season has been remarkable, especially after a modest performance last year with only half a sack.
• Jalyx Hunt’s transition from playing safety in the Ivy League to achieving half a sack as an edge rusher in the Super Bowl illustrates remarkable growth.
• Jordan Davis secured a sack for the second consecutive game despite limited playing time, showcasing his efficiency.
• Brandon Graham managed to play 13 snaps in what potentially could be his final NFL game, recording a solo tackle and drawing a holding penalty.
• Isaiah Rodgers appeared early in the game as Vic Fangio employed a dime package.
• Avonte Maddox took the field after DeJean briefly left due to injury and made a critical pass breakup that forced a turnover on downs.
• Kelee Ringo, Jeremiah Trotter Jr., Tristin McCollum, and Sydney Brown participated in some garbage time snaps on defense.

SPECIAL TEAMS

• It was surprising for Nicholas Morrow not to see any defensive snaps during the game’s concluding moments.
• After a challenging 2024 season, Jake Elliott excelled in the biggest game of the year, successfully converting all four field goals and extra points.
• Braden Mann’s initial punt traveled 53 yards, placing the Chiefs at their own 13-yard line, while his second punt was executed brilliantly, landing out at the six-yard line. Solid performance from the Eagles’ punter!
• The Eagles encountered issues with their field-goal snapping operation, particularly concerning pre-snap penalties. This raises questions about Rick Lovato’s performance, especially given his previous playoff struggles. He will be a free agent soon, prompting speculation about whether the team will seek a replacement long snapper.

DID NOT PLAY

INACTIVE: Bryce Huff, Tanner McKee, Darian Kinnard, Trevor Keegan, Ainias Smith, Eli Ricks, Lewis Cine

• After starting the season as the Eagles’ most significant free-agent addition, Huff found himself as a healthy scratch during the Super Bowl. The team is bound to his contract through 2025 but may defer action until 2026 if need be.
• McKee now has a chance to become the Eagles’ No. 2 quarterback next season, especially if they successfully trade Kenny Pickett.
• Kinnard, a three-time Super Bowl winner with the Chiefs, continues to amass the rings despite only participating in 89 NFL snaps.
• Keegan aims to be actively involved next season as a backup lineman.
• Smith will be contending for a roster position in 2025.
• Ricks is also in the mix for a potential roster spot next season.
• Cine will be an interesting prospect to observe during offseason practices as he vies for a backup safety position.
