The Philadelphia Eagles made it clear they were the superior team in Super Bowl LIX, dominating the Kansas City Chiefs with a 40-22 victory at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. Their impressive performance ended the Chiefs’ NFL dominance, earning them the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Jalen Hurts was named Super Bowl MVP, though the win was a true team effort. Linebacker Zack Baun stood out with seven tackles, a quarterback hit, a pass deflection, and an interception off Patrick Mahomes. Baun’s wife, Ali, captured his interception in the second quarter and shared the moment on social media with the caption: “deceased.”
Zack Baun’s interception at the Chiefs’ 14-yard line did more than just halt a Kansas City drive—it set the stage for an Eagles touchdown, as AJ Brown’s catch soon after extended Philadelphia’s lead to 24 points. Baun’s standout play capped off an impressive 2024 NFL season, where he maximized the impact of his one-year, $1.6 million deal signed with the Eagles in March 2024.
It’s also notable that Zack Baun spent his first four NFL seasons with the New Orleans Saints before winning a Super Bowl at his former home stadium with the Eagles. In his debut season with Philadelphia, the 28-year-old former Wisconsin Badgers standout earned a Pro Bowl selection, finishing the 2024 regular season with 5.5 sacks and two interceptions.
