without a little extra motivation. The veteran offensive tackle made sure his teammates had one thing burned into their memories the night before the game—the
Kansas City Chiefs
’ infamous “0 Sacks” shirts from their Super Bowl LVII victory parade. And let’s just say, the Eagles delivered on his message in a big way.
Lane Johnson Reminded the Eagles of Chiefs’ Parade Shirts Before Super Bowl LIX
After the Chiefs defeated the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII, their offensive line made sure to rub it in by sporting “0 Sacks” shirts at their championship parade—celebrating the fact that they didn’t allow a single sack against Philly’s highly touted defense. That didn’t sit well with the Eagles for two years, and when the rematch finally came in Super Bowl LIX, Johnson knew exactly what to say.
The night before the game, Johnson fired up the team with a passionate speech, telling them:
“Remember the f**king shirts they had on at their parade. Keep that in mind while y’all are annihilating him tomorrow.”
The message was clear—this wasn’t just about winning a Super Bowl. It was about making a statement against the very team that embarrassed them two years prior.=
Eagles’ Defense Responded With a Dominant Performance Against Patrick Mahomes
Johnson’s words weren’t just hype. The Eagles’ defense took them personally and absolutely shut down
Patrick Mahomes
and the Chiefs’ offense in the biggest game of the year.
- 6 sacks on Mahomes
- 2 interceptions
- A dominant 40-22 victory over Kansas City
The Eagles didn’t just win—they obliterated the Chiefs, proving they were the better team this time around. The “0 Sacks” parade shirts? Yeah, those came back to bite the Chiefs in the worst way possible.
Philly Had a Point to Prove—And They Did
It’s no surprise that the Eagles were feeling supremely confident heading into Super Bowl LIX. Between Saquon Barkley’s assertive speech and Johnson’s revenge-fueled motivation, Philly walked into the game with a different level of intensity.
Looking back, it’s clear—this game mattered more to the Eagles. And they made sure everyone knew it.
