The Cowboys fan in me, obviously, absolutely hated the outcome of that game.
But, the football fan (in general) in me will give credit where credit is due...That Eagles Defense Came to Work.
Well done, @iowamcnabb...You're one of my favorite Eagles fans (behind a college buddy from Sierra College with whom I periodically chat on Facebook) that I regularly engage in conversation with.
I haven't quite decided which of you is is number 1, and which is number 2, though...

Maybe the Chiefs are America’s team? No matter where you are on the political spectrum there is someone associated with the team for you to hate. Kelce/Swift/Mahomes/kicker guy. America can set their differences aside and unite over one common cause.
Jokes aside, I don’t mind the chiefs. My brother is a life long fan and goes to games and my parents have sort of adopted them as their team even though they don’t follow sports all that much (although they secretly told me they were rooting for the Eagles because they wanted someone else besides the Chiefs to win. Don’t tell my brother). Iowa is pretty evenly split between the Chiefs, Vikings and Packers. I live in eastern Iowa now which is heavy packers.

Probably needed a few more tackles, another sack, or a fumble recovery at least, but I think Sweat should have gotten MVP.
6 tackles, 2.5 sacks, and 6 pressures against Mahomes in the Super Bowl is impressive enough, but even more so in context to the whole D’s utter dominance.
6 sacks and 16 pressures without blitzing?! 3 turnovers including a Pick-6. Only 23 yards of total offense and a single first down (on KC’s first play) at halftime. KC didn’t get past midfield until down 34-0 midway through the 3rd and it was already effectively over.
Vic Fangio’s crew deserved the MVP honor, and Sweat was the best candidate.
… that said, not mad Hurts got it. Happy for him to receive the accolade and recognition after years of being dismissed as a top tier QB, even if, while he played fine, he wasn’t the reason they won.

FOX Super Bowl broadcast report card (Part 1). Tom Brady disaster in the booth. But it's been that way all season long in the role of analyst. Just this one magnified and particularly laughable.
