Philadelphia crushes Kansas City to win Super Bowl LIX!
Philadelphia’s defense dominated Kansas City and their offense did enough to trounce Kansas City 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX. The game wasn’t close. In fact, it was 40-6 late in the 4th quarter before Kansas City added two meaningless touchdowns in the last couple of minutes. It was enough of a beating to propel Philadelphia to my #1 ranking in my power ratings. Kansas City finished the year at #3.
Here are my final rankings for the 2024 season:
