This week on Sports With Friends:

On Sunday, January 26, 2025, the Philadelphia Eagles clinched their 3rd Super Bowl since 2017 with a 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders. The Eagles will play the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 on February 9th.

Merrill Reese has been the play-by-play voice of the Philadelphia Eagles since 1977. Earlier this season he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame by winning the Pete Rozelle Radio-TV Award. He is synonymous with the Eagles and discussed the incredible run by this 2024-2025 Eagles team.

In this episode, Reese explained how this season differs from the two recent Super Bowl teams. He also explained how he gets as excited now for Eagles’ games as he did in 1977. He discussed the incredible job General Manager Howie Roseman did in putting this roster together. He focused on the acquisition of running back Saquon Barkley. Reese also discussed coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts. Finally, he sized up the matchup between Philadelphia and Kansas City, who are aiming to “three-peat” as Super Bowl champions.
