The Eagles defeated the Chiefs 40-22 at Super Bowl LIX.
NFL fans have accused a Philadelphia Eagles star of taking his feud with Travis Kelce ‘too far’ after his side beat the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LIX.
The Eagles produced their best performance of the NFL season to win 40-22 in New Orleans – though the scoreline perhaps did little to underline just how dominant Philadelphia were.
At one stage during the final quarter, Eagles were 40-6 ahead, with Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his offensive line enduring a horror night.
Kelce was at a loss to explain the defeat, which prevented Chiefs from becoming the first NFL team in history to win three consecutive Super Bowls.
He had earlier been aware of fans inside the Caesars Superdrome booing his partner Taylor Swift when the American music icon appeared on the big screen.
After the game, Eagles safety CJ Gardner-Johnson aimed a brutal dig at Kelce over the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIX defeat.
He posted a picture of himself standing, with his hands behind his back, in front of Kelce, alongside the caption ‘Should’ve Stayed with that thick s****.”

Some fans believed the post to be referencing Kelce’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Nicole, who he broke up with in 2022 before dating Swift from 2023.
In response, fans were left furious over Gardner-Johnson’s post.
One wrote: “Posting about another man after you win a Super Bowl is something.”
A second said: “Gross comment to Kelce. Just disgusting.”
A third added: “Winning the Super Bowl and making it about Travis Kelce is crazy.”
And a fourth said: “Your story is absolutely disgusting.”
A fifth asked: “Why is Travis Kelce living rent free in the mind of a football player who just won the Super Bowl not even 24 hours ago?”
