Cooper DeJean: Eagles' DL 'Some Bad Motherf--kers' After Super Bowl 59 Win vs. Chiefs

The blowout was on in Sunday's Super Bowl LIX as soon as the Philadelphia Eagles extended the lead over the Kansas City Chiefs to 17-0 in the second quarter with Cooper DeJean's pick-six, but the cornerback gave credit to his teammates after the win.

"The boys up front are some bad motherf--kers," DeJean said, per Brooks Kubena of The Athletic.

Kansas City scored 16 points in the final three minutes of Philadelphia's 40-22 victory when plenty of Eagles were already celebrating on the sidelines, so the game wasn't even as close as the 18-point deficit indicated.

And that was in large part due to Philadelphia's defense.

In addition to DeJean's pick-six, the NFC representative sacked Patrick Mahomes six times and made life miserable for the star quarterback throughout the contest. Zack Baun's interception deep in Kansas City territory also set up an Eagles touchdown, and the defensive line's ability to create pressure made it all the more difficult for any receivers to get open.

According to Next Gen Stats, the Eagles didn't blitz a single time and still generated a 38.1 percent pressure rate.

Not even an offense with an all-time great at quarterback like Mahomes can do much against a defense that is creating pressure like that without sending any additional blitzers. DeJean and the rest of the secondary didn't have to cover the Chiefs' playmakers for long before Mahomes was scrambling or being taken down.

The cornerback had his starring moment with the pick-six, but he knew where the real credit went after the game.
