In a shocking statement that has Eagles fans talking, star wide receiver DeVonta Smith shared his surprisingly muted reaction to Philadelphia's recent Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs.
The Philadelphia Eagles just took down the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX, securing revenge after their heartbreaking loss to the same team two years ago. This marks the franchise's second Super Bowl title in team history, with Philadelphia remarkably appearing in the championship game twice in the last three years.
Smith, who has established himself as a consistent winner throughout his career, recently appeared on the 7PM In Brooklyn podcast, where he shared his rather unexpected feelings about the victory.
"I'm gonna be real with you," Smith admitted. "For me, you know, I've played at the biggest game on every stage. I think for me, the Super Bowl, it felt like that just because I was at home. It was just the emotion of me being home, but like once we won, it was just kinda like, eh."

While this response might surprise many fans, it makes sense when considering Smith's decorated career. The Alabama product has done nothing but collect championships, winning two national titles during his college career before joining an Eagles team that has consistently ranked among the NFL's elite.
Smith remains a cornerstone piece for Philadelphia as they look toward the future. Despite losing several key players this offseason, the Eagles still boast what many consider the league's most talented roster. With their core intact, there's genuine optimism that this Super Bowl victory could mark the beginning of a dynasty rather than a one-time achievement.
