Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean made one of the biggest plays in Super Bowl LIX, intercepting a Patrick Mahomes pass midway through the second quarter and returning it for a touchdown.
The pick-six sent the Eaglesâ bench into a frenzy and zapped the life out of the Kansas City Chiefs.âThatâs a hell of a birthday present. You keep doing that, youâre gonna have an even better one,â running back Saquon Barkley told DeJean after the touchdown.The Eagles cruised to a 40-22 victory thanks, in part, to DeJeanâs big play and two weeks later, he still canât get enough of it.
During a Friday appearance on Barstoolâs Pardon My Take, DeJean admitted he still watches the play⌠every single time it appears on his television or phone.âSo many times,â a grinning DeJean said. âItâs shown up on my phone so many times. Iâve watched it every time.âLove the Eagles or hate them, you canât fault DeJean for basking in the glory. His moment came on his birthday, on the biggest stage in football, and in front of his loved ones. It helped secure a championship ring and etched his name into the NFLâs history books.It was, very literally, a dream come true for most football-loving kids.
