Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles touch down in New Orleans ahead of Super Bowl clash with Chiefs

The Philadelphia Eagles have landed in the Big Easy with a big week ahead of them as they prepare to try and get some revenge against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts, head coach Nick Sirianni, running back Saquon Barkley, and the rest of the team have landed at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport on Sunday in time to prepare for the Big Game in one week’s time.

The team departed their training facility on Sunday morning and headed to Philadelphia International Airport to board a flight headed to Louisiana.

They landed sometime in the mid-afternoon – with the pilots of their plane opening a window on the ground and flying a flag with the Eagles logo that said ‘Geaux Birds’ – spelling ‘go’ in a faux-French style as is commonly seen in the state.

The Eagles will be staying at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside H๏τel – located adjacent to the Mississippi River and about a mile from the Caesars Superdome, where the game will take place.

Now, they have an entire week to get acclimated to the city and prepare for their second Super Bowl matchup against Kansas City in three seasons.

The Chiefs have also made their way down to the city so they can get used to the area with plenty of time.

Philadelphia earned their trip to the Super Bowl after knocking off the Washington Commanders in dominant fashion.

On the other hand, Kansas City was able to hold off a late effort from the Buffalo Bills to make their third-straight appearance in the NFL’s championship game.

Kickoff for Super Bowl LIX is 6:30ET on FOX with Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady calling the action.

Kansas City is hoping to become the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row – which would be the franchise’s fifth overall.

Philadelphia, meanwhile, is hoping to win their second Super Bowl in their fifth appearance.
