Congratulating the Philadelphia Eagles on their victory in Super Bowl LIX.
This is a non-binding House resolution introduced to officially congratulate the Philadelphia Eagles on winning Super Bowl LIX. The bill recognizes the team, coaches, and staff for their victory, highlights standout performances (notably MVP Jalen Hurts and key plays such as a 46-yard pass to DeVonta Smith, the Brotherly Shove, and a DeJean interception return), and notes the overcoming of adversity during the season. It emphasizes pride in the city of Philadelphia and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, honors fans nationwide for their support, and quotes the head coach on teamwork. As a ceremonial measure, it expresses goodwill and does not create new laws or authorize spending. Sponsor information shows Rep. Boyle of Pennsylvania (along with several co-sponsors) introduced the resolution, which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The text makes two operative statements: (1) to congratulate the Eagles on their victory, and (2) to recognize the achievements of all players, coaches, and staff involved.
