Philadelphia Eagles Visit White House in Honor of Super Bowl Win

WASHINGTOWN, DC — President Donald Trump welcomed the Philadelphia Eagles to the White House on Monday to celebrate their Super Bowl victory, despite the absence of several players, including star quarterback Jalen Hurts. While Hurts and others cited scheduling conflicts, Trump commended Hurts' standout season. Running back Saquon Barkley, who rushed for more than 2,000 yards and earned Offensive Player of the Year honors, attended the ceremony after traveling with Trump from New Jersey. Although political undercurrents surfaced during the event, the gathering ultimately celebrated the Eagles' successful season and their championship run.
