At the time of this story's release, the Philadelphia Eagles are treating us to a dream that we hope we never wake up from. If this is a fantasy, don't wake us up. The Birds are blanking the two-time defending Super Bowl champions to the tune of a 24-0 score.

On this stage, memorable moments make up the total picture. Philly is painting its masterpiece. So far, revenge has been sweet. One of two birthday boys on the Eagles' roster gifted himself and his teammates with one heck of a gift.

Or, was it Patrick Mahomes that provided the gift?

We'll never forget Cooper DeJean's pick-six for the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

A massive gain by A.J. Brown was taken from the Eagles on Philly's first drive. Some say it was a phantom call. That's a fair assessment. It appeared the Birds had one choice, stacking some points so they couldn't be jobbed by the refs.

Nervous feelings came early and often, especially after the Eagles kicked a field goal after trying to draw the Chiefs offsides before being flagged for a penalty.

That's okay. That's why you bring your defense.

Picture this. A third-down scenario after two sacks set up what might go on to become one of the most memorable moments in Eagles franchise history.

Coop didn't need to do much to endear himself to Birds fans. He's already a fan-favorite. This further drives that point home.

You can't ask for mush more than what we saw from the Eagles during the first half of Super Bowl LIX. Again, if we're dreaming, don't wake us.
