The Eagles dismantled the Chiefs, winning 40-22 in a game that wasn't even that close. It's the second title for the Eagles in the last decade, as they also beat the New England Patriots in 2018.

Now, the Nationals don't figure to be anywhere near the World Series this season, but they certainly appear to be improving. With young prospects like James Wood and Dylan Crews ready to pop in 2025, they are one of the more interesting groups in baseball as spring training gets set to begin this week. In addition, they have shortstop CJ Abrams and young pitcher MacKenzie Gore, who can hopefully continue to take the next step.

The problem for the Nationals is that they play in one of the most competitive divisions in all of baseball. The National League East features the free-spending New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies while also housing the excellent Atlanta Braves.

Here's more on Kendrick Lamar from "Biography."
