The key to the last Bears defense and the new one under Dennis Allen isn't a lot different than what Vic Fangio did Sunday in helping the Eagles win it all.

As the Eagles partied, Fangio was left smiling after winning his first Super Bowl title. His defense validated its standing as one of the NFL's best in recent memory by taking down Patrick Mahomes.

The Philadelphia Eagles blew out the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX mostly thanks to a dominant defensive showing. The Chiefs didn’t score their first points until the last minute of the third quarter, and Philadelphia forced three Patrick Mahomes turnovers.
