Listen to Merrill Reese’s call of the Eagles Super Bowl win
"What a game. What a season. What a team," Reese said.
For the second time in his distinguished career, Merrill Reese called an Eagles’ Super Bowl win.
As time ticked down in Sunday’s contest between the Eagles and the Kansas Chiefs, Philadelphia’s longtime radio announcer counted down the seconds as time expired.
“It’s over,” Reese said. “The Philadelphia Eagles have won Super Bowl LIX. They have beaten the Kansas City Chiefs, 40-22. It’s their second Super Bowl win in seven years. What a game. What a season. What a team.”
“The greatest Eagles team in modern history,” he added. “Eagles fans, savor it. And rejoice!”
Reese has been calling Eagles games since 1978, and has been on the mic for many of the franchise’s most iconic moments, including the Birds’ Super Bowl wins.
In August, he was honored with the Pete Rozelle Radio-Television Award from the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
