Cooper DeJean celebrates 22nd birthday with pick-six of Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl 59

Philadelphia Eagles rookie Cooper DeJean returned three passes for touchdowns after picking them off in college at Iowa. He has his first as a pro, intercepting Patrick Mahomes in the second quarter of Super Bowl 59 and bringing it 38 yards for the pick-six.

The Eagles’ defense was smothering Mahomes, who had been sacked three times with a third of the second quarter left.

DeJean’s pick and the subsequent PAT made it 17-0 as the Eagles tried to deny the Chiefs a three-peat.

DeJean had more return yards on the play than the Chiefs had total offense in the first half. KC was outgained 179-23.
