Trump said the Eagles "deserve" to be at the White House as champions — they stopped the Kansas City Chiefs from becoming the first team to threepeat in Super Bowl history with a 40-22 beatdown.
Trump rescinded his invite for the Super Bowl LII team in 2018 after some players refused to visit the White House due to Trump’s criticism of those who knelt or raised their fists during the national anthem in protest of racial injustice and police brutality.
But this year's team is different, and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni is looking forward to the opportunity.

Trump, in attendance for the game, predicted that the Chiefs would make history, but the Eagles took an early lead and never looked back.
"What an honor to be able to go to the White House. Teams that have been able to win championships have been doing that for a long time, and I'm really honored to go and really excited to go," Sirianni said. (Chris Szagola/AP Photo)
