After storming through the entire tournament without losing a set (8 consecutive), Anastasia Potapova was defeated in the first set of this match. But then regular service resumed as she won 12 of the last 15 games to win the Championship. Her total game record was 70-25. It was her third career win.

K-S's route to the title was a little more difficult than Potopova's. Two of their matches were decided by tie breaker 10 point games (10-6, 10-6). Their set recored was 6-2 and their game record was 42-28. But, like Champions, they saved their best for last, with their most dominant win.

The US Open is one of the PGA's most prestigious Tournaments, having been played annually (with 3 exceptions) since 1941 (see below).
 
E.J. Tackett won his 2nd US Open in 3 years, along with a $100,000 payday. He did it the hard way, after finding himself buried in 78th place after two rounds of play, nearly 200 pins outside the cut, before he roared back to win.

John Janawicz (USBC) and Nathan Smith (USBC) bowled perfect (300) games.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 40 (OFFICIAL TEAM WEBSITE)
KANSAS CITY 22 (OFFICIAL TEAM WEBSITE

The Philadelphia Eagles Derailed Kansas City's hopes of becoming the first team in the Superbowl era (1966-present) to win three consecutive NFL Championships. The Eagles did it in blow out fashion, leading 40-6 before KC scored two meaningless touchdowns in garbage time. It was the Eagles 5th overall NFL Championship since entering the League in 1933 (1948--Chicago Cardinals, 1949 --Los Angeles Rams, 1960--Green Bay Packers, 2017--New England Patriots, and 2024). The Green Bay Packers remain the only team in NFL history to win 3 consecutive League Championships (1929-31--no League Championship game played, and 1965-67–Cleveland Browns, Kansas City, Oakland Raiders). 

Kansas City, originally the Dallas Texans of the American Football League  (1960-1962), relocated to KC in 1963. KC has won 2 AFL Championships (1962--Houston Oilers, 1969--Oakland Raiders) and 3 Superbowl Championships (1969--Minnesota Vikings, 2022--Philadelphia Eagles, 2023--San Francisco 49ers).
