Lessons other NFL teams can learn from Eagles' Super Bowl domination: Build the lines, embrace hard times

Some key takeaways from Philadelphia's title run
The Philadelphia Eagles didn't just win Super Bowl LIX. They embarrassed the Kansas City Chiefs, preventing the reigning champions from coming even remotely close to the historic "three-peat" they talked all week about achieving. And now, just like that, the rest of the NFL will be tasked with following in the Eagles' footsteps, trying to lay the foundation for a title run of their own come 2025.
So how, exactly, can they do so? Let's be clear off the bat: It's impossible to perfectly replicate the champions in any given year. Each season brings all-new challenges, many of them unforeseen: turnover in the roster and staff, significant injuries at key positions, logistical hurdles of the schedule. In the Eagles' case specifically, just like the Chiefs before them, it's also far easier said than done for other teams to conjure, say, a quarterback with the talents and mental fortitude of Jalen Hurts or Patrick Mahomes.
Still, the rest of the NFL should've learned at least a few things from the Birds' Super Bowl LIX domination. Here are three key takeaways that could be applied around the league this offseason:
