Philadelphia Eagles punter Braden Mann worked as an important cog in his team’s win in Super Bowl LIX against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Eagles won the game 40-22, and Mann’s punting was appreciable in controlling the field position and making it tough for the Chiefs’ offense.
Eagles Punter Braden Mann Practices Snaps With Wife Kylie
Thanks to his production in the 2024 campaign, Mann can add a Super Bowl title to his resume. Throughout the season, the punter had outstanding outings. He averaged 46.2 yards per punt and managed to place 25 of his punts inside the opponent’s 20-yard line.
This production also helped the Eagles’ during their playoff run, supporting the defense and having an edge over their opponents. Like in the Super Bowl, Mann’s punts forced the Chiefs to start long drives, which the Eagles’ defense was more than ready to stop.
Although Mann did not play a salient role in the Super Bowl, he touched the ball six times during the game, but his two punts were each downed inside the 20-yard line, which put the Chiefs in difficult field positions. He also was involved in four extra-point attempts.
Now that the season has ended and the Super Bowl title in his grasp, Mann is enjoying his time off. He’s currently having some downtime with his wife, Kylie, at an island resort. However, even with the vacation setting, Mann hasn’t forgotten about his job as a punter.

The couple has been practicing together on their vacation. Kylie shared a moment the two were doing PAT holds on Instagram, alongside the caption:
“Now for the off-season job I never applied for!! (Turns out the arm tires out quickly) 😅Now patiently waiting for @jordanbrittlovato and @annieelliott_ punting and holding videos 🫶”
The subtitle on the clip also implied that the two had completed more than 30 snaps.
Meanwhile, the Eagles, as the winners of last season have gained the chance to start the 2025 campaign with a primetime Thursday night game on Sept. 4, which will lead into the weekend’s games. The contest will be held at Lincoln Financial Field, but the opponent is not known just yet. So, Mann has a lot more time to hone his craft till then.
