Super Bowl 2023: First in NFL history with two black starting QBS

Super Bowl 2023 will have Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia Eagles against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. It will be the first match in NFL championship history featuring two black quarterbacks.

Kansas City Chiefs won over the Bengals 23-20 in the AFC Championship. Harrison Butler is the star player in their last game with his 45-yard field goal in the last 3 seconds of the match. In addition, Mahomes played well with his two touchdowns, and 326 yards throw amid his ankle injury.

The Philadelphia Eagles were one of the NFL’s most persistent teams in the 2022 season and 2023 postseason. They had won the first eight games of the season. Hurts had led the team with 16-1 overall in matches which include 38-7 and 31-7 victory against the 49ers and the Giants.

The matchup and schedule are set for a game of 16-3 teams on Feb.12 in Arizona. It’s no surprise for both of the teams playing for Super Bowl 2023. Aside from both teams having top MVP candidates, Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts, both teams are also the No.1 seeds in their league conferences.

In addition, this NFL Championship will be momentous as it will also have a match between brothers on each sideline. Eagles center Jason Kelce will face off with Chief’s tight end Travis Kelce as each aim for the second Super Bowl 57 ring at the State Farm Stadium.

NFL Predictions

While the Eagles have started strong, Philadelphia is a 1.5 favorite to win the game. However, one factor to consider is the connections between each contender. Kelce vs. Kelce and Philly vs. Reid will result in an ultra-reliable offense against each other.

For the most part of 2022, Mahomes and HUrts have been the greatest players in their respective positions. Both QBs have planned to create opportunities. Hurts will have to brace for a more defenseless pass “D” as opposed to the 49ers. While Mahomes still have a week to let his injured ankle recover before gracing the fields again.

Mahomes and Reid duo had experienced tons in the field, which is to say, it’s hard to bet against them. However, the Eagles have succeeded in so many ways that they deserve some early nods.
