Super Bowl 2023 : The matchup is set for Super Bowl 57, as the Eagles and Chiefs will compete to decide the champion for the NFL’s 2022 season.
It should come as no surprise that both teams made it to the Super Bowl. They were the No. 1 seeds in their respective conferences and have two of the top MVP candidates league-wide in Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes.
The Eagles won their first eight games of the season and have been one of the league’s most consistent teams through the 2022 season and the 2023 postseason.
They are 16–1 overall in games started by Hurts, and that includes their 38–7 and 31–7 playoff victories over the Giants and 49ers, respectively.
The Chiefs, meanwhile, were able to defeat the Bengals 23–20 in the AFC Championship Game, thanks to a 45-yard field goal by Harrison Booker with three seconds remaining.
Mahomes performed well in the contest, throwing for 326 yards and two touchdowns despite playing with an ankle injury.
The win was an important one for Mahomes, who had lost his previous three games against Joe Burrows and the Bengals. Mahomes also enjoyed a stellar 2022 season, throwing for 5,250 yards, 41 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions and posting a 14-3 record.
This Super Bowl will be notable in that it will feature a battle between brothers on opposite sides. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Eagles center Jason Kelce will each search for their second Super Bowl rings as they battle it out at State Farm Stadium.
Additionally, Andy Reid would look to defeat his former team to capture his second career Super Bowl title.
