Super Bowl LVII Quarterback Matchup Set Up to Make History

Super Bowl LVII is set, as the Chiefs (14–3) will take on the Eagles (14–3) in a battle of the top seeds from the AFC and NFC, respectively.

Philadelphia cruised to a 31–7 victory over shorthanded San Francisco on Sunday, while Kansas City edged Cincinnati 23–20 on a late field goal at the end of regulation.

Those results set up a historic matchup, as it is the first time in Super Bowl history that there will be two Black starting quarterbacks squaring off in Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes and Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts. It comes 35 years after Washington’s Doug Williams became the first Black quarterback to start and win a Super Bowl.
