The game pits two of the league’s most dynamic stars, Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes — who this week received his second NFL most valuable player award — and Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts, whose team was 16-1 in games he started this season. SuperBowl
Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurt talked about the historic matchup against Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes during Super Bowl LVII opening night in Phoenix.
“I couldn’t wait as a fan for the NFL to see what this guy could do, rolling to the left and throwing left, rolling to the right throwing right, extremely talented. He never got a chance because the Raiders had some really good players ahead of him, and he became a receiver. But I’ve always believed that the best athletes over the last several years and going forward are on the defensive side of the ball.
Both quarterbacks figure to be under heavy pass-rush pressure. The Eagles led the NFL with 70 sacks and are looking to become the sixth team to lead the league in that category and win the Super Bowl in the same season. Kansas City’s defense, anchored by All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones, was second with 55 sacks. The 125 combined regular-season sacks are the most ever by Super Bowl opponents.
“In so many ways, the story of this game talks about not just the story of this league, but the story of this country. When people are given opportunities, any one of us can rise up based on our merit and our ability.”
