They last appeared in 2020 and last won in 2019. 3. This is the Eagles' second Super Bowl appearance in six seasons. They last appeared -- and won -- in 2017. 4. Both the Eagles and Chiefs faced quarterback in their last Super Bowl appearances. Philly upset Brady and the , 41-33, to win in 2017. Kansas City, meanwhile, fell to Alec Ogletree Jersey Brady and the underdog , 31-9, in 2020. 5. Before winning their most recent titles, both the Eagles and Chiefs endured 30-plus year championship droughts. Philly's 2017 victory, its first-ever Super Bowl title, came 57 years after its 1960 championship. And Kansas City's 2019 victory came 50 years after the team's 1969 Super Bowl win, its first and only other Lombardi Trophy run. 6. The Eagles are making their third Super Bowl appearance in as many decades, with their third different head coach and quarterback pairing: They previously advanced to Super Bowl XXXIX in 2004 with Andy Reid (HC) and Donovan McNabb (QB), then won Super Bowl LII in 2017 with Doug Pederson (HC) and (QB). Now, they enter Super Bowl LVII to cap 2022 with Nick Sirianni (HC) and Jalen Hurts (QB). 7. Sirianni is in just his second season as Eagles head coach, following in the footsteps of Pederson, who also advanced to the Super Bowl in his second year on the job. 8. Andy Reid, the Chiefs' coach since 2013, famously spent his first 14 years as an NFL head coach with the Eagles. He still ranks as the winningest coach in team history, going 130-93-1, with nine playoff appearances and five NFC Championship berths, from 1999-2012. 9. Like his longtime Eagles QB Donovan McNabb, Reid was a bittersweet icon during his Philly tenure: beloved for his sustained succe s, but critiqued for his inability to "get over the hump." The Eagles infamously lost three straight NFC Championship games from 2001-2003, before advancing to Super Bowl XXXIX Rhett Ellison Jersey in 2004 and falling 24-21 to the Tom Brady-led Patriots. 10. Doug Pederson, who both played and worked under Reid, needed just two seasons as Eagles coach to do what his esteemed predece sor never could: win it all. But Reid finally claimed his first Super Bowl win two years later, when the Chiefs beat the , 31-20, in 2019's Super Bowl LIV. 11. The Eagles are just two years removed from a 4-11-1 finish that led to Pederson's dismi sal. The team's only Super Bowl-winning head coach spent just five seasons on the job, before returning to the sidelines as the ' coach this year. Reid, meanwhile, led the Chiefs to four playoff appearances in his first five years as K.C.'s head coach (2013-2017), but his standards have raised even higher since QB burst onto the scene. 12. Mahomes was drafted the same year the Eagles won their Lorenzo Carter Jersey first Super Bowl, but spent most of his rookie season as the Chiefs' backup QB. Since replacing as the full-time starter in 2018, he's never failed to lead a top-10 offense in terms of points scored per game. 13. At just 27, with five seasons of starting experience, Mahomes is already considered one of the best QBs to ever play the game. He led the NFL with 50 touchdown pa ses during his 2018 breakout, became the youngest QB to ever win Super Bowl MVP in 2019, went 14-1 as a starter en route to another Super Bowl bid in 2020, and has averaged nearly 40 TD pa ses per season in the two years since. 14. Besides his record early-career production, Mahomes has broken the mold at his position. Specializing in acrobatic arm angles, last-second throws and clutch freestyling, he's combined with Reid's creative play-calling to star as one of the league's most improbably indefensible talents. It's as if, some say half-jokingly, he plays a different sport than everyone else. 15. Both Mahomes and Eagles QB Jalen Hurts are finalists for the 2022 NFL MVP award. Mahomes previously won in Phil Simms Jersey 2018. 16. A suming Mahomes wins MVP, he has a chance to become just the fifth QB in NFL history to win both two MVPs and two Super Bowls, after Hall of Fame legends , Joe Montana, Tom Brady and Johnny Unitas -- all of whom accomplished the feat over the age of 30. 17. Hurts is in just his third NFL season, and second as the Eagles' full-time starter. At 24, he is the youngest QB in team history to ever advance to the Super Bowl, after Nick Foles (29, 2017), Donovan McNabb (28, 2004) and Ron Jaworski (29, 1980). 18. Hurts is the second Eagles QB to reach the Super Bowl after previously backing up , the team's starter from 2016-2020. Wentz notably flirted with an MVP candidacy in 2017 before a late-season knee injury forced Foles into action, setting the stage for a historic playoff run by the latter. Three years later, the Eagles drafted Hurts as a second-round pick, and the rookie replaced a struggling Wentz late in the 2020 season. 19. Hurts stood out as a promising runner from 2020-2021, guiding the Eagles to a playoff berth in his first year as a starter. But he took a seismic leap as a fully fledged QB in 2022, showcasing not only tough, elusive rushing ability but improved accuracy, touch and confidence throwing downfield. He finished with 35 total TDs, including 13 on the ground, the most by any QB. 20. Among all QBs who started at least 15 games in 2022, Mahomes (8.1) and Hurts (8.0) ranked first and second, respectively, in average yards gained per pa s attempt. 21. Hurts had a roller-coaster journey even before his NFL ascent: notoriously confident coming out of Channelview High School in Texas, he became Alabama's first true-freshman starter in more than 30 years, leading the Crimson Tide to a national championship appearance. As a sophomore, he led the team back to the national title game, only to be replaced at halftime Antoine Bethea Jersey by future QB . He helped lead Alabama to a third straight championship appearance the following year, filling in for an injured Tagovailoa, before transferring to Oklahoma and emerging as a Heisman finalist. 22. The Eagles are 16-1 this season when Hurts is starting, including playoffs, and have gone
