The LVII edition of the Super Bowl, the game that crowns the champion of the National Football League (NFL), the professional American football championship, faces the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale ( Arizona).
The match is played starting at 4:30 p.m. local time (5:30 p.m. in Mexico, 6:30 p.m. on the East Coast of the United States and 12:30 a.m. on Monday in mainland Spain).
All eyes are on the two
quarterbacks
starters: Jalen Hurts, for the Eagles, and Patrick Mahomes, for the Chiefs.
The latter has been crowned the best player of the season.
In the year of Tom Brady's retirement, Hurts and Mahomes, in their twenties, represent the generational change in the League.
Both are also African-American, something that had never happened before.
The Kansas City Chiefs are present in the Super Bowl for the third time in four years after proclaiming themselves champions of the American Conference (AFC).
They won the 54th edition in 2020, lost the next one against the Buccaneers and last year they were left out of the final that the Los Angeles Rams won against the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Philadelphia Eagles are trying to win the second Super Bowl in their history, after the one they won in 2018 against Tom Brady's New England Patriots 41-33,
