What better way to celebrate Black History Month than to also commemorate a milestone in the biggest game in football?
For the first time, two Black quarterbacks will start in the same Super Bowl Sunday in Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs and Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles.
Mahomes is a two-time NFL Most Valuable Player and will attempt to earn his second championship win after winning Super Bowl LIV over the San Francisco 49ers in 2020.
Hurts wants to join the legacy of starting Black quarterbacks to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, joining Doug Williams ? the first Black quarterback to win a Super Bowl (XXII, Washington Redskins), Russell Wilson (XLVIII, Seattle Seahawks), and Mahomes.
