The biggest event in American sports went down on Sunday, as Superbowl LVII between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philidelphia Eagles.

It was an even match from the very beginning, as almost all statistics were identical between the Chiefs and the Eagles. Even their records were exactly the same, as the Chiefs and Eagles both finished the regular season with a record of 14-3.
While this was already an entertaining matchup, it was made more entertaining as there were 2 brothers facing off against each other to win the prestigious Lombardi Trophy. The 2 brothers were Jason Kelce of the Philidelphia Eagles and Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs.

Imagine having to face off against your own sibling in a game to have your name etched in the history books. The friends and family of the Kelce family must have been sweating the entire game, as they knew one had to win and one had to lose.
At the end of the first quarter, the Chiefs and Eagles were tied 7-7, both scoring touchdowns. When the 2nd quarter occurred, the Eagles scored 17 points, while the Chiefs scored another 7 points, meaning the Eagles had a 24-14 lead heading into halftime.
This year’s halftime performance had Rihanna as its only performer. When she appeared in front of the public eyes, fans watching on TV and live in attendance noticed that she had a bit of a bump in her stomach, where it was later confirmed that she was pregnant for the 2nd time. While some say this was one of the worst halftime shows in recent memory, I found it to be quite enjoyable to watch.

Once the halftime show concluded, it was time to get back to the final 2 quarters of the 2022-23 NFL season. It was a low-scoring quarter for the Eagles, who only scored 3 points, while the Chiefs landed another 7-point touchdown, making the score 27-21 Eagles heading into the final quarter of the game.
While the Eagles were able to score 8-points this quarter, it wasn’t enough to defeat the eventual Superbowl winners and Superbowl MVP, Patrick Mahomes, who helped the Chiefs rally back with a 17-point 4th quarter to snatch the victory away from the Eagles in a final score of 38-35.

In what will go down as one of the most entertaining Superbowls in recent memory, the final piece that people will remember from this night is Jason Kelce hugging his mom at the end of the game. It was a wholesome moment between the losing son and his mother, as one son had to lose.

The NFL schedule for the 2023-24 season likely won’t release until April or May of this year. A thrilling NFL season is now in the books, with Patrick Mahomes back on top once again.
