The Kansas City Chiefs, led by Patrick Mahomes, will square off against Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles.

This Super Bowl matchup has lots of firsts

According to CBS Sports, Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes will be the first pair of Black starting QBs in Super Bowl history.

The Kelce brothers have earned a combined 14 Pro Bowl nods, 12 All-Pro honors, and two Super Bowl rings.

They are the most accomplished NFL siblings this side of Peyton and Eli Manning.
And now they'll become the first brothers to ever square off in a Super Bowl.
