There will be all kinds of storylines in the week leading up to Super Bowl LVII. Did you know that Chiefs head coach Andy Reid used to coach the Eagles? Did you know that Jason and Travis Kelce are the first set of brothers to oppose each other in the big game? Did you know that Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni served as an assistant in various roles in Kansas City from 2009-2012? And on and on.
The most significant of these storylines may well be the one created by Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts. This Super Bowl will be first in which both starting quarterbacks are Black. And if you think that isn’t a big deal, maybe you don’t understand just how much Black quarterbacks have had to overcome to get to the place of possibility at all.
