This year’s Super Bowl will be more than a big game — it’ll make history.

Two Black quarterbacks will face off for the first time in the championship matchup, with Jalen Hurts of the Philadelphia Eagles and Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs taking their teams to Super Bowl LVII.

Hurts and the Eagles have had a strong season with a 14-3 record. The 24-year-old quarterback clutched the spot for his team on Sunday with a 31-7 win over the San Francisco 49ers.

Yahoo Sports reported that Hurts threw for 121 yards and ran for 39 yards. After winning the NFC championship, Hurts discussed his growth with the team that he’s taking to the big dance, according to ESPN.

“My first year here [people] probably didn’t even want [me drafted] here,” Hurts said, the outlet reported. “It was probably one of those things. But it always handles itself. It was a big surprise to many. My favorite [Bible] verse, I went through a lot of stuff in college and it kind of stuck with me, John 13:7: ‘You may not know now but later you’ll understand.’ Hopefully people understand.”

His counterpart, Mahomes, powered through the pain of an injured ankle, and the Chiefs beat the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. The 27-year-old threw a whopping 326 yards and landed two touchdowns.
