Super Bowl LVII Preview: Top Players to Watch as the Chiefs Take On the Eagles

Every Super Bowl is a treat, but Super Bowl LVII—Sunday, Feb. 12 at 6:30 p.m. (EST) on FOX—is shaping up to be an especially great one. The Kansas City Chiefs have one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the sport (as well as some other treasures), and the Philadelphia Eagles have one of the most well-rounded teams the NFL has seen in many years. Watching a recently injured Patrick Mahomes try to solve an Eagles defense that had four players reach 11 sacks or more will be fascinating. It’ll also be thrilling to watch the Chiefs defense deal with a Philly offense that has found all kinds of innovative ways to torch opponents.

This Super Bowl will be power against power. It will also be “Kelce against Kelce,” as Chiefs superstar tight end Travis and Eagles stud center Jason put their parents in an exciting but awkward situation—which team do they root for? Here are six players worth focusing on as you watch the Chiefs and Eagles on Super Bowl Sunday.

Super Bowl LVII Preview: 6 Top Players to Watch

1. Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs Quarterback

Mahomes needs no introduction, but it’d be silly to talk about individual players in Super Bowl LVII and not gush about him for a moment. In the modern NFL, it doesn’t get better than what Mahomes and the Chiefs have done together in his first five years as the starting quarterback. He has yet to miss an AFC Championship, and this marks the third of what will, in all likelihood, be a long list of Super Bowl appearances. (He’s 1–1 to date.)

The Chiefs have undergone more change on offense this year than in recent seasons, but Mahomes’ continued presence has been the main reason they’ve kept scoring… and scoring… and scoring. Mahomes is a magician, and his talent gives the Chiefs a chance even when things aren’t going smoothly. To that end, he keyed a win against the Bengals in the AFC title game just eight days after suffering a high ankle sprain. When Mahomes is on the field, he’s a terror.
