Super Bowl LVII is set to be played this coming weekend. The contest between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs promises to be a good one!
This will be the Eagles fourth appearance in a Super Bowl, with a 1-2 record. The birds are the designated home team for the game, which will be played in Glendale, Arizona. Jalen Hurts will be the youngest Eagle quarterback to start in a Super Bowl game and only the eighth QB to start in the competition for the Lombardy Trophy before his 25 birthday.
In the regular season, the Eagles won eight straight games and finished the season tied with a 14-3 record. They easily defeated their two playoff opponents to land in the upcoming contest, excelling on both sides of the ball.
While many will be tuning in for the game itself (including Eric & Andrew and most all of our extend family back East in the suburbs of Philadelphia), I will be more interested in the pregame and halftime performances, as well as the entertaining commercials that air during the game. Country singer Chris Stapleton will be singing the national anthem with Rihanna as the headliner for the halftime show. And while we’re enjoying the game, we’ll be munching on an iconic Philadelphia food, the Philly cheesesteak. Here it is turned into a dip and served in a bread bowl.
