The Greatest Story on Turf: Super Bowl Rematch 2024

The Greatest Story on Turf: Super Bowl Rematch 2024 presents the storylines of the Super Bowl along with a winner prediction winner at the bottom.

Chiefs vs. Eagles

Hurts vs. Mahomes II

Patrick Mahomes vs. Jalen Hurts two. This Super Bowl is a Black History Month treat. For the second time ever, two black quarterbacks will face off at the Super Bowl. Also, it's just the 5th time this century that two teams will have a rematch in the Super Bowl. It's just the second time in the 21st century that two QBs will have a Super Bowl rematch with the same teams they played for the first time.

History offers encouraging precedent for both sides. In the only other Super Bowl quarterback rematch, the quarterback who won the first one also won the rematch. Eli Manning beat Tom Brady back-to-back. If Mahomes wins, he would be Eli in this scenario. Also, in all the team rematches of the 21st century, the original team has won both times. The Chiefs beat the 49ers twice. The Giants beat the Patriots twice. The Patriots beat the Rams twice in two different decades.

In Jalen Hurts' favor, there is one known instance in the 21st century of a team winning their Super Bowl rematch: the Eagles. The only time a team has won their rematch is when Nick Foles slayed the Patriots, avenging the Donovan McNabb Eagles, who fell to the Patriots a decade before. Also, every team that has defeated a division rival in the conference championship game in the 21st century has gone on to win the Super Bowl. The Ravens beat the Steelers and then won the Super Bowl. The Packers defeated the Bears and then won the Super Bowl. The Rams beat the 49ers and won the Super Bowl. Will the Eagles continue the trend after beating the Commanders?

However, the Chiefs will not be trying to follow history this year; they are trying to make it. The Chiefs are trying to win three Super Bowls in a row, a level of dominance that has never been seen in the NFL. This would be like the first half of Jordan's six rings in the 90s. This accomplishment would cement the Chiefs as one of the greatest dynasties ever. The Chiefs have cruised through the regular season and playoffs again. The Chiefs are as cool and calm in close games as they are in blowouts. They always seem to make the play when it needs to be made. However, how long can the Chiefs remain excellent? Even the undefeated Patriots lost one game, and it was the Super Bowl. Will the Chiefs finally make a mistake, or are they just that good?

Jalen Hurts knows all about how one mistake can cost you. He put on one of the best Super Bowl performances by a quarterback. People still blame Jalen Hurts for the loss because of a botched handoff exchange on a blown play that led to a TD, even though Jalen Hurts went right back and got the lead for his team. Last time the Eagles defense completely crapped out against the Chiefs. However, this time, Jalen is showing up with a defense that is peaking when it matters most, and he has even more help on offense.

Saquon Barkley was traded in the division by the Giants rather than paid because the NFL, especially the Giants, were arrogant and down on the running back position. Saquon is changing all of that. In his first year there, Saquon is helping bring the Eagles back to the Super Bowl. People like First Takes Nick Wright said that Saquon Barkley wouldn't make much of a difference for the Eagles. Now, everyone is being shown that RBs matter. But the job isn't finished yet.

Saquon is finally getting to play meaningful football. He and the Eagles have to cash in because they may never get another chance. For Jalen Hurts, this game has even more meaning. If he topples this dynasty like his predecessor Nick Foles toppled the Patriots Dynasty, he will be the first black running quarterback to win a Super Bowl. This Super Bowl will be historic! But for who?
