Super Bowl 2023 Game is only a few weeks away, and there are many matchups that look enticing. Let's take a closer look at each team and some of the key players to keep an eye out for in this historic game.
Fox will have their broadcasting team of Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen calling the game, which is their first Super Bowl assignment since they took over from Joe Buck and Troy Aikman this offseason. Erin Andrews and Tom Rinaldi will also be on the sideline coverage team.
1. Kansas City Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs will look to make a historic run at their fifth Super Bowl title when they face the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023. This would be a rematch of Super Bowl LIV, which saw the Chiefs overcome a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the 49ers and earn their first championship in over 50 years.
The Chiefs are led by rookie quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who has shown that he can play at an elite level. He has also smashed numerous NFL records, including passing for the most touchdown passes in a season and totaling the most yards in a game.
2. Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles have a lot to play for in 2023. They’ve been the NFC’s best team all season, winning both of their divisional games and beating the 49ers in the conference title game.
They’ve also made their way back to the Super Bowl after four years without it. Despite their shaky quarterback and injuries, the team has plenty of momentum.
Philadelphia is led by a talented offensive line and a strong pass rush. They’ll need to continue that trend against Patrick Mahomes and a Kansas City defense that struggled in the first two weeks of the playoffs, including a lackluster performance against the Bucs in Super Bowl LV.
3. Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams won Super Bowl LVI last year, bringing their first NFL title to the City of Angels. Now they’re looking to win another big game.
They’re going to need their offense to improve, especially at quarterback. They’re also going to need some help from their running game.
That could be in the form of Cam Akers, who McVay has drafted with the 52nd pick in this year’s draft. He’s been a solid runner so far and he has a lot of potential to be the primary running back for this team.
4. Los Angeles Chargers
The Los Angeles Chargers have a storied history. They won their first AFC West title in 2006 and made it to the Super Bowl in 2010 and 2012.
This season, the Chargers are coming off a 9-7 record that was good enough to secure them a playoff spot. The team has an average defense but a young quarterback that should continue to improve with the help of a very good run game.
5. New England Patriots
Despite losing two Super Bowls, the New England Patriots have a history of dominance. They boast a star-studded roster led by quarterback Tom Brady and wide receivers Wes Welker and Rob Gronkowski.
They’re looking to make their fourth trip to the Super Bowl and they have a chance to break the record for most Super Bowl appearances in NFL history. In 2023, they’ll take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the biggest game of the year.
6. Pittsburgh Steelers
The Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots are two of the most storied franchises in the NFL. With 11 Super Bowl wins and only two losses, the two teams will have plenty of familiar faces to face in this classic matchup.
Among the key players to watch are quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, wide receiver Hines Ward, and running back Najee Harris. They all have the ability to make big plays and they will be key to a successful 2023 season for the Steelers.
