Madden NFL 23′s official simulation has the Philadelphia Eagles beating the Kansas City Chiefs, 31-17. The simulation also predicts Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts will be named Super Bowl MVP.
If this prediction were to come true, it would be the third-straight playoff game in which the Eagles scored 30-plus points. Philadelphia beat the San Francisco 49ers, 31-7, to win the NFC Championship and before that beat the New York Giants, 38-7, in the Divisional Round.
Here are some more Super Bowl fun facts, per Eagles PR:
This is the third Super Bowl appearance under Jeffrey Lurie’s ownership, having previously reached the league’s championship game during the 2004 and 2017 seasons.
Currently, Philadelphia is the fourth NFL team to reach three Super Bowls dating back to 2004, joining New England (seven), Pittsburgh (three) and Seattle (three). The Eagles are also the fourth franchise to appear in multiple Super Bowls since 2017, joining Kansas City (two), L.A. Rams (two) and New England (two) in that span.
