Ethis weekend, the NFL lives what is usually the most historically remembered phase of its calendar, the Divisional Round where eight of the 32 teams in the league survive to continue looking for the two remaining tickets to play the Super Bowl LVII next Sunday, February 12 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
In all, there are obviously eight starting quarterbacks left in contention, however, after the removal of Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneersthe new generation has now taken over the main stage.
When did Patrick Mahomes win the Super Bowl?
This generational change implies little experience in important games, so much so that of the eight remaining quarterbacks, only one of them, Patrick Mahomesof the Kansas City Chiefscan boast of having raised the Vince Lombardi Trophy which he achieved when he defeated the San Francisco 49ers by a score of 31-20 in Super Bowl LIV played on February 2, 2020 at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida.
If we go not only to the Super Bowls won and also count the ones played, we only have two more cases to register, the Mahomes who lost Super Bowl LV a year later at Raymond James Stadium against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of Brady and last year when Joe Burrowof the Cincinnati Bengalsthey were defeated by Los Angeles Rams at Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.
This means that Josh Allen (Buffalo Bills), Trevor Lawrence (Jacksonville Jaguars), Jalen Hurts (Philadelphia Eagles), Brock Purdy (San Francisco 49ers), Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys) y Daniel Jones (New York Giants) They don’t know what it’s like to play in a Super Bowl.
It is worth mentioning the case of Jimmy Garoppolo, who although he is currently injured, still has the remote possibility of returning to the 49ers, taking Purdy’s starting job and in his case playing in his second Super Bowl since losing the NFL title. game Mahomes won. Additionally, Jimmy G won Super Bowls XLIX and LI as an alternate to Tom Brady with the New England Patriots .
