The major headlines heading into the Super Bowl matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles are Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts being the first set of black quarterbacks to start in the big game and Travis and Jason Kelce being the first brothers to square off for all the marbles.
Lost in all of this hoopla, is the possibility of a major postseason milestone.
When comes to the Chiefs' defense these days, the first name that comes to mind is defensive tackle Chris Jones who was named a first-team All-Pro in 2022 and finished tied for the third-most sacks with 15.5. However, defensive end Frank Clark is third all-time in postseason sacks with 13.5, and if he were to go crazy and racked up three on Sunday, he would surpass Willie McGinest for the most ever.
This won't be an easy task for Clark. The Eagles' offensive line, despite leading the NFL with 44 penalties in 2022, is considered to be the best unit of its kind in football. But, as has been the case in the Super Bowl since it began in the late 1960s, amazing performances happen all the time, and this is the perfect situation for Clark to reach down and pull one out on Sunday.
If the aforementioned Jones is causing havoc on the interior, it will make Clark's task a lot easier. Nonetheless, with Clark being so close to this record, one can't help be get excited about the possibility of seeing it. I mean, who doesn't like witnessing history?
