Is President Joe Biden an Eagles fan? POTUS all in on Jalen Hurts and co.
The Super Bowl is the biggest game of the season for Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles, as well as Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. Arguably the most important person in the country, the President of the United States, has given his support to one of these teams.
President Joe Biden said he would not explicitly support one team over the other, but he would favor the Eagles for his wife's sake.
As your president, I’m not picking favorites.
But as Jill Biden’s husband, fly Eagles, fly. twitter.com/flotus/status/…
He tweeted:
"As your president, I’m not picking favorites. But as Jill Biden’s husband, fly Eagles, fly."
Biden is not necessarily a fan of the Eagles, but his wife is. Jill Biden posted a video showcasing her support for the Eagles, and the President tweeted his agreement from the official POTUS account.
How have Jalen Hurts and the Eagles fared thus far?
The Eagles, and Jalen Hurts especially, have experienced the highs and lows of Super Bowl action thus far. Their opening drive was perfect as Hurts was methodical moving down the field
The Chiefs matched them stride for stride and leveled the score, but missed a field goal on a subsequent drive. The Eagles took advantage and scored on a 45-yard touchdown pass to A.J. Brown. That gave them the lead.
When the Eagles forced a punt, things were looking good. Unfortunately for them, the quarterback fumbled on a scramble and the Chiefs returned it for a touchdown.
That tied the game once again, but Hurts and company didn't stay down for long. After a massive fourth-down run by Jalen Hurts, the quarterback kept it to score from three yards out to give the Eagles the lead once again.
This is already a very high-scoring game and the Eagles offense doesn't look like it's going to slow down any time soon.
This very well could end up being one of the highest scoring Super Bowls of all time if Hurts and Mahomes continue to put on a show like they have thus far.
