<p>The <a href="https://www.on3.com/news/super-bowl-lvii-how-philadelphia-eagles-starters-ranked-as-recruits/">Philadelphia Eagles</a> have looked comfortable early in <a href="https://www.on3.com/news/kansas-city-chiefs-philadelphia-eagles-final-inactives-super-bowl-lviii/">Super Bowl LVII</a>. That fact was only further evidenced by what the connection of <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/jalen-hurts-138227/">Jalen Hurts</a> and <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/aj-brown-55/">AJ Brown</a> did early in the second quarter.</p>



<p>With a clean pocket, Hurts ripped one near midfield to a streaking Brown. With defense around him in the secondary, the Eagles receiver made a fantastic adjustment to get behind <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/trent-mcduffie-115303/">Trent McDuffie</a> and score the touchdown.</p>

<p>Brown has been a welcome addition to Philly considering what he has done since the Titans traded him last offseason. He has been one of Hurts’ top targets as the Eagle’s leader in catches, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns this season. He also finished second in targets to only <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/devonta-smith-36522/">Devonta Smith</a>.</p>



<p>Considering where Philadelphia currently is, Brown was worth everything they paid to get him during the previous <a href="https://www.on3.com/category/nfl-draft/news/">NFL Draft</a>. Now, they’re hoping he and Hurts can keep on connecting in order to help the franchise lift the Lombardi Trophy tonight.</p>



<h2 id="h-watch-chris-stapleton-performs-national-anthem-ahead-of-super-bowl-lvii">WATCH: Chris Stapleton performs National Anthem ahead of Super Bowl LVII</h2>



<p>Acclaimed country musician Chris Stapleton gave us a lovely rendition of the national anthem at Super Bowl 57. And did or didn’t help your prop bet on the anthem length hit.</p>



<p>It was a relatively simple rendition, with Stapleton crooning into the microphone. The crowd in Phoenix drank it up before the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs played in the last — and biggest — <a href="https://www.on3.com/category/pros/news/">NFL</a> game of the season.</p>



<p>It’s likely a contrast from what we’ll get from Rhianna during the halftime show, a nice changeup for the presentation of the colors ahead of the Super Bowl.</p>

<p>“Lift Every Voice and Sing,” known as the Black national anthem, was performed prior by Sheryl Lee Ralph — also popular for her role as Barbara Howard in the TV series “Abbott Elementary.” She got to perform it on the 123rd anniversary of the first public performance of the song.</p>
