The Pittsburgh Steelers traded Pickett to the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2024 offseason after he played two seasons with the franchise. The quarterback saw limited action in the regular season but started in one game when Hurts was in the concussion protocols, leading the Eagles to a 41–7 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17.
Pickett finished the regular season with 291 yards on 25 passes, with two touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed for 15 yards and a touchdown in five appearances. Pickett replaced Hurts late in the NFC championship game against the Washington Commanders to kneel out the 55–23 victory and send Philly to the Super Bowl.
The Eagles also have Tanner McKee as their third-choice quarterback for Sunday's big game. He started in Week 18 when Philly beat the New York Giants 20–13.
The Eagles drafted Mckee in the sixth round in 2023. In two appearances this season, he completed 30 of 45 passes for 232 yards and four touchdowns.
Although the Eagles have two talented young quarterbacks in their armory, they will want Hurts to play every rep of the Super Bowl against the Chiefs.
