ESPN anchor Chris Berman’s remark following the Super Bowl confused Twitter users.

Berman noted quarterbacks for the Kansas City Chiefs Patrick Mahomes and Philadelphia Eagles Jalen Hurts became the first Black quarterbacks to start during the same Super Bowl.

“Also, of course, two African American quarterbacks starting against each other in the Super Bowl for the first time. Fittingly, February 12th is Abe Lincoln’s birthday,” Berman said.

The Chiefs were declared Super Bowl champions after defeating the Eagles 38-35.

“We just challenged each other, man, to leave everything out there, and I don’t wanna say we played tight in the first half, but you didn’t see that same joy that we play with,” Mahomes said following the game.

He added, “And I wanted guys to just know that everything we worked for is for this moment. You have to enjoy this moment. You can’t let the moment overtake you. And I thought the guys did that in the second half and they fought to the very end. That’s all you can ask. These guys leave everything they have on the football field.”

Chiefs coach Andy Reid explained Mahomes “wants to be the greatest player ever. That’s what he wants to do and that’s the way he goes about his business and he does it humbly.”

He continued, “I mean, there’s no bragging. He could stand up here and give you these stats that are incredible that he’s had but he’s never gonna do that. That’s just not him. We appreciate that.”
