The Super Bowl LVII 2023 is around the corner and the Kansas City Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles in what’s set to be a very interesting duel at Arizona. In case one of those teams doesn’t get the victory, there’s still a prize money for the losers.
The Chiefs and Eaglesare the only two teams remaining in the 2022 NFL season. They have really competitive rosters, but only one can take the Vince Lombardi trophy back home.
Speaking of the losers, theNFLdoesn’t forget about them and, even though they couldn’t get the victory, the league has something prepared for them in a very attractive prize money.
Prize money for the losers of the Super Bowl 2023
Of course it is never easy to lose a game, even more if it is the Super Bowl. Despite that situation, members of the losing team receive some extra money to reward their effort during the entire season.
According to the NFL’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, the amount each member of the losing Super Bowl team received in 2021 was $75,000 an increase of $10,000 from the previous year.
