Super Bowl LIX: Kansas City Chiefs vs Philadelphia Eagles
The Kansas City Chiefs are aiming to create NFL history by winning a third straight NFL championship.
They have reached the Super Bowl in an incredible five of the past six seasons, taking home the Lombardi Trophy three times during that stretch.
Kansas City went 15-2 during the regular season – although 11 of the Chiefs’ wins came by one score.
Riding their luck became the theme, but during the post-season the Chiefs have shifted up a gear. They eliminated Houston 23-14 and Buffalo 32-29 in the AFC Championship Game to secure another Super Bowl appearance.
The Chiefs’ superstars shine on the biggest stage and there are none bigger than Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.
The Philadelphia Eagles will be making their fifth Super Bowl appearance and second in three years.
Philadelphia is seeking revenge having fallen to the Chiefs 38-35 at Super Bowl LVII in 2023. A field goal with eight seconds remaining was all that separated the two sides.
The Eagles’ offensive is firing. The 55 points scored in the NFC Championship win over Washington was the most in a Conference championship game since 1970.
Philadelphia’s 39 rushing touchdowns this season is the second most in NFL history.
Saquon Barkley has 2447 rushing yards heading into the Super Bowl, the second highest total in a season in NFL history – behind only Broncos Hall of Fame running back Terrell Davis’.
Jordan Mailata will once again fly the flag for Australia on Super Bowl day. The 165kg left tackle has had another impressive season and the NFL continues to shower him with accolades. All that remains is a Super Bowl ring.
The Super Bowl LIX Half-Time show will see rapper Kendrick Lamar hit the stage.
Lamar is fresh off a year of critical acclaim, including two of the year’s biggest hits ‘Not Like Us’ and ‘Like That’.
The rapper has amassed 17 Grammy Awards and in 2018 won a Pulitzer Prize for his album ‘Damn’.
Super Bowl Half-Time is known for its special guest appearances and while no names have been officially announced, Taylor Swift will be in the building, cheering on Chiefs’ star Travis Kelce.
ESPN will provide extensive digital coverage across ESPN.com.au and the ESPN App, plus live scores, in-game highlights and reaction.
ESPN Australia will be on ground in New Orleans, showcasing the colour and spectacle of the Super Bowl.
