Kansas City’s quest to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls is a go. The Philadelphia Eagles are the last team standing that could stop them.
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are back in the NFL title game — which will be on Feb. 9 in New Orleans — after beating the Buffalo Bills 32-29 in a thrilling AFC championship game on Sunday. They’ll face Philadelphia and star running back Saquon Barkley, who ran for three touchdowns as the Eagles beat the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC title game.
The upcoming Super Bowl is a rematch of two years ago, when the Chiefs edged the Eagles 38-35 in Glendale, Arizona. Last year, Kansas City beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime in Las Vegas.
Here are a few more things to know as the Super Bowl approaches:
