The Chiefs have come a long way from the decades of playoff heartbreaks, but there have been a few times they didn’t make the big game since 2017.

Many played big roles in the last Super Bowl meeting. Hurts rushed for three TDs and threw a 45-yard scoring strike to Brown, while Mahomes threw three TD passes, including one to Kelce, Nick Bolton returned a fumble for a touchdown and Harrison Butker kicked the game-winning field goal with 8 seconds left.

The Eagles’ defensive edge is considerably smaller. Philadelphia allowed the fewest points and second-fewest yards in the NFL during the regular season, while Kansas City yielded the fourth-fewest points and ninth-fewest yards.
