There may be no better host for Super Bowl LIX than New Orleans, a city rich in supernatural lore. Either the Chiefs will complete their mystical season with an unprecedented three-peat, or the Eagles will revisit history by avenging their Super Bowl LVII loss to Patrick Mahomes and company.
To get here, the Chiefs survived a thriller against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC championship, while the Eagles steamrolled the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship. The last time these two teams met with the Lombardi Trophy on the line, Kansas City edged out a 38-35 victory.
But so much has changed in the two years since that showdown.
Philadelphia's backfield now runs through powerhouse Saquon Barkley, Mahomes has a revamped cast of wide receivers, and -- unrelated to football but very much relevant to pop culture -- Travis Kelce is dating Taylor Swift (ever heard of her?).
The teams may be familiar, but the stakes are bigger than ever. No matter the outcome, Super Bowl LIX is poised to deliver a history-making finale to the 2024 season. -- Brooke Pryor
