Super Bowl LIX: Kansas City Chiefs Eye Three-Peat, Philadelphia Eagles Stand In The Way
Written by djfrosty on January 27, 2025
Super Bowl LIX takes place on Sunday, Feb. 9 and all eyes will be on the big game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. The Chiefs will look to three-peat at Super Bowl LIX, while the Eagles hope to spoil those plans.
On Sunday (Jan. 26), the NFC and AFC Championship games set off a full day of American football with the winners barreling full speed ahead to Super Bowl LIX. In the NFC Championship game, the Washington Commanders, led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, delivered a game effort but the Philadelphia Eagles and the attack from quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley proved too much for the burgundy and gold. The Eagles took that game 55-23 over the Commanders.
The AFC Championship game was a bit more competitive with Patrick Mahomes guiding the Chiefs in the intense showdown with the Buffalo Bills and their quarterback Josh Allen. After delivering knockout blows to one another, the Chiefs eked out a 32-29 win over the Bills.
The upcoming Super Bowl will be the next opportunity for Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and the Chiefs to take home the Vince Lombardi trophy for the third time in a row and would cement them as one of the top teams of the modern era. The Eagles have been here before themselves, last winning the Super Bowl in 2018 over the New England Patriots.
All eyes will certainly be on television sets and watch parties across the United States and the world. And even if the football game isn’t your thing, this year’s halftime show with Kendrick Lamar will be must-see television.
