In the Super Bowl in New Orleans, the Kansas City Chiefs meet the Philadelphia Eagles. Some can create historical work, the other senses on revenge. These are the most important questions and answers about the game.
Where does the Super Bowl Lix rise?

At Sportschau.de and in the Sportschau-app there is a live ticker.
Who is the favorite?
This can hardly be said, because there is no classic underdog. The chiefs’ seasonal balance was 15-2 wins, which the Eagles at 14-3, there was no direct duel this season. The Eagles have the better group of passport recipients and in Saquon Barkley the best running back in the league, plus the better defense – possibly even the best of the NFL. In the quarterback position and also in terms of coaching and experience, the chiefs are much better positioned – Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid have been dominating the league as a duo for years and are a good deal ahead of their opponents Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni. Most betting providers are the chiefs of touch -thin favorites. Sportschau tip: 27:24 for the chiefs.
Who broadcasts the mega event?

What is going on in the Pregame and Halftime Show?

The 34th MTV Video Music Awards were awarded in Los Angeles on Sunday. The big winner of the evening was US rapper Kendrick Lamar with six prizes.
What about the “Three Peat” of the Chiefs?
There is currently a lot of talk of the “Three Peat” in the US media. In “Sport-German” you would most likely translate this with “title hanttrick”. In the Super Bowl era that started in 1967, no team has yet managed to win the title three times in a row. Not even the New England Patriots with Tom Brady. The Kansas City Chiefs now have the great opportunity to reach this historical brand. Before the Super Bowl existed in its current form, the Green Bay Packers won the championship three times between 1965 and 1967-but there have never been three Super Bowl victories in a row.
What does the duel of the quarterbacks look like?
Of course, the quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts are extremely important for this game. Mahomes is working hard to dispose of Tom Brady the unofficial title as Goat (Greatest of All Time) – for him it would be the fourth title in the fifth super bowl at the age of 29. This season, the chiefs’ offense rarely sprayed the great shine, had bad luck – Mahomes had to use all of his “magic” several times to somehow throw out narrow victories and reliably did so.
On the other hand, the 26-year-old Jalen Hurts is not to settle in the elite of the NFL Quarterbacks in terms of Passing Game and was by no means bad this season, but then benefited from the many outstanding players around him. As far as the running game is concerned, Hurts is still dangerous as ever, no quartersback gets out of touchdowns than Hurts this season. In the Super Bowl, however, he will probably also have to bring one of his best seasonal performances in the pass game.
Who are the others Key player?
The list of top players is particularly long for the Eagles. At the top of the list is Saquon Barkley, the running back Philadelphias ran the league in the ground after moving from New York – the chiefs cannot stop him – and this is actually not a team this season. Title open for the Eagles across the block.
Representing the outstanding defense of the Eagles, three outstanding youngsters are mentioned here: Jalen Carter (23) is already one of the biggest primeval forces in the league on the defensive line in his second NFL year. Further back in the defense are the two rookies Quinyon Mitchell (23) and Cooper Dejean (21) two of the greatest discoveries of the season. With the acceptance of Dejean, which the Eagles won in the second round, the defense stabilized after a weak start of the season – the two cornerbacks will have very important roles against Mahomes and covering his passport recipients in the Super Bowl. In the Eagles camp, you hope that you have already grown to print.
For the chiefs, there are currently still “old acquaintances”: In the offense, Travis Kelce is in best form in his possibly last NFL year on time for the playoffs. The friend of music superstar Taylor Swift is especially when the chiefs have to improvise in the field, the reliable passport recipient for Mahomes, with which he almost blindly understands. Line player Chris Jones has been one of the best in his position and equivalent to Jalen Carter on the other – and the chiefs also have a good young cornerback – Trent McDuffie in the defense of the chiefs for many years. AJ Brown deliver a hot duel.
How hard was the path of the finalists to the Super Bowl?
The chiefs had free time in the first round, then played quite confidently against Houston thanks to a strong defensive performance and a good Travis Kelce 23:14. The showdown against the eternal rival Buffalo Bills in the AFC finals was then much more gripping – in the end you had the front with 32:29 and Mahomes was an important factor, especially in the running game, as is often the case in the playoffs.
The Eagles initially had no problems against the Green Bay Packers at 22:10, then surprisingly difficult against the La Rams at 28:22 before they were 55:23 in the NFC final after three touchdowns by Saquon Barkley with 55:23 The surprise team of the Washington season rolled over.
How did the last super bowl go between the two teams again?
The Super Bowl LVII on February 12, 2023 was an offensive fire work. In the end, Kansas City won 38:35 in a game in which the Eagles had run with 24:14 at halftime. Eight seconds before the end, the chiefs scored the crucial points with a field goal. The defeat in the Super Bowl dropped the Eagles into a small crisis, the relationship between quarterback Hurts and coach Sirianni is said to have become more and more difficult afterwards, but they were narrowly reached the playoffs, but lost sang and soundlessly against Tampa Bay. But the team bought, played a significantly better season 2024/25 and is now pondering the revenge.
Will Donald Trump be in the stadium?
Yes, US President Donald Trump wants to be in the stadium at the Super Bowl. The White House confirmed that Trump was planning a visit to the Football Profiliga NFL. Trump would be the first incumbent president to attend a super bowl – for the already enormous security precautions, this should mean further tightening. During New Year’s Eve, an assassin was raced into a lot on the famous bourbon Street with a pick-up truck. Fourteen people were killed, around three dozen others were injured.
