Super Bowl LIX Cheat Sheet: 25 Things to Know About Chiefs Vs. Eagles
3. The Eagles faced defeat against the Chiefs in the Super Bowl two years ago, primarily due to several critical moments. Hurts lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown, coupled with a significant 65-yard punt return that set up another score. Yet, the major issue was the Eagles defense, which couldn’t handle the explosive Chiefs offense. Kansas City demonstrated an elite performance, scoring on four touchdowns and a field goal during eight possessions. The game showcased a strategic masterclass by Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes against the Eagles' defense.
4. What makes this matchup potentially different? The Eagles have brought in veteran defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Fangio transformed a unit that struggled in efficiency during 2023 into arguably the top defense in the league.
Best Super Bowl Players of All Time, Ranked
15. QB Patrick Mahomes
Undoubtedly phenomenal! However, Mahomes's Super Bowl record is intrigue-laden. At just 29, he is poised to become the first quarterback to appear in five Super Bowls before turning 30. As he approaches Super Bowl 59, he has celebrated three victories, along with MVP honors in each win (only Tom Brady surpasses this). However, he has also thrown five interceptions against seven touchdowns. Mahomes played heroically despite being overwhelmed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl 55 and wasn't the top quarterback during the last title bout against the Eagles. His Super Bowl QB rating sits at a modest 85.2. Nevertheless, Mahomes consistently shines in clutch moments, showcasing remarkable performances in his last outing against San Francisco where he amassed nearly 400 yards of offense.
Super Bowl 59 Touchdown Prop Bets
Travis Kelce (+125), a veteran tight end, leads the anytime touchdown odds for Kansas City. After a dip in his regular season performance, Kelce bounced back with substantial contributions in the postseason. Despite being later in his career, he remains a formidable scoring threat — snagging at least three postseason touchdowns for five consecutive years.
Kareem Hunt (+145), Chiefs’ running back is another strong candidate, having an impressive postseason compared to his teammate, Isiah Pacheco (+265), establishing himself firmly as the main back.
Rookie sensation Xavier Worthy (+165) is emerging as Mahomes' favorite target after scoring three touchdowns in the last five games, gradually solidifying his position as a crucial offensive weapon.
NFL Super Bowl 59 Ticket Prices
As of Sunday, the starting price for tickets at Vivid Seats for Super Bowl LIX is $3,346, while the median price rests at $6,304. This pricing aligns closely with ticket values during the Chiefs' 38-35 victory over the Eagles at Super Bowl LVII. Six days before that game, average ticket prices were recorded at $6,388.
Compared to other recent Super Bowls, these costs appear lower. Back in Super Bowl LV, where the Chiefs lost 31-9 to the Buccaneers, average ticket prices soared to $11,681 — driven up by limited availability drummed up by the COVID-19 pandemic.

2025 NFL Mock Draft Predictions
Kenneth Grant, DT Michigan
This roster has seen some effective talent but still possesses gaps that may need to be filled.

Grant, a hefty 342-pound defensive tackle with explosive abilities, could become a significant force, allowing for easier play from the Chiefs’ linebackers.
