This Sunday, February 9, the Eagles and Chiefs compete as part of the Super Bowl Lix.
Like every year, this is an event not to be missed for enthusiasts of American football. And this year, perhaps even more than usual, there are reasons that make this match a date that could count.
Why should we absolutely look at the Super Bowl Lix?
Here are 7 good reasons.
Because the Super Bowl Lix will be a historic match
The Green Bay Packers have more or less successful a hat -trick in the 1960s. They won the last NFL championship, then the first two Super Bowls. But without making them insult, the level of competition, the number of teams and sports density are no longer comparable to what is currently being done.
Win the Super Bowl three times in a row? No one did. Before the chiefs of this year, none of the eight teams having managed a double even managed to qualify for the Super Bowl behind.
Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid and the few players who have participated in the last two winning campaigns can enter history. We could talk about this super bowl for a very long time.
In addition, with a victory, Patrick Mahomes would already have four rings, and he would be ahead of Tom Brady's passage times at the same age (29). Andy Reid also continues to get back on Bill Belichick's victory totals. History, again.
Because the chiefs are the new patriots
They win. They have a star quarterback. A great coach. And the supporters of all the other teams think that the referees are with them. From 2002 to 2019, they were patriots.
The chiefs have resumed this role brilliantly.
Just as there was no plot to win the patriots (the NFL was literally in trial with Brady while he was still winning in New England), there is none to win the reds. In what interest? Kansas City is a small market. Why would the NFL then not win Dallas or New York, which explodes audiences even when they lose?
The chiefs just resumed the role of the big bad guy who wins everything. It may be annoying, but it marks the story.
Because it's a revenge
Want to vibrate for Philadelphia against the invincible chiefs? There will be another good reason: this match is a revenge of the Super Bowl lost by Philadelphia in 2023 against this same team of Kansas City.
The Eagles had led. They had believed there. But they had ended up cracking.
Jalen Hurts has a chance to redeem himself, which would only make history more beautiful.
Because Saquon Barkley
The best player in this Super Bowl Lix will probably wear the Eagles jersey. Saquon Barkley won more than 2,000 yards on the ground during the regular season. But he didn't stop there. In playoffs, he continued to unroll, with 442 yards and 5 touchdowns in just 3 games!
He rolled up on commanders in the conference final with a 60 yards touchdown from his first ball. Clearly: it can go to the end every time it touches the ball.
Its supports, speed and power are a treat to look at. This year, he passed over an in reverse defender. Yes, it makes no sense in writing, not really more in the image.
So you shouldn't sulk your pleasure.
Because Kendrick Lamar
For the first time since The Weeknd in 2021 and Lady Gaga in 2017, the NFL chose an artist who does not specially leave a semi (or full) retirement to come and play his best of.
Kendrick Lamar released a new album last November. An exit generally praised by criticism and who confirms that he is one of the major artists of the current hip hop scene.
You do not yet know Kendrick Lamar despite 17 Grammy Awards and its Pulitzer price? This will be an opportunity to expand your playlists. It is not every day that we discover new things at the Super Bowl.

Because it's the last game before September
It is the charm and the test of the NFL at the same time. A short, intense season, where every match counts. But also a long off -season. Very long.
Once the final whistle of the Super Bowl has finished reasoning, it will take almost seven months to review a game at stake!
So even if your team is not there, there are good reasons to enjoy the moment, without pressure, just for the love of American football.
