Prepare for trivia

Here’s some Super Bowl facts to help you bring home your own trophy.
  • Oh snap — This is the Chiefs’ fourth trip to the Super Bowl in the last five years.
  • The Chiefs last won the Super Bowl in 2023 against the Philadelphia Eagles, with a 38-35 finish.
  • Deja vu? 2020 marked Patrick Mahomes’ second year starting. He took the Chiefs to the Super Bowl and faced off against the 49ers, bringing home the Lombardi trophy with a 31-20 score.
  • This (will be) the Chiefs’ second consecutive win — everyone keep those fingers and toes crossed.
