Super Bowl festivities kick into high gear today in New Orleans, ahead of Sunday’s title game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles (6:30 pm ET, Fox). The pair faced off in a dramatic championship matchup two years ago, with Kansas City winning 38-35 on a last-second field goal.
Led by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs look to become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls (the Green Bay Packers won three straight NFL championships leading into the Super Bowl era). They'll face a dual threat in Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley, who combined for seven touchdowns in a rout of Washington two weeks ago. See top position matchups here.
Hip-hop star Kendrick Lamar, fresh off winning five Grammys, will perform at halftime, with an appearance from R&B singer SZA. Check out previews of the best commercial spots here.
