After an exciting season, a compelling matchup in Super Bowl LVII will kick off in less than two weeks in Arizona. The Philadelphia Eagles will play the Kansas City Chiefs — with the Eagles as the designated “home” team due to the NFL rotating NFC and AFC teams as hosts — for the right to hoist the Vince Lombardi Trophy. The Eagles are looking to win their second Super Bowl in six years, while the Chiefs are vying to win their second ring since 2019.
There are two big narratives heading into this game: Andy Reid coaching against his old team, and the first Super Bowl pitting brothers — Travis and Jason Kelce — against one another. Both brothers have already put together careers that will eventually land them in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The two teams last met in Week 4 of the 2021 season, with the Chiefs winning a 42-30 shootout behind Patrick Mahomes’ five touchdown passes. Jalen Hurts, in what was just his eighth career start, threw for 387 yards and two touchdowns.
Let’s take a look at each team’s roster, starting with the AFC champions.
