Key facts on Super Bowl LIX and how to watch on TSN
Published
On Sunday, Feb. 9 the 2024 National Football League season will come to a close as Super Bowl LIX is played at the Ceasars Superdome in New Orleans.
The matchup features a rematch of the title game from two years ago with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs trying to become the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls going up against Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, and the Philadelphia Eagles.
Kansas City returns to the Super Bowl after a thrilling 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills that saw four lead changes and 752 total yards of offence in the AFC Championship Game. The Chiefs took a lead that they would never relinquish on a field goal with just over three and a half minutes in the fourth quarter and the defence stood strong the rest of the way for the win.
Mahomes threw for 245 passing yards with one passing touchdown and two rushing touchdowns while Xavier Worthy had 85 receiving yards with touchdown in the victory.
A narrow victory is nothing new for the Chiefs with the team setting an NFL record of winning 17 consecutive games decided by one score.
The Eagles trip to Super Bowl LIX wasn't as dramatic, but no less resounding, pummeling the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC Championship Game.
Most valuable player candidate Saquon Barkley stole the show early, running for two touchdowns in the first half and eventually ending up with 118 rushing yards with three touchdowns.
Jalen Hurts continued to prove that he is a star in the NFL, throwing for 246 yards with a passing touchdown and three rushing touchdowns in the victory.
Philadelphia was one of the hottest teams entering the NFL playoffs, winning 15 of their last 16 games dating back to Week 6. Their only loss came at the hands of the Commanders 36-33 in Week 16 after Hurts left the game with a concussion.
