NPR sports correspondent Becky Sullivan has some tips for what to watch for in this year’s game:
A close, back-and-forth game: All signs point to a close game. The Eagles defense aims to limit big gains and force teams to beat them with small plays. But that’s exactly how the Chiefs like to win: Kansas City is 12-0 in one-score games this season. The Kansas City defense is no slouch either, and Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has struggled at times when pressured.
Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes: The key to the Chiefs’ three-peat hopes is their 29-year-old quarterback who is great all the time but somehow even better in high-stakes moments: in the playoffs, on 3rd and 4th downs and on game-ending drives.
The tush push: The Eagles have become known for their unusually successful take on the quarterback sneak. Here are the physics behind the play.
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley: After Philadelphia signed him last spring, Barkley has blossomed into the game-changer he always had the potential to be. He became only the ninth player ever to rush for more than 2,000 yards in the regular season, and he has more 60-plus-yard touchdown runs in one season than any player ever.
And some pre-game bonuses: Keep an eye out for Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins’ arrival outfit, and whether this Chiefs player tears up during the National Anthem.

Record-setting legal betting
A record $1.39 billion is expected to be spent on betting legally on Sunday’s Super Bowl — up from $1.25 billion in 2024, according to the American Gaming Association (AGA). It also coincides with warnings from officials to beware of scammers looking to take advantage of the intense interest in the game. Here are two reasons why this year could set a new record.
With the surge in sports betting, the risk of gambling addiction rises too. Here’s what can be done.

Today’s New Orleans is built on — and would suffer greatly without — tourism. About 17 million people visited New Orleans in 2022, spending more than $9 billion.

Raiders hiring former Eagles, 49ers HC Chip Kelly as offensive coordinator
Chip Kelly is back in the NFL after nearly a decade away.
The Raiders are hiring Kelly as their next offensive coordinator, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday.
Kelly, who served as offensive coordinator for the Ohio State Buckeyes during their run to the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship, last worked in the NFL as head coach of the San Francisco 49ers in 2016 following a stint as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles from 2013-2015.
He now joins Pete Carroll’s staff in Las Vegas looking to rectify an offense that ranked 29th in scoring during the 2024 campaign.
Around the NFL will have more on Kelly’s hiring shortly.
The Las Vegas Raiders have made a splashy hire, bringing in former Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly as their new offensive coordinator. Kelly, known for his innovative and fast-paced offensive schemes, will bring a new dynamic to the Raiders’ offense.Kelly’s hiring comes after the Raiders decided to part ways with former offensive coordinator Greg Olson. The move signals a shift towards a more aggressive and high-octane offensive approach for the Raiders, who are looking to take their offense to the next level.
Kelly’s tenure with both the Eagles and 49ers may have been mixed, but there’s no denying his ability to create explosive offenses. With star quarterback Derek Carr at the helm, Kelly will have plenty of weapons to work with, including standout running back Josh Jacobs and dynamic wide receiver Henry Ruggs III.
Raiders fans can expect to see a fast-paced and creative offensive attack under Kelly’s guidance. His track record speaks for itself, and he will surely bring a new energy and excitement to the Raiders’ offense.
It will be interesting to see how Kelly’s offensive philosophy meshes with head coach Jon Gruden’s vision for the team. But one thing is for sure – the Raiders’ offense just got a whole lot more dangerous with Chip Kelly calling the shots. Stay tuned for an exciting season ahead! #RaiderNation #ChipKelly #OffensiveCoordinator

FC Twente gaat zondagmiddag op bezoek bij Go Ahead Eagles. Twee weken geleden verloren de Tukkers dit onderonsje nog in het bekertoernooi.
FC Twente ging donderdag na een overwinning op Besiktas door in de Europa League, maar heeft het vizier nu weer op de Eredivisie. “Iedereen zit nog op de roze wolk, maar je hoort wel bij de spelers dat ze daar nog wat recht te zetten hebben”, vertelt Tijmen van Wissing in de Oosttribune. “Go Ahead-uit is denk ik lastiger dan Besiktas-thuis.”
Van Wissing adviseert Go Ahead Eagles om FC Twente vanaf de eerste minuut vol onder druk te zetten. “Ze waren het beste toen ze één op één gingen spelen, misschien kun je weer zo beginnen. Gewoon alles of niets”, doelt hij op de bekerwedstrijd in de Adelaarshorst. “Laat maar zien dat je FC Twente twee keer kunt bestrijden. Ik zou tegen dit FC Twente echt vol op de aanval gaan. Als je FC Twente laat voetballen komen ze weer in het ritme en dan moet Go Ahead voorkomen. Dan maar met 0-3 eraf, maar je moet toch laten zien dat je FC Twente twee keer de baas kan zijn.”
een nieuwe aanpak!”In een recent interview heeft voetbalanalist en oud-profvoetballer Van Wissing Go Ahead Eagles geadviseerd om een nieuwe aanpak te hanteren in hun spel. Na een teleurstellend seizoen waarin de club degradeerde, is het volgens Van Wissing tijd voor verandering.
“Dan maar met een nieuwe aanpak,” aldus Van Wissing. “Het is duidelijk dat het huidige spelersmateriaal niet voldoende is om succesvol te zijn in de Eredivisie. Er zal geïnvesteerd moeten worden in nieuwe spelers en wellicht ook in een nieuwe trainer die een frisse wind kan laten waaien door de club.”
Van Wissing benadrukt dat het belangrijk is om niet te lang stil te blijven staan bij de degradatie, maar juist vooruit te kijken en te werken aan een plan voor de toekomst. “Met de juiste aanpak en de juiste mindset kan Go Ahead Eagles zeker weer terugkeren naar de Eredivisie. Het zal niet makkelijk worden, maar met de juiste stappen en investeringen is het zeker mogelijk.”
Het is nu aan het bestuur en de technische staf van Go Ahead Eagles om te bepalen hoe zij verder willen gaan. Hopelijk zullen zij het advies van Van Wissing ter harte nemen en werken aan een nieuwe en succesvolle toekomst voor de club.

Chiefs vs. Eagles overview
USATSI
11. Kansas City is making its third straight Super Bowl appearance, becoming the first NFL team of the modern era to have a chance at a “three-peat,” having won its last two championship bids.
12. This is also the Chiefs’ fifth Super Bowl appearance of the last six years. They’ve advanced to — or past — seven straight AFC championships, coming within one game of matching the all-time record set by the New England Patriots from 2011-2018.
13. Super Bowl LIX is a rematch of Super Bowl LVII, when the Chiefs played the Eagles to close the 2022 season in Glendale, Arizona.
14. The Chiefs won that last Super Bowl meeting, 38-35, overcoming a 10-point halftime deficit to beat the Eagles on a last-minute field goal by Harrison Butker.
15. Kansas City’s 2022 title win included a polarizing fourth-quarter penalty on the Eagles, when cornerback James Bradberry was called for pass interference against Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, enabling the Chiefs to exhaust most of the remaining clock before Butker’s field goal.
16. The Eagles got a historic effort from quarterback Jalen Hurts in that Super Bowl. Then in just his third NFL season, Hurts totaled four touchdowns, including a Super Bowl-record three rushing scores, plus a successful two-point conversion that knotted the game at 35-35 in the closing minutes.
17. The Chiefs entered this postseason as the AFC’s No. 1 seed, finishing with an NFL-best 15-2 record and enjoying a first-round bye in the playoffs.
18. The Eagles claimed the NFC’s No. 2 seed with a 14-3 record, then won three straight home playoff games to reach the Super Bowl.
19. The two teams share history at the head coaching position: Chiefs coach Andy Reid spent 14 seasons running the Eagles from 1999-2012. Current Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, meanwhile, began his NFL career as a Chiefs assistant, working for Kansas City from 2009-2012.
20. Both teams have been prolific in terms of championship contention. Since 2004, only the Patriots have more combined playoff wins than the Chiefs (18) and Eagles (14).
21. The Chiefs are the NFL’s gold standard with perennial Super Bowl contention, but the Eagles are also making their third Super Bowl appearance of the last eight seasons.
Super Bowl history
USATSI
22. The Chiefs’ last Super Bowl win came at the end of the 2023 season, when they edged the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22, in Super Bowl LVIII, in the Las Vegas area.
23. Prior to the Chiefs’ back-to-back titles over the 49ers and Eagles from 2022-2023, Kansas City also appeared in Super Bowl LIV (2019 season) and Super Bowl LV (2020), vying for consecutive trophies.
24. The Chiefs won that first appearance, also against the 49ers, to cap quarterback Patrick Mahomes‘ second full season as the starter. Mahomes was named Super Bowl MVP that year, becoming one of the youngest signal-callers in NFL history to claim a Lombardi Trophy, at age 24.
25. The Chiefs lost their Super Bowl LV appearance to close the 2020 season, however, falling 31-9 to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Mahomes threw two interceptions under heavy pressure from Todd Bowles’ defense in that defeat, which marked Brady’s record seventh and final title.
26. Prior to their championship bout with the Chiefs in 2022, the Eagles also reached Super Bowl LII in 2017, famously upsetting Brady and the Patriots to claim their first-ever Lombardi Trophy. Those Eagles were led by backup quarterback Nick Foles, who won Super Bowl MVP as an injury replacement.
27. Super Bowl LIX marks the Chiefs’ seventh all-time Super Bowl appearance; they also lost Super Bowl I (1966 season) and won Super Bowl IV (1969). It also marks the Eagles’ fifth all-time appearance; they previously lost Super Bowl XV (1980) and Super Bowl XXXIX (2004).
Chiefs stars to watch

28. Mahomes hasn’t ranked among the NFL’s most dynamic passers in recent seasons, but he thrives in crunch time, leading the Chiefs to a record 17 straight one-score victories. His backyard-style mobility has especially come in handy during tight games.
29. Rookie wide receiver Xavier Worthy is arguably the team’s top big-play weapon thanks to his straight-line speed. He led all Chiefs receivers with six touchdown catches during the regular season.
30. Tight end Travis Kelce, who’s finishing his 12th season, remains Mahomes’ favorite target in the passing game. He logged a career-low 8.5 yards per catch this year but led the team with 97 receptions.
31. Defensive tackle Chris Jones remains one of the game’s premier interior defenders, leading the Chiefs’ fourth-ranked scoring defense with 61 quarterback pressures. The six-time All-Pro has also racked up nine tackles for loss, serving as the anchor to coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s unit.
32. Linebacker Nick Bolton is the missile at the heart of Spagnuolo’s defense, excelling not only as a run defender with a team-high 106 tackles but as a blitz artist, pressuring quarterbacks on 15% of his pass-rushing snaps. He’s also deflected six passes and logged 11 tackles in the backfield.
33. Cornerback Trent McDuffie is the top cover man in Kansas City, leading the team with 13 pass breakups. Pro Football Focus graded him as the third-best cornerback in the NFL this year.
34. Butker has been shakier since undergoing knee surgery in November, but he’s been money in the playoffs over the course of his career, converting 90% of postseason field goals.
Eagles stars to watch
USATSI
35. Hurts has endured clunky stretches as a thrower even in more of a run-first offense, but he’s been a master at situational ball control, totaling just one turnover in his seven playoff games since 2022. He’s also undeniable as a short-yardage runner, with 64 career scores, including playoffs.
36. Running back Saquon Barkley has enjoyed one of the best seasons in NFL history, which also happens to be his first in Philadelphia. A prized free agent signing from the rival New York Giants last offseason, he eclipsed 2,000 rushing yards in the regular season and remains an MVP candidate. Including the playoffs, he’s already logged 21 different carries of at least 20 yards.
37. Wide receiver A.J. Brown is the Eagles’ top downfield threat, averaging 16 yards per catch in tandem with DeVonta Smith on the perimeter. He’s hit 1,000 yards receiving in five of seven NFL seasons.
38. Offensive tackles Jordan Mailata and Lane Johnson help make up one of, if not the most formidable front in the NFL. Both big men excel at moving in space, helping pave the way for an explosive ground game, while leaning on the interior push of peers like Cam Jurgens and Landon Dickerson.
39. Defensive tackle Jalen Carter, who’s in just his second NFL season, has emerged as one of the league’s most disruptive talents. Endlessly physical, he led the Eagles with 12 tackles for loss.
40. Linebacker Zack Baun went from offseason flyer to All-Pro stalwart under the direction of coordinator Vic Fangio. He’s been around the ball on basically every Eagles takeaway, with five forced fumbles.
41. Rookie cornerbacks Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean have helped steady a once-porous Eagles secondary, pairing with veteran corner Darius Slay and ball-hawking safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson to give Philadelphia the NFL’s top-ranked pass defense during the regular season.
Key questions
Getty Images
42. Will the Chiefs go heavy on the blitz? Hurts hasn’t always fared well when flushed out of the pocket, and suffered an ugly 2023 playoff loss in the face of strong pressure. Spagnuolo, meanwhile, has built a sturdy reputation when it comes to sending extra rushers at precisely the right time.
43. Can Barkley run free (again)? All year, teams have tried and failed to contain the Eagles’ new running back. And while the Chiefs boast a top-10 run defense, they’ll also have to account for an elite group of pass weapons on the Eagles’ end, including tackle-shedding tight end Dallas Goedert.
44. Will the Chiefs keep Mahomes upright? Kansas City also boasts a battle-tested front, with Pro Bowlers like Joe Thuney and Creed Humphrey holding things down. Carter has been a warrior in the middle, though, and the young Nolan Smith Jr. has also emerged off the edge for the Eagles.
45. Can the Eagles match the Chiefs’ situational strategy? Reid’s creative play design does a lot to elevate an otherwise so-so crop of talent around Mahomes, whereas Sirianni and Kellen Moore’s Eagles offense has been fairly predictable, leaning mostly on the sheer star power of the players in the lineup.
Injuries to monitor
46. The Chiefs have endured the absence of a slew of wideouts, including 2023 standout Rashee Rice, but are otherwise healthy at the skill spots.
47. Right tackle Jawaan Taylor, who sat out Week 18 with a knee injury, is still recovering from that ailment going into the Chiefs’ final week of practice before the big game.
48. The Eagles are battling several bruises in the trenches, with both Dickerson (knee) and Jurgens (back) missing early practices after fighting through pain in the NFC Championship.
49. DeVonta Smith is also nursing a hamstring injury for the Eagles, but is expected to play.
Super Bowl odds
50. The Chiefs opened as 2-point favorites, per SportsLine consensus odds. They are currently 1.5-point favorites over the Eagles, according to the oddsmakers.
51. The opening Over-Under point total for Super Bowl LIX was 49.5, per SportsLine.
52. Mahomes is the betting favorite to win Super Bowl MVP, which would be his fourth such honor. Barkley is next in line on oddsmakers’ list of favorites for the game’s top individual award.
Miscellaneous notes
USATSI
53. The Eagles are the designated “home” team for the game; this designation rotates between the AFC and NFC each year. As a result, they got first choice of their uniform for the game, and elected to wear their signature Midnight Green jerseys, which they also wore against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII.
54. With the Eagles wearing green, the Chiefs will wear their white away jerseys. Teams wearing white jerseys in the Super Bowl are 16-4 in the last 20 title games. The only two teams to win wearing home colors over the last decade are … the Chiefs and the Eagles.
55. Ron Torbert will serve as the game’s referee. He previously refereed Super Bowl LVI (2021).
56. Grammy-winning singer Jon Batiste will perform the pregame national anthem, while Ledisi will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
57. Lauren Daigle and Trombone Shorty will perform “America the Beautiful.”
58. Grammy-winning rapper Kendrick Lamar will headline the halftime show.

#Super #Bowl #today #Chiefs #Eagles #date #start #timeJon Stewart wore Eagles jersey to Knicks game after Jalen Brunson bet
Comedian and Daily Show host Jon Stewart is a huge New York sports fan.
However, he wore Philadelphia Eagles gear to Saturday night’s New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden after losing a bet to Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson.
Back in September 2024, Stewart and Brunson made a friendly wager with each other over the outcome of a New York Giants and Eagles game since they are fans of the teams, respectively.
The terms of the bet? Stewart would wear an Eagles jersey to a Knicks game if Philly won, and Brunson would wear a jersey of Stewart’s choice to MSG.
Well, the Eagles came out on top, so Stewart wore a Saquon Barkley Eagles jersey to Saturday night’s Knicks game… a double wammy for a Giants fan.
Brunson gave Stewart a hug at the game, as he was surely elated to see his beloved Eagles repped at a Knicks game before the team plays in next Sunday’s Super Bowl.
As for Stewart, he sure looked miserable, but good for him for being a good sport and honoring the terms of the bet!

Jon Stewart shows his Philly pride at Knicks game in Eagles jersey after losing bet to Jalen BrunsonFormer “Daily Show” host Jon Stewart made a bold statement at a recent New York Knicks game by donning an Eagles jersey in honor of a lost bet with Dallas Mavericks player Jalen Brunson.
The bet, made during the NFL playoffs, had Stewart wagering that his beloved New York Giants would advance further than Brunson’s Philadelphia Eagles. However, the Eagles outperformed the Giants, leading Stewart to pay up by wearing the rival team’s jersey to the Knicks game.
Stewart’s good-natured sportsmanship and sense of humor were on full display as he cheered on the Knicks in his Eagles gear, much to the amusement of fans and players alike. The sight of the longtime Giants fan sporting Philadelphia’s colors was certainly a sight to see, but it also served as a reminder of the camaraderie and fun that sports can bring.
Despite the friendly rivalry, it’s clear that Stewart’s loyalty to his team remains unwavering. And who knows, maybe next time he’ll come out on top and get to see Brunson sporting Giants gear at a future game. Until then, the Eagles jersey serves as a reminder of a good-spirited bet and a fun night at the game.

Jalen Brunson-Jon Stewart bet, explained: Why comedian is wearing an Eagles jersey to Knicks-Lakers matchup
Jalen Brunson may be a Knicks star, but he is a proud Eagles fan. The former Villanova product is always sure to display his Eagles fandom, especially when they go on a run to the Super Bowl.
Of course, that can ruffle some feathers in New York, as many Knicks fans are Giants fans who hate Philadelphia teams. Among those fans is comedian Jon Stewart, who made a bet with Brunson for the NFL season, which Brunson ultimately won.
On Saturday night, with the Knicks hosting the Lakers, Stewart is paying off that bet by wearing a Saquon Barkley Eagles jersey to the game.

Here’s a breakdown of the bet between Brunson and Stewart, dating back all the way to the beginning of the NFL season.

Jalen Brunson-Jon Stewart bet, explained
On September 8, before the NBA season began and as the NFL season was first unfolding, Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart had Jon Stewart as a guest on their “Roommates Show: Block Party” live show. During the show, Eagles fan Brunson made a bet with Giants fan Stewart for when the Eagles and Giants met in the regular season.
The bet went as follows: If the Eagles won, Stewart had to wear a Saquon Barkley Eahles jersey to a Knicks game. If the Giants win, Stewart got to choose a jersey for Brunson to wear when entering the arena before a game.
Jalen Brunson and Jon Stewart on a bet for when the Giants play the Eagles:
*If PHIL wins, Jon has to wear a Saquon Barkley Eagles jersey to a Knicks game*
*If NYG win, Jalen would wear any jersey of Jon’s choice to the arena*

The Giants and Eagles played twice in the regular season, leaving the door open for a 1-1 record, but it didn’t matter: Philadelphia won both matchups. Therefore, Stewart lost the bet, which he is paying off tonight.
Where is Jon Stewart from?
Stewart is a native New Yorker, having grown up in New York City, and he’s spent most of his life in the area. As a result, Stewart is a fan of all New York sports teams, including the Knicks, Giants, Mets and Rangers.
Where is Jalen Brunson from?
Brunson spent the first part of his life in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which is located right outside the city of Philadelphia. While he moved a lot as a kid, which includes settling near Chicago for high school, Brunson adopted the Eagles as his favorite NFL team and he remains a proud fan despite playing in New York now.
Jalen Brunson-Jon Stewart Bet Explained: Why Comedian is Wearing an Eagles Jersey to Knicks-Lakers MatchupIn a surprising turn of events, comedian Jon Stewart found himself donning an Eagles jersey at a recent Knicks-Lakers matchup. So, what’s the story behind this unexpected wardrobe choice?
It all started when Stewart, a die-hard Philadelphia Eagles fan, made a bet with Dallas Mavericks player Jalen Brunson, who happens to be a loyal Cowboys supporter. The stakes were high: the loser had to wear the jersey of the opposing team to a high-profile sporting event.
Unfortunately for Stewart, the Cowboys fell short in their matchup against the Eagles, leading to Brunson claiming victory in the bet. True to his word, Stewart showed up to the Knicks-Lakers game sporting the green and white colors of his rival team.
While it may have been a tough loss for Stewart, it’s all in good fun and sportsmanship. The comedian took the bet in stride and even managed to poke some fun at himself during the game.
So, next time you see Jon Stewart rocking an Eagles jersey, just remember it’s all part of a friendly wager between two sports fans. And who knows, maybe this bet will lead to more entertaining challenges between these unlikely rivals in the future.

#Super #Bowl #whos #performing #national #anthem #Super #Bowl #LIX #ahead #Chiefs #EaglesPhiladelphia Eagles Gift Super Bowl Tickets to Survivor of New Orleans Attack
The Philadelphia Eagles are taking a very special guest with them to the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
On Jan, 30, the Eagles shared a video of the moment that defensive end Brandon Graham told Ryan Quigley, a longtime super fan of the team who was injured in the New Year’s Attack in New Orleans, that he was going to the big game on Feb. 9.
Quigley was injured in the attack and tragically, his best friend Tiger Bech was one of the 14 people killed on Bourbon Street that day.
The Eagles invited Quigley to their facility to give him the big news, where he told Graham that he had promised Bech, who he would attend games with, that he would take him to the Super Bowl if the Eagles returned.
“He would love nothing more than to be there,” an emotional Quigley said of his late friend.
“And I’m going to make sure he’s there with us, you know? I’m sharing his story,” Quigley added. “That’s my calling.”
Bech’s sister, Ginnie, was also invited to join Quigley at the Eagles facility, where she shed tears and said that “such a negative memory” has turned into a “really beautiful and cool” way to honor her brother’s life. “It’s really meant so much,” she added.

“We’re going to go back to New Orleans and leave on a positive note from that city, given that Tiger’s from there and that I promised him I was going bring him down to the Super Bowl,” Quigley told College Sports Only after the visit to the Eagles facility.
According to CBS, Graham said it “means a lot” that Quigley will return to New Orleans to support the Eagles in the Super Bowl.
“I know he said in his mind he didn’t want to go back to New Orleans because of what happened … And I know for me, I wanted to change that for him to conquer his fears.”
The Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2025 Super Bowl on Feb. 9, in a rematch of the 2023 game.
Quigley and Bech were on Bourbon Street on Jan. 1 when a pickup truck plowed through the streets, killing 14 people and injuring many more.
The Philadelphia Eagles have made a heartwarming gesture by gifting Super Bowl tickets to a survivor of a recent attack in New Orleans. The recipient, who wishes to remain anonymous, was a victim of a violent assault that left them hospitalized and facing a long road to recovery.In a statement released by the Eagles organization, they expressed their sympathy for the survivor and their family, and their desire to bring some joy and positivity into their lives during this difficult time. The team hopes that attending the Super Bowl will provide a much-needed distraction and opportunity for the survivor to create new, positive memories.
This act of kindness and generosity is a reminder of the power of sports to bring people together and uplift those in need. The Eagles’ gesture is a shining example of compassion and support, and we applaud them for their thoughtfulness. Let’s hope that this gift brings some comfort and joy to the survivor as they continue on their journey to recovery.
