The NFL playoffs have been filled with juicy storylines and elite matchups the last three weeks and it all leads us to this defining moment yet again: the Super Bowl. There’s no sporting event in the U.S. that garners more viewers and hype on a yearly basis. NFL diehards are going to be treated to a rematch of the big game from 2023 between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs. Philly trounced the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship by a score of 55-23. Saquon Barkley and the Eagles’ stout offensive line were overwhelming against Jayden Daniels and the younger Washington squad.
Kansas City got revenge over Buffalo for their regular season loss to the Bills with a narrow 32-29 victory during the AFC title round. It was the fourth consecutive playoff win for the Chiefs over the Bills. Now the Eagles and Chiefs meet again with all the cards on the table. Kansas City is going for three straight Super Bowls, and the Eagles are attempting a second one in the last 10 years. This is how to watch the Super Bowl and what to expect during Super Bowl LIX.
Super Bowl LIX
Time: Sunday, February 9, 2025, 6:30 PM ET
Where to watch: FOX, stream on Tubi
Fans claim they have Chiefs fatigue after seeing Kansas City in the last game of the year five times since 2018, but football fans will still tune in to see the fate of the NFL’s most controversial and successful juggernaut. The Chiefs have a great team in every way. From the greatness of Patrick Mahomes at quarterback to the genius play calling of Andy Reid, Kansas City is always ready for whatever a team throws at them. This was evident during the AFC Championship game when Patrick Mahomes ran for 43 yards and two rushing touchdowns in the game. Mahomes is usually known for his passing exploits, but he proved he could change up his game when the moment asks for it. The Eagles have a great defensive line so expect Mahomes to tweak his approach again if the blitz gets to him throughout the Super Bowl.
Philadelphia is a powerhouse, physical team that will rely on the running of Saquon Barkley, but Kansas City has a way of taking away what you want to do throughout a game. The Eagles might ask quarterback Jalen Hurts to do more than he’s used to with passing the ball if the Chiefs limit Barkley. Another wild card aspect of the game is the coaching of Eagle’s headman Nick Siriani. He says he can’t wait to get back to the championship round and get the title they missed out on in 2023. Siriani is a big talker whose personality fits Philadelphia perfectly.
The game can be viewed on FOX and streamed on Tubi. The previous NFL playoff games could be viewed on streamers such as Peacock and also on Paramount+, but the Super Bowl has limited viewing options compared to the previous playoff games. Kendrick Lamar will perform the halftime show. Seven-time champion Tom Brady will be making his Super Bowl broadcasting debut with FOX.
