NFL-Chiefs chase 'three-peat' against Eagles as Trump travels to Super Bowl

NEW ORLEANS : The Kansas City Chiefs chase history with an unprecedented Super Bowl "three-peat" on the line when they step into the Superdome on Sunday, facing a Philadelphia Eagles team determined to deny them the dynasty-building win.

The Chiefs clipped the Eagles' wings two years ago, overcoming a 10-point halftime deficit to win the Lombardi Trophy in Super Bowl 57, and believe they have the right formula again led by golden-armed, twice-MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

The league-leading Eagles defense could upset the odds, however, while the addition of prolific running back Saquon Barkley from the New York Giants has given their versatile quarterback Jalen Hurts a great new option.

The clash will feature an inter-generational coaching showdown with 66-year-old Chiefs playcaller Andy Reid, one of most successful coaches in NFL history, facing off against his 43-year-old Philadelphia counterpart Nick Sirianni.

"He's got a lot of experience, that's for sure, won a lot of football games. I can't tell you how much respect I have for him and the job that he's done," Sirianni told reporters.

"The tape just oozes off of how good a coach he is."
