Super Bowl LIX by the numbers: Key stats for Chiefs-Eagles - ESPN
Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles is inching closer and closer.
The two sides will meet in the Super Bowl on Sunday for the second time in three seasons. It's the second-shortest span between a Super Bowl rematch since the Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills played in the 1992 and 1993 seasons.
Their last matchup in Super Bowl LVII brought a combined 73 points, the third most in a Super Bowl. The Chiefs scored on all four of their second-half drives in that game, becoming the second team ever to do so in a Super Bowl.
Sunday marks the fifth Super Bowl in six years for the Chiefs — a win would make them the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls. On the other end, the Eagles are looking for their franchise's second Lombardi Trophy.
Here are more key numbers ahead of Super Bowl LIX.
.872: There has been a lot of winning going around for both teams.
Including the playoffs, Kansas City and Philadelphia have a combined win percentage of .872 — the second-highest combined win percentage entering a Super Bowl in the past 30 seasons. Only Super Bowl XXXIII between the Denver Broncos and Atlanta Falcons had a higher one at .889.
Four: Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Eagles' Jalen Hurts both started under center in Super Bowl LVII.
Hurts had a stellar game, throwing for 304 yards and a score, while running for 70 yards and three touchdowns. Mahomes had 182 passing yards and three touchdowns plus 44 yards on the ground.
Super Bowl LIX will mark the fourth instance of a quarterback rematch in the championship game, joining Eli Manning vs. Tom Brady, Troy Aikman vs. Jim Kelly, and Terry Bradshaw vs. Roger Staubach. In each of the previous three instances, the same quarterback won both times.
