Just getting this far is already historic. No back-to-back champion has made it to the Super Bowl the next season.
Many neutrals hoped the Buffalo Bills, led by this season’s Most Valuable Player Josh Allen, would make it to Super Bowl 59.
But the Chiefs beat them 32-29 within the AFC Conference Championship and as they clinched victory, the group’s play-by-play announcer Mitch Holthus mentioned the Chiefs had “gone past Pluto”.
“To get to this point, to go further than any team has ever been, it transcends the NFL and becomes part of world sport history,” he advised BBC Sport.
“But to win this game, I think it would be an achievement that would never be done again.”
This is Kansas City’s fifth Super Bowl in six years and they’re going for a fourth win.
Many neutrals are bored of seeing them win; some have even claimed they obtain preferential therapy from officers.
When internet hosting the NFL’s annual awards on Thursday, rapper Snoop Dogg even joked that Sunday’s recreation will probably be an “incredible match-up between the Eagles… and the refs”.
But Holthus dismissed that as a “false narrative” and this week NFL commissioner Roger Goodell mentioned it was “ridiculous”, whereas Mahomes is pleased to maintain being “a villain”.
