PHOENIX - To commemorate Super Bowl LVII, we bring you 57 facts and tidbits about Super Bowls, the Kansas City Chiefs, Philadelphia Eagles, Super Bowls and, of course, the Giants.
I - This is the first Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl, but both teams are past winners of the title game. Kansas City is 2-2 in Super Bowls including 1-1 under current coach Andy Reid. The Chiefs defeated Minnesota in Super Bowl IV, 23-7 and San Francisco in Super Bowl LIV, 31-20. They lost to Green Bay in Super Bowl I, 35-10, and Tampa Bay in Super Bowl LV, 31-9.
Philadelphia is 1-2 in Super Bowls, losing to the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XV, 27-10 and New England in Super Bowl XXXIX, 24-21. The Eagles defeated the Patriots five years ago in Super Bowl, LII, 41-33.
II - This is the sixth Super Bowl matchup between the number one seed in both conferences since 2000 (and the first since then without Tom Brady or Peyton Manning).
Super Bowl Matchups Between Number One Seeds Since 2000:
Super Bowl LII: Philadelphia 41, New England 33
Super Bowl 50: Denver 24, Carolina 10
Super Bowl XLIX: New England 28, Seattle 24
Super Bowl XLVIII: Seattle 43, Denver 8
Super Bowl XLIV: New Orleans 31, Indianapolis 17
III - The Chiefs & Eagles share several noteworthy similarities beyond their top seeds (figures include the postseason):
Kansas City
Playoff Seed: First
W-L: 16-3
Points Scored: 546
Yards/Carry: 4.6
Postseason Takeaways: 4
Philadelphia
Playoff Seed: First
W-L: 16-3
Points Scored: 546
Yards/Carry: 4.6
Postseason Takeaways: 4
IV - This is the first Super Bowl in which both teams scored the exact same number of points entering the game, including playoffs (546).
V - Reid is the fifth head coach to face his former team (that he was also head coach for) in the Super Bowl. Reid reached Super Bowl XXXIX with the Eagles in the 2004 season (and lost to the Patriots). Former Giants coach Dan Reeves was the only other coach to face a team he reached the Super Bowl with. Reeves led Denver to three Super Bowls in the 1980s and the Atlanta Falcons to Super Bowl XXXIII against the Broncos. Reeves, Minnesota's Bud Grant and Buffalo's Marv Levy are the only other coaches with 0-4 Super Bowl records. Grant and Levy are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Reeves, despite a career in which he was both a productive player and successful coach, is not.
The other coaches to face their former teams in a Super Bowl are the Jets' Weeb Ewbank in Super Bowl III (Baltimore Colts), Tampa Bay's Jon Gruden in Super Bowl XXXVII (Oakland), and Seattle's Pete Carroll in Super Bowl XLIX (New England). Ewbank and Gruden were winners.
VI - This is the first of the 57 Super Bowls with two starting Black quarterbacks. Patrick Mahomes is playing in his third for Kansas City and Jalen Hurts in his first for Philadelphia. Mahomes is 1-1 in Super Bowls and can become the only Black quarterback with multiple Super Bowl victories. Hurts will be the eighth Black quarterback to start a Super Bowl, and second for the Eagles:
Doug Williams (Washington) – Won Super Bowl XXII
Steve McNair (Tennessee) – Lost Super Bowl XXXIV
Donovan McNabb (Philadelphia) – Lost Super Bowl XXXIX
Colin Kaepernick (San Francisco) – Lost Super Bowl XLVII
Russell Wilson (Seattle) – Won Super Bowl XLVII, Lost Super Bowl XLIX
Cam Newton (Carolina) – Lost Super Bowl 50
Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City) – Won Super Bowl LIV, Lost Super Bowl LV
VII - Mahomes (27 years and 148 days old) and Hurts (24 years and 189 days old), have the youngest combined age (51 years and 337 days) by starting quarterbacks in a Super Bowl. The previous record was 51 years and 350 days by Hall of Famers Joe Montana and Dan Marino in Super Bowl XIX.
VIII - Hurts can become the fourth starting quarterback under the age of 25 to win a Super Bowl, joining Pittsburgh's Ben Roethlisberger (23 years and 340 days old in Super Bowl XL), Mahomes (24 years and 138 days old in Super Bowl LIV), and Tom Brady (24 years and 184 days old in Super Bowl XXXVI).
IX - Mahomes led the NFL with 41 touchdown passes in the regular season while Hurts led all quarterbacks with 13 rushing touchdowns. This will be the first ever matchup between a quarterback with 30+ touchdown passes and one with 10+ rushing scores in the Super Bowl. The only other time the passing touchdowns leader and the quarterbacks rushing touchdown leader faced off for the championship was in the 1999 season, when NFL MVP Kurt Warner and the Rams defeated McNair and the Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV.
X - The Giants are 4-1 in Super Bowls. Their .800 winning percentage ties them with the Green Bay Packers for the highest among the 18 franchises that have played in at least three Super Bowls. The Giants are one of six franchises to win at least four Super Bowls. Their Super Bowl victories are tied for the NFL's fourth-highest total. New England and Pittsburgh have won six Super Bowls, Dallas and San Francisco have won five, and the Giants are tied with Green Bay at four. In their five Super Bowls, the Giants scored 104 points and allowed 104 points.

XI - Philadelphia led the NFL with 70 regular-season sacks, while the Chiefs were second with 55. This will be the second Super Bowl matchup between the top two teams in regular season sacks (not including teams that tied for second). The 2007 Giants team that won Super Bowl XLII had an NFL-high 53 sacks. The undefeated Patriots team they beat was second with 47 sacks. The trend continued in the Giants' 17-14 victory, when they had five sacks of Tom Brady and New England had three of Eli Manning. The Eagles are looking to become the sixth team to lead the league in sacks and win the Super Bowl in the same season.
XII - The Eagles also enter Super Bowl LVII with a single-season NFL record 39 rushing touchdowns and can become the fourth team since 1990 to lead the NFL in rushing touchdowns and win the Super Bowl in the same season, joining Washington in 1991 (Super Bowl XXVI), Dallas in 1995 (Super Bowl XXX), and Denver in 1998 (Super Bowl XXXIII).
XIII - Thirty-two sets of brothers have played in the Super Bowl, including Eli and Peyton Manning. Philadelphia center Jason Kelce and Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce are set to make history as the first brothers to play in a Super Bowl as opponents. They are the fourth set of brothers to appear in the same Super Bowl, joining Miami's Glenn and Lyle Blackwood (Super Bowls XVII and XIX), Cincinnati's Archie and Ray Griffin (Super Bowl XVI) and New England's Devin and Jason McCourty (Super Bowl LIII). The Kelce's have combined for nine first-team All-Pro selections, the most of any brother duo in NFL history (with at least one selection each), surpassing J.J. and T.J. Watt (eight).
XIV - The NFC East is the only division in which all four teams have at least one Super Bowl victory. The Giants' division has four more Super Bowl triumphs than any other and could add another on Sunday.
NFC East: 13 AFC West: 8
AFC East: 9 NFC North: 5
AFC North: 8 NFC South: 3
NFC West: 8 AFC South: 2
XV - Kickoff returns in the first 56 Super Bowls: 447. Kickoff return touchdowns: 10. Punt returns in the first 56 Super Bowls: 245. Punt return touchdowns: 0.
XVI - The Eagles won their two postseason games by 31 points against the Giants and 24 vs. San Francisco. They are the fifth team to win both the divisional playoff and conference championship game by at least 21 points. Each of the previous four teams won the Super Bowl – the 1978 Pittsburgh Steelers, 1985 Chicago Bears, and the 1988 and 1989 San Francisco 49ers.
XVII - The Chiefs will wear white jerseys and the Eagles will wear green jerseys on Sunday. Teams wearing white jerseys have won 15 of the last 18 Super Bowls, and two of the dark jersey winners will play Sunday. The exceptions are the Packers (green) over the Steelers (white) in Super Bowl XLV, the Eagles (green) over Patriots (white) in Super Bowl LII, and the Chiefs (red) over 49ers (white) in Super Bowl LIV.
The Chiefs have worn red jerseys in each of their last three Super Bowl appearances (IV, LIV and LV), but wore white in Super Bowl I vs Green Bay. Mahomes has never appeared in a playoff game in a white jersey. He has played 11 postseason games at home in two Super Bowls and wore a red jersey in every one of them.
XVIII - When the Chiefs defeated Cincinnati in the AFC Championship Game, Reid earned his 21st postseason victory, passing Hall of Famer Tom Landry (20) for the second-most playoff wins by a head coach in NFL history (Bill Belichick has 31).
XIX - Mahomes has thrown 192 regular-season touchdown passes in six seasons. Hall of Famer and three-time Super Bowl winner Troy Aikman played 12 seasons for Dallas – and threw 165 touchdown passes.
XX - This is the 10th all-time matchup between the Chiefs and Eagles. Reid is 6-0 in such games (3-0 with Kansas City vs. Philadelphia and 3-0 with Philadelphia vs. Kansas City).
XXI - Thirty-six years ago, Giants quarterback Phil Simms set a Super Bowl record that still stands when he completed 88% of his passes (22 of 25) in a 39-20 rout of the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XXI.
XXII - Tom Coughlin, who led the Giants to victories in Super Bowls XLII and XLVI, is one of eight coaches to win multiple Super Bowls without a loss.
XXIII - Super Bowl LVII will be played in State Farm Stadium, the home of the Arizona Cardinals. The Super Bowl winner will finish the season with more victories there than the Cardinals, who were a lowly 1-8 at home in 2022. That record included a 44-21 loss to the Chiefs in Week 1 and a 20-17 defeat to the Eagles in Week 5. So, the winner Sunday will have two victories in State Farm Stadium this season, or one more than the team that calls the place home.
This will be the third instance in history that a team wins a Super Bowl in a stadium where they finished with more victories there than the stadium's home team that season. The 1968 Jets won in Miami in Week 15 and upset Baltimore in Super Bowl III in the Orange Bowl, where the Dolphins had just one victory that season. And in Super Bowl XV in the 1980 season, the Raiders defeated Philadelphia in the Superdome, where the 1-15 Saints were winless. That New Orleans team was quarterbacked by Archie Manning and lost its first 14 games before beating the Jets in Shea Stadium on Dec. 14.
XXIV - The designated home team is 23-33 in Super Bowls and has lost 12 of the last 16, including the Bengals last year in Super Bowl LVI vs. the Rams in SoFi Stadium (the Rams' home). The AFC and NFC alternate home designation each year. Philadelphia is the home team Sunday.
The team scoring first in the Super Bowl in 37-19, including 9-3 in the last 12 games – the exceptions are the 2016 Falcons (who blew a 28-3 lead and lost to New England), the 2019 49ers (who allowed 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter), and the 2020 Chiefs (who scored the first three points in a 31-9 loss).
XXV - Reid, at 64 years and 330 days old on Sunday, can become the fourth-oldest head coach to win a Super Bowl, behind Bruce Arians, Bill Belichick and Coughlin in Super Bowl XLVI (65 years, 158 days). Philadelphia head coach Nick Sirianni will be 41 years and 242 days old on Sunday and can become the fifth-youngest head coach to win a Super Bowl, behind Sean McVay, Mike Tomlin, Jon Gruden and John Madden. Sirianni would also become the ninth individual to win a Super Bowl within his first two seasons as a head coach and the first since his predecessor in Philadelphia, Doug Pederson, five years ago.
XXVI - The 23-year, 88-day age difference between Reid and Sirianni is the second largest between head coaches in Super Bowl history. Four years ago, Belichick was 33 years, 283 days older than McVay when the Patriots defeated the Rams.
XXVII - For the 18th consecutive season, the NFL will have a new Super Bowl champion, extending the longest streak without a repeat winner in league history. The last team to win consecutive Super Bowls was the 2003-04 Patriots.
XXVIII - The team with the most total yards in the Super Bowl is 42-14.
XXIX - Eli Manning (2-0) is one of six quarterbacks to start more than one Super Bowl without a defeat. The others are Terry Bradshaw and Joe Montana (both 4-0), Aikman (3-0), Jim Plunkett and Bart Starr (both 2-0).
XXX - The team with fewer turnovers is 38-6 in Super Bowls (the teams had the same turnover totals in 12 games).
XXXI - Hurts can become the first quarterback to win the Super Bowl wearing No. 1. The only other Super Bowl quarterback to wear that number was Cam Newton, whose Panthers lost to Denver in Super Bowl 50. Mahomes is one of three quarterbacks to win a Super Bowl wearing No. 15. The others were Green Bay's Bart Starr (I and II) and the Giants' Jeff Hostetler (XXV).
XXXII - Although he's not yet 25, Hurts cannot assume he will again reach this plateau. The last 17 quarterbacks to lose their Super Bowl debut have not made it back to the game. And that doesn't include Marino, who played in the Super Bowl in his second season and never returned. Of the 34 previous quarterbacks who lost their Super Bowl debut, only Len Dawson, Craig Morton, Fran Tarkenton, Bob Griese, John Elway, and Jim Kellymade it back.

XXXIII - In the 51 Super Bowls in which they were not one of the competing teams, the Giants played the eventual champion 37 times in the regular season. They are 2-35 in those games, defeating the-then 13-0 Denver Broncos in 1998 and the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2008. The Giants are 6-26 against Super Bowl losers. The Giants were 0-2 vs. the Eagles in the regular season.
XXXIV - Defensive end Justin Tuck, who is in the Giants' Ring of Honor, sacked Brady twice in both Super Bowls XLII and XLVI. Tuck and Von Miller are the only players in NFL history with multiple sacks in multiple Super Bowls. Tuck's 4.0 sacks in two Super Bowls are the third-highest total in the game's history. Pro Football Hall of Famer Charles Haley had 4.5 sacks in five games, and Miller had 4.5 in two games for the Broncos and Rams. Individual sacks did not become an official statistic until 1982 (Super Bowl XVII).
XXXV - The Rams' victory last season increased the NFC's Super Bowl lead over the AFC to 29-27.
XXXVI - Twenty-eight players on the Super Bowl LVII rosters have Super Bowl experience; 19 on the Chiefs (including 10 with multiple Super Bowls), and nine on the Eagles (only Ndamukong Suh has played in multiple Super Bowls). Kansas City guard Joe Thuney is the only player on either roster to have played in more than two Super Bowls (LI, LII and LIII with New England). Kansas City's players have appeared in a combined 320 playoff games, while Philadelphia's roster has played in 232 postseason games.
XXXVII - Suh, who signed with Philadelphia on Nov. 17, will become the sixth player to appear in the Super Bowl for three different franchises. He played in Super Bowl LIII with the Rams and Super Bowl LV with the Buccaneers. Suh will join Joe Jurevicius (Giants, Buccaneers, Seahawks), Rod Woodson (Steelers, Ravens, Raiders), Bill Romanowski (49ers, Broncos, Raiders), Preston Pearson (Colts, Steelers, Cowboys), and Harry Swayne (Chargers, Broncos, Ravens) on the short list of players who have worn three different uniforms in the Super Bowl. A handful of other players have been on the roster of three different franchises that made the Super Bowl but didn't play in Super Bowls with all three teams.
XXXVIII - Mahomes led the NFL with 5,250 passing yards and could become the first player to throw for at least 5,000 yards and win the Super Bowl in the same season. The current passing yardage record in a season by a Super Bowl winner is 4,933 yards by Eli Manning in 2011. This will be the seventh Super Bowl to feature a starting quarterback who led the regular season in passing yards, and each of the previous six lost: Marino (1984), Kurt Warner (2001), Rich Gannon (2002), Tom Brady (2007), Peyton Manning (2013) and Brady (2017). Brady lost Super Bowl LII to the Eagles despite throwing for a Super Bowl record 505 yards in the game. Mahomes' 41 touchdown passes would tie two Rams quarterbacks – Kurt Warner in 1999 and Matthew Stafford in 2021 for the most by a player to win a Super Bowl.
XXXIX - Mahomes will face the league's top pass defense in Philadelphia, which allowed 179.8 passing yards per game. There have been two previous instances of the passing yardage leader and the top passing defense meeting in a Super Bowl, each was won by the team with the top-ranked pass defense. In Super Bowl XXXVII, Gannon and the Raiders lost to Tampa Bay, and in Super Bowl XLVIII, Peyton Manning and the Broncos fell to Seattle.
However…Mahomes has faced the top-ranked pass defense in the playoffs twice before - in Super Bowl LIV vs. the 49ers and a 2021 divisional round game vs. the Bills. He totaled 664 passing yards and five touchdowns and won both games.
XL - Mahomes must reverse another trend if he is to lead the Chiefs to victory. At the NFL Honors on Thursday night, he received his second NFL Most Valuable Player award. The last nine MVPs to advance to the Super Bowl have lost the game: Warner in 2001, Gannon in 2002, Shaun Alexander in 2005, Brady in 2007, Peyton Manning in 2009 and 2013, Cam Newton in 2015, Matt Ryan in 2016, and Brady in 2017. The last MVP to play on a Super Bowl-winning team was Warner with the 1999 St. Louis Rams.
XLI - Ten players selected NFL MVP played for Super Bowl winners in the same season: Bart Starr in 1966, Terry Bradshaw in 1978, Mark Moseley in 1982, Lawrence Taylor in 1986, Joe Montana in 1989, Emmitt Smith in 1993, Steve Young in 1994, Brett Favre in 1996, Terrell Davis in 1998, and Warner in 1999. Starr, Bradshaw, Montana, Smith, Young and Warner were also named Super Bowl MVP.
XLII - The team leading at halftime in the Super Bowl is 41-11 (there have been four ties). The Giants trailed at the half in each of their five Super Bowls, twice by a 10-9 score (XXI vs. Denver and XLVI against New England). Their highest first-half point total in a Super Bowl was 10 against Buffalo in XXV (they trailed, 12-10).
XLIII - Sixty-six players have won Super Bowls with more than one team, including 10 who played in at least one with the Giants: Matt Bahr, Jim Burt, Matt Cavanaugh, Dave Duerson, Kenny Hill, Bart Oates, Elvis Patterson, Jason Pierre-Paul, Grey Ruegamer, and Jeff Rutledge. Cavanaugh was in uniform in Super Bowl XXV but did not play.
XLIV - The Chiefs are tough to beat with extra rest. Including playoffs, the Chiefs are 10-1 in their last 11 games following a bye week, with the only loss coming to the Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV. In his career, Reid is 28-4 after a bye. Kansas City is also tough to put away. They have won seven straight games in which they have trailed after three quarters.
XLV - Twelve teams have never won the Super Bowl. Eight have played in the Super Bowl but lost: Minnesota (four times), Buffalo (four), Cincinnati (three), Carolina (two), Atlanta (two), Los Angeles Chargers (one), Tennessee (one) and Arizona (one).
Four teams have never appeared in the Super Bowl: Cleveland, Detroit, Houston, and Jacksonville.
XLVI - The winning team receives permanent possession of the Vince Lombardi Trophy, a sterling silver trophy created by Tiffany & Company. The trophy was named for the late Vince Lombardi – who coached Green Bay to victory in the first two Super Bowls - before Super Bowl V. The trophy is a regulation-size silver football mounted in a kicking position on a pyramid-like stand of three concave sides. The trophy stands 20.75 inches tall, weighs 107.3 ounces, and is valued in excess of $10,000.
XLVII - There has never been a shutout in a Super Bowl; the 1971 Dolphins (VI) and the 2018 Rams (LIII) and are tied for fewest points (3).
XLVIII - Of the 57 Super Bowl MVP awards (including co-winners in Super Bowl XII), 31 have been won by quarterbacks, including two by Eli Manning and one by Simms. The other Giants MVP was Ottis Anderson in Super Bowl XXV. Dallas linebacker Chuck Howley, the MVP of Super Bowl V, was the only player on a losing team to win the award.
A wide receiver has won MVP in two of the four 4 Super Bowls (Julian Edelman in Super Bowl LIII and Cooper Kupp last year).

Only 10 defensive players have been named Super Bowl MVP
XLIX - Linebacker/long snapper Steve DeOssie (Super Bowl XXV) and long snapper Zak DeOssie (XLII and XLVI) both won Super Bowls with the Giants, the only father/son duo to win the game with the same team.
50 - The Giants' victory against Buffalo in XXV and the Rams' victory against Tennessee in XXXIV are the only Super Bowls in which neither team committed a turnover.
LI - The team with the most passing yards in the Super Bowl is 30-26.
LII - Eight former Giants assistant coaches have led teams to Super Bowls as head coaches. Six of the eight have won at least one Super Bowl. Former Giants assistant coaches are 15-10 as head coaches in Super Bowls.

LIV - Teams that win the coin toss have lost eight consecutive Super Bowls and are 24-32 all-time. The Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII were the last team to win the coin toss and be crowned champions. The last 12 teams to win the coin toss have all deferred. The last team to not defer was the Saints in Super Bowl XLIV who chose to receive, and then began the second half with an onside kick. Thirteen of the last 14 teams to win the coin toss deferred (coin toss winners of the first 42 Super Bowls elected to receive).
LV - Phoenix is the fifth metro area to host at least four Super Bowls. Super Bowl LVII is the third to be played in State Farm Stadium (formerly University of Phoenix Stadium). The first Arizona Super Bowl was Dallas' victory against Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XXX in Sun Devil Stadium. The Giants' epic 17-14 victory against the 18-0 Patriots was the first Super Bowl played at the site of Sunday's game.
Metropolitan Areas to Host the Most Super Bowls
Miami: 11
New Orleans: 10
Los Angeles: 8
Tampa: 5
Phoenix: 4
LVI - The previous Super Bowls played in State Farm Stadium produced two of the most notable plays in Super Bowl history: David Tyree's remarkable helmet catch with 1:15 left to help the Giants upset the previously undefeated Patriots in Super Bowl XLII, and Malcolm Butler interception of a Russell Wilson pass at the goal line with 26 seconds left in the game to clinch the Patriots' victory over the Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX.
LVII- *Super Bowl LVIII will be held on Feb. 11, 2024, in Las Vegas, which will become the 16th metropolitan area to host a Super Bowl.
