A straight rematch of Super Bowl LIX saw the reigning champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, travel to Arrowhead Stadium to take on a Chiefs side who fell agonizingly short of a three-peat last year. The Eagles were coming off an absorbing opening game victory that saw them defeat the Cowboys 24-20, but things were very different for the Chiefs. A surprise 27-21 defeat against the LA Chargers saw them get off to an unusually slow start. Given the heights both teams have hit in recent seasons, there was plenty to play for in terms of bragging rights and honor.
