This Sunday, January 9, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles will play for the NFL title in Super Bowl LIX at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Throughout the history of this game that began in 1967, the records have been imposed year after year, and this time it is expected to be no exception, from the very appearance of one of the two teams, since the Chiefs could become the first team to win three Super Bowls in a row.

In addition, their quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, appearing for the fifth time, is on track to approach several of the passing marks in the history of the game.
Although he is far from reaching the records that Tom Brady compiled in his career with 10 appearances, Mahomes could continue to get closer to the best marks in history.
Kansas City and Philadelphia, who are in Super Sunday for the second time in three years, have the ability to set several of the historical records over the years.
