American football: “Write history”: Chiefs again in the Super Bowl

Travis Kelce celebrated almost like the Super Bowl on stage. When the star of the Kansas City Chiefs started singing and superstar Taylor Swift cheered just a few meters away, a lot reminded of the scenes after the triumph of the chiefs in Las Vegas a year ago. Even then, the self -confident model athlete Kelce announced that his team would first win the most important title in American Football in series – thanks to a 32:29 against the Buffalo Bills, the chiefs are now only a further victory. “We are never satisfied,” said Kelce, before he “Get Down Tonight” from Kc & the Sunshine Band.

“I lack the words,” said Chiefs Quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who, unlike Kelce, delivered a strong game, achieved two touchdowns through runs himself and prepared another by a pass. “It’s not about one or a few people, it’s all about this team. This is a team sport.” He looks forward to traveling to New Orleans: “Let’s write history.”

For the last time three championships in series in one of the big US professional leagues, according to the broadcaster CBS, won a quarter ago-at that time it was the basketball players of the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA. The chiefs are the fourth team that made it three times in a series into the Super Bowl. The Bills also belong to this circle, but have never won the trophy.

As two years ago: Chiefs meet Eagles again

On February 9th, the chiefs in New Orleans will be against the Philadelphia Eagles. Against her, the series from currently two Super Bowl triumphs started two years ago. At that time in Arizona the chiefs won 38:35 – this time the Eagles came with Saquon Barkley as a top performer. At 55:23 against the Washington Commanders around the German professional Brandon Coleman, the runningback came to three of their own touchdowns, two of them in the first two attacks of the game.

“I always dreamed of it. But the dream was not to be there, but to win,” said Barkley after the dominant performance, in which his quarterback Jaylen Hurts also convinced with three touchdowns and a touchdown pass.

Chiefs last lost in Playoffs three years ago

In the US state of Louisiana, the Eagles are now dealing with a Chiefs team that has not lost in the playoffs for three years and also found a way to victory against Bills. For the fourth time in the past five years, the chiefs have been to the playoffs end station for Buffalo. Quarterback Josh Allen won the past four games in the main round in the duel with Patrick Mahomes, but lost all four in the playoffs.

Because in the playoffs the chiefs have been as difficult to beat since the beginning of the Patrick Mahomes era as no other team in the NFL. Since he took over the job as a playmaker of the Chiefs, he always led his team to the AFC final in seven years. 2020, 2023 and 2024 the chiefs won the Super Bowl. Now you have the chance of the fourth title within six years. Kelce would then sing on stage again – and Swift would not celebrate far away on the lawn.
