The Kansas City Chiefs have secured their spot in Super Bowl LVII with a 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday. The win was secured by a 45-yard field goal from Harrison Butker in the final minutes of the game. This marks the third time in the last four years that the Chiefs have advanced to the Super Bowl. They will now face the Philadelphia Eagles in Glendale, Arizona on February 12th, with both teams vying for the Lombardi Trophy.
Despite a high ankle sprain and a lack of healthy receivers, quarterback Patrick Mahomes led the team to their first win over the Bengals since 2018, and the Chiefs will look to head coach Andy Reid to guide them to their second Super Bowl win.

On the other hand, the Eagles won the NFC Championship Game against the 49ers in a blowout fashion, with a final score of 31-7. Despite struggles on offense and a questionable catch by DeVonta Smith that was not challenged by the 49ers, the Eagles defense led by DeMeco Ryans played well and was able to capitalize on the 49ers’ mistakes. The Eagles will now head to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2017. The 49ers faced a number of roadblocks during the game, including injuries to Fred Warner and Brock Purdy, which forced them to play with a backup quarterback who was not physically capable of throwing the ball. The 49ers’ defense did well, but their lack of an offensive threat and penalties ultimately led to their defeat. The Eagles’ sprint to the Super Bowl is now complete.
