Live updates: Chiefs, Eagles face off in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans


Super Bowl LIX is finally here, and two of the preseason favorites to get to the end of the line — the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) and perennial NFC power Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) — have made it to New Orleans to meet for a chance to win the Lombardi Trophy. For Philadelphia, a win would be a second Super Bowl title in franchise history, with the other coming in a Super Bowl LII win over the then-Tom Brady-led Patriots. The Chiefs are looking to ascend to rare air with an unprecedented third-straight Super Bowl victory. Only the 1965-67 Green Bay Packers (an NFL title in 1965 to go along with winning the first two Super Bowls) have won three consecutive championships in the 105-season history of the NFL.

Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts led their teams to this same game two years ago. The Chiefs beat the Eagles in Super Bowl LVII in a 38-35 thriller. Harrison Butker hit a game-winning field goal with eight seconds to play to break a 35-all tie. Jalen Hurts threw for 304 yards and a score and also rushed for Super Bowl quarterback records of 70 yards and three touchdowns that night.

Time: 6:30. p.m. ET
Location: Caesars Superdome | New Orleans

    Fox Sports debuts new scorebug, to universally negative reaction

    The Super Bowl is often used by networks to debut their new scorebug, the box at the bottom of broadcasts displaying the score and other information, for the next year.

    Fox Sports did so for Super Bowl LIX and the result was… probably not what the network wanted. While many scorebugs take some getting used to, many found the new one on Fox to be large, distracting and overly minimalist.

    Simply put, it looked like the kind of graphics you see on local broadcasts for high school games.
