ne of the biggest annual sporting events on the planet is almost upon us as the NFL’s Super Bowl takes centre stage once again in February.
Hundreds of millions of fans around the world will tune in once more to the enduring jewel in the American sporting crown, with no shortage of muscial entertaiment and those hugely expensive commercials also on offer in addition to the unmissable action on the field.
The 57th edition of the Super Bowl – LVII – takes us to Arizona, where the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs will duel for supremacy in a mouthwatering match-up of two loaded teams and star quarterbacks.
The Chiefs are back on this familiar hallowed stage after exacting revenge on the Cincinnati Bengals in their fifth straight AFC Championship game appearance, with the great Patrick Mahomes throwing two touchdowns and later scrambling to set up a last-gasp winning field goal from Harrison Butker to triumph 23-20 in a nervy affair at Arrowhead Stadium.
Kansas City will get all they can handle from Jalen Hurts and an incredibly well-rounded Eagles team, who claimed their fourth NFC title with a one-sided 31-7 beatdown of the injury-ravaged San Francisco 49ers at Lincoln Financial Field.
