The Chiefs are the closest thing to a dynasty the NFL has at the moment: thanks, in no small part, to their brilliant quarterback Patrick Mahomes they have reached the Super Bowl in four of the past fi ve seasons.
Where will it be played?
Las Vegas at the Allegiant Stadium tomorrow. Will Sin City be a fun venue for a game that is an excuse for a days-long party? Yep! Is it a fitting venue given that the NFL – and many of its broadcasting partners – recently sold their souls to big-time gambling? Definitely!
When will the game kick off?
Kickoff is at 3.30 pm in Las Vegas. But you may want to take Monday off if you’re watching in the UK: that’s 11.30 pm. It’s being shown on ITV and Sky Sports.
What’s this about the game being a deep-state plan to deprive Donald Trump of the presidency?
Well, as you may have heard if you live within 98bn miles of Earth, Taylor Swift is going out with one of the Chiefs’ star players, Travis Kelce.
This has given rise to a thousand think-pieces in the liberal media in the US on whether this will attract young women to football (millions liked it already!) and what the Chiefs’ defence says about the state of modern masculinity (a lot!). The US right though? Hoo boy.
Let’s hand over to Jack Lombardi, a rightwing influencer who unsuccessfully ran to be a Republican congressional candidate in 2022 and isn’t happy Swift has previously endorsed Democrats or that Kelce was once in an advert for a Covid jab.
