Which teams were in the last 10 Super Bowls? Recapping past decade of Big Game participants

The Kansas City Chiefs and quarterback Patrick Mahomes will be traveling to Las Vegas in hopes of winning the Super Bowl for the second consecutive season on February 11. This year's Super Bowl matchup between the Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers is a rematch of Super Bowl LIV from four years ago.

The Chiefs were the consensus underdogs before their game against the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship game on Sunday. However, they managed to win 17-10 and punch their ticket to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in five years.
