Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are set to return to the Superbowl for the third year in a row, facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles for the Lombardi Trophy. In a repeat of Superbowl LVII, the Chiefs hope to replicate their 2023 victory when they beat the Eagles 38-35 in a thrilling last-minute win.

After defeating the 49ers in last year's Super Bowl, the Chiefs aim for a three-peat this year. They have been unstoppable this season, reaching the Finals with only two losses.

The Chiefs secured their spot in this year' Super Bowl after a close match against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship game. Mahomes and co. defeated Josh Allen's side by a score of 32-29. This will mark their third straight appearance in the Super Bowl.

Sophie Cunningham was part of a four-team trade involving the Connecticut Suns, the Dallas Wings, the Indiana Fever and the Phoenix Mercury in late January. The guard, who had been a Mercury player since her WNBA debut, was traded to the Fever and will serve as a backup to Caitlin Clark.

Despite not suiting up together yet, Cunningham and Clark share one similarity: their affiliation with the Kansas City Chiefs. While Sophie Cunningham has been actively flaunting her support for the team on social media, Caitlin Clark was photographed attending a Chiefs game in January.

The Michigan native reportedly grew up as a Kansas City fan and attended their playoff game against the Houston Texans on Jan. 18. Clark was seen sitting alongside pop star Taylor Swift, who is in a relationship with Chiefs star Travis Kelcee.
