Super Bowl Numbers

By the numbers: You may have heard that the Chiefs are going for a third consecutive title? That and more below.



0 three-peats: Kansas City is already the first team to reach three straight Super Bowls; now they'll try to become the first to win three in a row.

9th rematch: Chiefs-Eagles is the ninth* Super Bowl rematch, including the fifth between head coaches (Andy Reid vs. Nick Sirianni) and the fourth between QBs (Patrick Mahomes vs. Jalen Hurts). Good news for KC: In every previous coach and QB rematch, the winner of the first game also won the second.

45 playoff games: Speaking of Reid, this will be his 45th career playoff game, breaking a tie with Bill Belichick for the most in NFL history.

17 playoff wins: Mahomes is a ridiculous 17-3 in the playoffs, already the second-most career postseason wins by a QB (Tom Brady, 35). But Brady didn't win his 17th game until age 35; Mahomes is just 29.

31 catches, 350 yards: Those are Travis Kelce's career numbers in the Super Bowl. With three more catches, he'll pass Jerry Rice for the most ever, and with 15 more yards he'll move into second place behind Rice (589).

30 rushing yards: That's all Saquon Barkley needs on Sunday to break Terrell Davis' record for the most in a season, including playoffs (2,476 in 1998).

3 rushing TDs: That's how many Jalen Hurts had two years ago, tying Terrell Davis for the most in a single Super Bowl. With two more on Sunday, he'll tie Emmitt Smith for the most career Super Bowl rushing scores.

Top-4 defenses: The Eagles (No. 2 scoring defense) and Chiefs (No. 4) both boasted top-four scoring defenses this season, led by superstar pass rushers Jalen Carter (PHI) and Chris Jones (KC).

64% win percentage: The Chiefs will wear white on Sunday, a color that has historically delivered success. 64% of Super Bowls (37 of 58) have been won by the team wearing white, including KC two years ago against Philly.
Care to make a wager? If so, you're hardly alone: A record $1.39 billion is expected to be legally wagered on the Super Bowl in the U.S., per the American Gaming Association.


Spread: KC -1.5
Moneyline: KC -120, PHI +100
Over/Under: 48.5

Update: Super Bowl Commercials

Prices are up!!

Fox began selling a 30-second commercial for Super Bowl LIX for $7 million, which would have been the same price for the third year in a row, according to USA Today. However, according to AdAge, the sale price for this year’s Big Game has ballooned to $8 million. That cost is about 88% higher than it was 10 years ago.

The price of the same ad spot in Super Bowl I cost just $37,500, around $370,000 when adjusted for inflation. A 30-second ad spot during Super Bowl XVIII—when Apple dropped the commercial “1984” that is considered one of the most iconic ads of all time—was $368,200, or about $1.2 million when adjusted for inflation.
