One of the most-watched annual sporting events in the world, with viewership overwhelmingly domestic, takes place tonight

Super Bowl LVII kicks off on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. ET, with the Kansas City Chiefs facing the Philadelphia Eagles.

These franchises are used to the big stage, as the Chiefs won Super Bowl LIV after the 2019 season and are making their third appearance in the big game in four years.

The Eagles are also recent champions, winning Super Bowl LII following the 2017 season. These two teams have been atop the heap all year, as they were the top seeds in their respective conferences.

Super Bowl LVII represents the first meeting of top seeds in the Super Bowl since the Eagles’ aforementioned Super Bowl LII win over the New England Patriots.

The NFL announced that Sheryl Lee Ralph will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” known as the Black National Anthem, at Sunday’s Super Bowl. Alicia Keys sang the “anthem” at last year’s Super Bowl.

The Eagles were in shambles a little over two years ago. At 4-11-1, they were being excoriated for playing third-string quarterback Nate Sudfeld in a game with playoff implications.

Coach Doug Pederson, three years removed from a Super Bowl title, was about to be fired.

Franchise quarterback Carson Wentz had been unsettled by the decision to draft Jalen Hurts and melted down behind a battered offensive line. Wentz, too, would be gone within months.

Now, the Eagles are back. Howie Roseman, the general manager many fans wanted out the door alongside Pederson and Wentz, rebuilt the roster in record time.

Team owner Jeffrey Lurie nailed the head-coach hiring of Nick Sirianni. Hurts, who was in the middle of a 7-for-20 day before being benched for Sudfeld in that Week 18 game, has grown into a superstar.

Of course, there’s life after getting fired by the Eagles. After the 2012 season, Andy Reid was run out of town by Philadelphia fan base.

Reid immediately went to Kansas City and revitalized the Chiefs. Plus, when he linked up with quarterback Patrick Mahomes, he suddenly figured out how to win in the playoffs!

Reid’s Chiefs have won one Super Bowl and are back in their third title game in four years.
