This is false.
Mahomes lost to Matt Ryan in this stadium, after that Chris Jones dumb penalty late in the 4th quarter.

Was the roof open for that game?

[Chieftain]

Ok. It looks like the roof was open for that game.

The stadium tells you who hosts the game

Superbowl 54 Miami (AFC) Chiefs home
Superbowl 55 Tampa (NFC) Chiefs away Caveat Tampa wears white at home
Superbowl 57 Arizona (NFC) Chiefs Away
Superbowl 58 Vegas (AFC) Chiefs home
Superbowl 59 New Orleans (NFC) Chiefs away

Guys… Sunday passed and I didn’t see any football on. What happened? Didn’t the season just start like a week ago?

It's only worked out that way in the last several years. That's not how it's decided.

If you had gone back just a little farther, Super Bowls LII and LIII were held in Minneapolis and Atlanta. Both NFC stadia.

You also skipped LVI which was in SoFi. Did the Rams host or the Chargers? Also, I think the NFL considers the stadium and city that hosts, not necessarily the team. They call these neutral sites, even though we know they aren't really that.

Stadium selection has gone as follows:

NFL, AFL, AFL, NFL, AFC, NFC, NFC, AFC, NFC, AFC, Neutral, NFC, AFC, Neutral, NFC, NFC, Neutral, NFC, Neutral, NFC, Neutral, AFC, AFC, NFC, NFC, NFC, Neutral, NFC, AFC, NFC, NFC, AFC, AFC, NFC, NFC, NFC, AFC, AFC, AFC, NFC, AFC, NFC, NFC, AFC, NFC, AFC, NFC, NYC, NFC, NFC, AFC, NFC, NFC, AFC, NFC, LA, NFC, AFC, NFC

The stadium doesn't matter, they have alternated since Super Bowl I with Green Bay the "home team" and wearing their home unis.

There are a handful of exceptions of "home teams" not wearing their home uniforms:

Dallas in XIII
Washington in XVII
Dallas in XXVII
Pittsburgh in XL
Denver in 50
New England in LII
Tampa Bay in LV

Dallas and Washington were known for wearing their white jerseys at home (Dallas still is). Not sure the story with Pittsburgh and Denver, but the story goes that the Patriots (or maybe even just Tom Brady) had gotten superstitious about wearing their whites. They had lost XLII and XLVI in their homes. They were the "away team" in their whites in XLIX and LI (both wins) so chose in LII to wear white (which of course they lost). Brady also famously made Tampa Bay wear their whites in their home stadium in LV. Every other Super Bowl follows the NFC home in odd years, AFC home in even years home uniform pattern.

Struggling to find the updated numbers, but Mahomes also has an insanely good track record vs. #1 ranked defenses.

Including the 2022-23 Eagles of Super Bowl LVII.

Too late, I already reported you to Clay for high treason against the Chiefs.

So he's going in dry is what you're saying?

I want to silence these cocky bastards with a beatdown. And Reid won't admit it, but I'm sure he'd love to stick it to the Eagles again.

To recap. All I’ve said is that the 24 Eagle defence is better than the 22 eagles defense. I didn’t denigrate the Chiefs in any way. In response to that, you have been a rude, obnoxious toddler.

One giant lol at you.

Are you from London?



It's defense. Not defence. It has nothing to do with your yard.

[Bl00dyBizkitz]

I refuse to believe that Andy Reid will lose to Nick Sirriani in the Super Bowl. Thats all I need to know about this matchup.

[smithandrew051]

It’s already Super Bowl week.

Feels like just last year the Chiefs were winning the Super Bowl.

Of course, I could have said the same thing last year at this time.

That’s how I feel. That team has a lot of likable players on it, but I am no fan of the coach just for the reasons you mentioned above.

[ThaVirus]

I’ve always really liked AJ Brown as a player but he seems like a selfish douche.

Also, there was a video from the sidelines once with Brown and Devonta Smith and neither of them knew what “fuego” meant in English. I understand that you shouldn’t judge ignorance but that really rubbed me the wrong way lol
