On Sunday, February 8th, at 5:30 PM, the Seattle Seahawks will take on the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, in a rematch of the 2015 Super Bowl XLIX, the famous Malcolm Butler interception game.

The Chiefs will not be playing in the Super Bowl.

The Chiefs have played in the Super Bowl 5 times in the past 7 seasons. Three times, they won it all. It has become their standard of success for a season. This year was far from successful.

Nevertheless, there is one more game in this season, and despite the glaring lack of Red and Gold, the final game of the season deserves special attention. In light of this, I am going to do a preview of the game for the teams that earned the right to play in it, regardless of how easy a path it was to get there for the Patriots.
