The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs became the champions of the National Conference (NFC) and the American Conference (AFC), respectively, for which they will play Super Bowl LVII of the NFL on February 12 in Glendale, Arizona. .
The Eagles made it to the game that defines the NFL champion after a solid performance against the San Francisco 49ers, beating them 31-7 and managing to return to the biggest game of the season five years later.
On that occasion, Philadelphia emerged victorious 41-33 against Tom Brady’s New England Patriots, who fumbled with two minutes left to crown his rival for the first time in Super Bowl history.
On the other hand, the Chiefs were left with the other place in the Super Bowl this Sunday by achieving an exciting 23-20 victory against the Cincinnati Bengals, leaving an unprecedented Super Bowl for the enjoyment of all American football fans.
The hero of the day was Harrison Butker, the Kansas City kicker who managed to score a 45-yard field goal with three seconds left on the counter.
This came after defensive back Joseph Ossai committed a penalty on quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the game’s other big star, by pushing him off the field after a run down the sideline. The 15 yards for unnecessary roughness allowed the Chiefs to get into range of their kicker.
The Chiefs quarterback finished the game by throwing for 326 yards with two touchdowns despite playing badly handicapped by an ankle injury suffered a week earlier.
The winner on February 12 will take the champion baton from the Los Angeles Rams, who on February 13, 2022 beat the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 at the hands of Matthew Stafford and receiver Cooper Kupp, the latter the MVP of the match.
