Two years after they met in Super Bowl LVII, the Eagles and Chiefs are meeting again to decide which teams hoists the Lombardi Trophy.

The Chiefs erased a 10-point deficit in the first matchup to win, 38-35, in Glendale, Ariz.

But both teams traveled to New Orleans for Super Bowl LIX with a different 53-man roster, albeit also with some familiar faces.
