An air of déjà vu

And on the field ? Present for the fourth time at the Super Bowl in five years (victories in 2020 and 2023, defeat in 2021), the Chiefs have the opportunity to dedicate their quarterback Patrick Mahomes (28 years old) as a legend of the game. At his position, only Tom Brady, Terry Bradshaw and Troy Aikman have lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy at least three times.

"Tom (Brady) has won the Super Bowl seven times, and he holds all the records", wanted temper Mahomes. “All I can do is be the best Patrick Mahomes I can be every day, and I'm going to continue to do that. I don't want to end my career with regrets."

The Chiefs, winners last year against the Philadelphia Eagles, if they win, would be the first to keep their trophy since Tom Brady's New England Patriots in 2004.

This Sunday's poster is a remake of 2020, when Mahomes led the Chiefs' revolt in the last quarter for a 31-20 success. The 49ers are chasing a sixth trophy, the first since 1995. Little known, their young quarterback Brock Purdy (24 years old) has established himself as an obvious choice during only his second season in the NFL, after being chosen in last position in the 2022 draft. "I've never been the biggest, toughest, or fastest, but I've always found a way to win", he commented.

Hundreds of thousands of visitors expected

The meeting should break all records, particularly for viewers (115.1 million last year), who will be able to attend the famous half-time concert, given this year by the rapper Usher.

The Federal Aviation Administration estimates that approximately 500 private jets will land in Las Vegas for the game, while more than 300,000 visitors have arrived for the weekend in the gaming city.

Rollers and slot machines are running at full speed in hotel-casinos, where parties are organized around the broadcast of the match. The dealers in several establishments wear NFL clothing, an organization that has long snubbed Vegas for not being associated with sports betting.

The American Gaming Association anticipates that a record 67.8 million Americans, about a quarter of the country, will bet on the game , enough to generate the indecent sum of 23.1 billion dollars.
