Super Bowl has rare matchup of top 2 regular-season teams

Associated Press  

This year’s Super Bowl features a rare matchup of the NFL’s top two teams from the regular season. The previous time came after the 2017 season when the Eagles won their first Super Bowl championship by beating New England 41-33. This is also the third time both Super Bowl teams won at least 14 games in the regular season, although both Kansas City and Philadelphia needed wins in the added 17th game to get there. The only player to reach the Super Bowl after throwing for more yards in the regular season than Mahomes was Manning, with a record 5,477 in 2013.
