Heads: 8
Tails: 7

In the last 15 Super Bowls, there is as close to an even split as you can get, with heads appearing eight times and tails seven. The longest streak of either side happening repeatedly is four, with heads occurring each year from 2010-2014 and tails immediately doing the same from 2014 to 2017. 

In the Cheifs' four Super Bowl appearances during that span, they have been the winners of the coin toss three times, with their only loss coming in 2020 vs. the San Francisco 49ers. While the Eagles have lost the coin toss in both of the Super Bowls, they've appeared in since 2010. This year's Super Bowl is odd-numbered (59), and the AFC is indicated as the road team. Therefore, the Chiefs will be responsible for calling the coin toss.

A shocking statistic shows that typically, being the winner of the opening coin toss leads to you losing the game. Over the last 15 years, the team that loses the opening coin toss has won the game ten times, which is a win percentage of 66.7%. Only five teams during this span have won the coin toss and the game. Two of those five being the Chiefs who have won the coin toss in each of the last two Super Bowls.
