We're officially only hours away from Super Bowl 59 between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.

Kansas City arrived in New Orleans looking to make history as the first team in the Super Bowl era to three-peat. The Chiefs, who beat the Eagles 38-35 in Super Bowl LVII two years ago, got to the big game by beating the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills in the AFC playoffs. The top seed in its conference, Kansas City lost only one game all season in which it played its starters.

The Eagles, meanwhile, have lost only once since starting the season 2-2. Philadelphia earned the No. 2 seed in the NFC, then handled the Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Rams and Washington Commanders in the postseason to earn its third Super Bowl appearance in the last eight seasons. A win today would give the Eagles their second-ever Lombardi Trophy.

All the story lines will play out on the field of the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans tonight. This morning, the NFL released it's first look at the freshly-painted field in the dome.

If you were wondering, this is the identical end zone design the NFL used two years ago in Glendale when these two teams met. That game was decided in the final seconds, so why mess with what worked?

On Saturday night, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed his team, and according to ESPN's Jeff Darlington, tried to downplay the potential of a historic three-peat.

"He told his team to look right, to look left, and to play for the person next to him," Darlington said on NFL Countdown. "He wants this team to be insulated, to ignore the noise, and quite honestly, to ignore the potential history of a three-peat."

Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones also spoke to their teammates and conveyed a similar message, Darlington said.

As for the Eagles, they could make some history of their own. Philadelphia's first Super Bowl win seven years ago came against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.

A win tonight would mean the franchise would now have beaten the two best dynasties in the modern NFL. That's a pretty big feather in the cap.

Super Bowl 59 will kick off at 6:30 p.m. ET tonight on FOX.

Kevin Burkhardt and Tom Brady will call the game.
