The Kansas City Chiefs beat the Philadelphia Eagles in the LVII Super Bowl in Glendale, Ariz. This is despite the fact that more experts believed the Eagles would be taking home the trophy. The Chiefs had also competed in 2020 and 2021, losing in the last event, which might have caused the perceived odds against them.

The Kansas City Chiefs have now played the Super Bowl five times - also in 1967 and 1970 - and won three times, in 2020, 2023 and 1970. For the Eagles, it was the fourth Super Bowl appearance and the first one since their only win to-date in 2018.

Five appearances give the Chiefs just as much Super Bowl clout as the Green Bay Packers or the New York Giants. Three wins put them on the same level as the Washington Commanders or the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders, with both teams needing just as many tries to take home three trophies.

There are still four teams - the Cleveland Browns, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Detroit Lions and the Houston Texans - which have never played the Super Bowl, and 12 which have never won the game. Jacksonville and Houston only joined the competition in 1995 and 2002, respectively.

The New England Patriots are the team with most Super Bowl appearances, according to statistics published by ESPN, followed by the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Dallas Cowboys and the Denver Broncos. Yet, the Patriots are among the teams with below average wins-to-participation ratios, with only six wins out of 11 Super Bowls played. The most unlucky teams among the Super Bowl participants are the Minnesota Vikings and the Buffalo Bills. They each played in the Super Bowl four times but failed to win any of those competitions.
