Super Bowl LVII if officially set.
With three seconds to go, Kansas City Chiefs' kicker Harrison Butker sent a 45-yard kick through gusting wind over the crossbar, putting the Chiefs back in the Super Bowl for the third time in four years with a 23-20 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
It was vindication for the AFC West champions, who had lost three straight to their newfound nemeses, including a three-point overtime loss to Cincinnati in last year’s conference title game. All of those defeats were by three points.
But now, the Chiefs are headed back to the big game, where they'll meet the Philadelphia Eagles, who clobbered the San Francisco 49ers 31-7 in the NFC championship game earlier Sunday.
There are no shortage of storylines: Kansas City coach Andy Reid goes against his old team — which he led to Super Bowl 39 — in a game that’s also the first matchup of Black starting quarterbacks in the Super Bowl with Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes and Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts.
On top of that, there’s a brother-against-brother showdown between Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Philadelphia center Jason Kelce.
“Officially done being a Chiefs fan this season!! ” Jason Kelce tweeted immediately after the Chiefs won.
As big day approaches, here's what to know.
