Super Bowl LIX is about to kick off, and the Kansas City Chiefs won the coin toss (called tails). This means they will start the game on defense while the Philadelphia Eagles will start on offense.

When the Chiefs and Eagles faced each other in Super Bowl LVII, the Chiefs won the coin toss and the game. In last year’s Super Bowl, Kansas City won the coin toss and took down the San Fransico 49ers.

Per Yahoo Sports, the coin toss landed tails 30 times and heads 28 times in 58 Super Bowls. There have been three stretches in which the Super Bowl coin toss landed tails four straight times, and the longest streak for one result went from Super Bowl XLIII to Super Bowl XLVII when it landed on heads five times.

As mentioned earlier, Super Bowl LIX is a rematch of the Super Bowl played two years ago. Philadelphia is looking to get revenge on Kansas City and win its second Super Bowl in franchise history. Kansas City is looking to be the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls.

Earlier in the week, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes talked about how the Chiefs’ offense will attack the Eagles’ defense led by defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.

“Every time I’ve played Coach Fangio, there’s been different change-ups and different things that he’s thrown at us,” Mahomes said Wednesday, per NFL.com. “I think that’s what makes him so great is he’s not gonna just do exactly what you saw the last time. I’m sure there will be blitzes during the game, I’m sure there will be times where they play coverage. It’s gonna be a chess match. But you want to go up against the best and he’s one of the best defensive coordinators in the NFL. It’ll be a great challenge for us as an offense and as a football team.”

“They have good players, they’re well coached,” Fangio said of the Chiefs, via Pro Football Talk. “We’ve got to have a good tackling game. These guys run well after the catch, obviously, Mahomes is elusive, [Isiah] Pacheco runs extremely hard. Tackling is going to be paramount.”
