1. DYNASTY SEEKERSWhen Kansas City beat Philadelphia in last year’s Super Bowl, the confetti hadn’t even stopped falling when Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid were talking about running it back again this year. And here they are, in their fourth Super Bowl in five years, and with a chance to win their third and become the NFL’s first dynasty since the early-aughts Patriots.
