There are just two more sleeps until Saquon Barky and Dee-Bone Samuel of Team Ruff take on Doodle and Gumbo of Team Fluff (PHOTOS!) in the Puppy Bowl.

Oh, and there's also that other massive showdown on Sunday between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl 59 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

As we get closer to game day, here are some fun facts and tidbits for "The Big Game":

9️⃣ This is the ninth Super Bowl rematch, sixth in which two teams met within a 10-year span and the second time that two teams met in the Super Bowl twice in a three-year span, joining Dallas vs. Buffalo (1992 and 1993 seasons).

🖐️ In becoming the fourth NFL team to appear in three consecutive Super Bowls, the Chiefs are the first team to reach the Super Bowl five times in a six-season span.

🏅 The 29-year-old Patrick Mahomes will become the youngest quarterback to start five Super Bowls and can become the first under the age of 30 to win four Super Bowls. Could Mahomes eventually eclipse the G.O.A.T.? What appeared nearly impossible just a few years ago now seems plausible. A fourth Super Bowl win would put Mahomes well ahead of Tom Brady's Super Bowl wins pace. Brady didn't win his fourth Super Bowl until he was 37 years old.

📋 Andy Reid will coach in his 45th career playoff game in Super Bowl 59, surpassing Bill Belichick (44) for most playoff games as an NFL head coach. Reid (with 28) is three playoff wins away from matching Belichick's total (31). With a win on Sunday, Reid can join Belichick (six) and Chuck Noll (four) as the only head coaches with four Super Bowl victories.

Super Bowl 59 predictions: Who will win?

The moment of truth is almost upon us.

And Paste BN Sports' panel of NFL experts have prepared predictions for Super Bowl 59's winner, final score, MVP and more. Are the Chiefs their favorite to three-peat?

Nobody asked, but here's the Super Bowl prediction from the writer of this newsletter: Eagles 37, Chiefs 31 — Kansas City has won an NFL-record 17 consecutive one-score games. That run comes to an end at the worst possible time as Philadelphia thwarts Kansas City's quest to be the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls. Saquon Barkley, the Eagles' 2,000-yard rusher, will be the X-factor in this one and the key difference-maker for the Eagles against an opponent they lost to by just three points in the Super Bowl two years ago.

Super Bowl 59 news, notes and analysis

➤ Chiefs. Patriots. Yankees. Why do we always come to hate sports dynasties? Six years ago, when the Chiefs faced the Patriots in the AFC title game, it seemed Kansas City had America on its side. Now, many of those same neutral fans have instead come to loathe the Chiefs. Tom Schad dives into this all-too-common transformation.

➤ Tom Brady reveals how he's handling Patrick Mahomes chasing his historic Super Bowl legacy: Brady knows the comparisons are inevitable as Mahomes pushes for a Super Bowl three-peat, but he's not bothered by the legacy questions.

➤ At the center of the storm: Replacing a future Hall of Famer is a tough ask, but Cam Jurgens has done an admirable job as Jason Kelce's replacement in the heart of the Eagles' offensive line.

➤ One Chiefs mastermind could be cooking up something special for Super Bowl: Steve Spagnuolo has only burnished his reputation as one of the NFL’s premier defensive strategists.

➤ Is New Orleans tempting fate after power outage at city's last Super Bowl? The Super Bowl will be held in New Orleans for the first time since 2013, when a power outage delayed the game and gave birth to a conspiracy theory.

NFL classics: Straight from the YouTube algorithm 🏈🎞️

This is where we reprise some NFL lore and recall classic, memorable games from yesteryear.

With a win in Super Bowl 59 on Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes can join some elite company.

It would be a fourth Super Bowl win for Mahomes, and he would become just the fourth quarterback to win four Super Bowls. Let's revisit the previous three …

Tom Brady — Brady has seven Super Bowl wins, the most of any quarterback. You already know that. His fourth Super Bowl title came in Super Bowl 49, when his New England Patriots defeated the Seattle Seahawks, 28-24. Brady put up some big numbers in the win: 328 yards and four touchdowns passing. However, the play everybody remembers from that game is Malcolm Butler's goal-line interception that sealed the Patriots' victory. Why didn't the Seahawks just give the ball to Marshawn Lynch? It will be one of the game's biggest mysteries for as long as football is played.

Joe Montana — Super Bowl 24 was peak Montana, who threw for 297 yards and five touchdowns in the San Francisco 49ers' 55-10 demolition of the Denver Broncos. The much-hyped showdown between Montana and Broncos QB John Elway is the biggest rout in Super Bowl history. Montana's "Black 59 Razor" is forever etched into Super Bowl lore.

Terry Bradshaw — Super Bowl 14 capped a spectacular run for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who won four Super Bowls in a six-year span. The feisty Los Angeles Rams made the Steelers work for it, as Pittsburgh trailed going into the fourth quarter. But a 73-yard touchdown pass from Bradshaw to John Stallworth gave the Steelers a lead they would not relinquish in a 31-19 win. Bradshaw threw for 309 yards and two touchdowns, but also had three interceptions.
