Super Bowl 59: What is Chiefs vs Eagles record in NFL regular season, playoffs?
The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will meet at Super Bowl 59, with two of the best NFL teams in recent seasons colliding in New Orleans with the Vince Lombardi Trophy on the line.
Both the Chiefs and Eagles are experiencing some of the best season-over-season consistency in each franchise's history. Kansas City is aiming to be the first team to win three straight Super Bowls, while Philadelphia has been to two Super Bowls in recent years (winning it all at Super Bowl 52). Over the last decade, no one has won more games than the Chiefs, while the Eagles have made the playoffs seven times over the last eight years.
The star power is in place: Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes seems like a magician at times, particularly when games are on the line, while Eagles running back Saquon Barkley has had one of the best seasons by any player at the position. There's also an intriguing subplot for Sunday: Kansas City beat this very same Philadelphia team at Super Bowl 57, sparking what is now a run at a "three-peat" with a fourth-quarter comeback win.
Ahead of Super Bowl 59, here's what to know about the history between the Chiefs and the Eagles:
Have Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles played recently?
Super Bowl 59 will be played between two increasingly familiar franchises. Despite being in the AFC and NFC, respectively, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles have played against each other eight times since 2000, including four meetings in the last decade.
The biggest of these clashes is obvious: in 2023, this exact Super Bowl match-up played out, with the Chiefs claiming a dramatic 38-35 win at Super Bowl 57. It won't be a game Eagles fans will look back on fondly, as Philadelphia squandered a 10-point halftime lead. Kansas City trailed by six points entering the fourth quarter, but Patrick Mahomes threw touchdown passes to Kadarius Toney and Skyy Moore to spark the comeback.
Philadelphia tied things up late thanks to a Jalen Hurts rushing score, but Kansas City produced one last drive to set up a game-winning Harrison Butker field goal with eight seconds to go.
Super Bowl 59: Chiefs vs. Eagles historical record
Despite long histories — the Eagles aren't far from celebrating their 100th season, and the Chiefs have existed for 62 years — meetings between Philadelphia and Kansas City have been somewhat rare. The Super Bowl 59 opponents have played against each other just 11 times, with the Chiefs holding a 6-5 series edge. That includes the lone playoff game between the two, which saw Kansas City claim victory at Super Bowl 57.
The NFL-AFL merger in 1966 put both teams within the same league, but with one in the NFC and one in the AFC, games involving both were few and far between until the late 1990s. In 1972, Philadelphia claimed a 21-20 win in the first-ever game between the two, but the next Chiefs-Eagles game wouldn't arrive for 20 years.
However, NFL expansion and changes to how the league plans its schedule have seen a rapid increase in clashes between Philadelphia and Kansas City. Sunday's Super Bowl will be the fifth meeting in the last eight seasons.
Here is a list of the final score of every single Chiefs-Eagles game:
- Oct. 22, 1972: Philadelphia 21, Kansas City 20
- Oct. 11, 1992: Kansas City 24, Philadelphia 17
- Sept. 27, 1998: Kansas City 24, Philadelphia 21
