Super Bowl losers have historically had a tumultuous season after their loss. Since 1987, only the Bills (1991-1993) and NE (won in 2018) have made it back to the Super Bowl after losing the year prior. After losing Super Bowl LV to the Buccaneers, the Chiefs went on to lose at home in the AFC Championship game to the Cincinnati Bengals in 2021.

The viewership total was slightly higher than last year’s Chiefs victory over the San Francisco 49ers. According to Nielsen, last year’s 123.7 million viewers were collected across CBS, Paramount+, Nickelodeon, Univision, CBS Sports, and the same NFL digital properties.

The Philadelphia Eagles were dominant in every phase of a 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX.
