Patrick Mahomes is on the verge of a fourth Super Bowl win. How close is GOAT status?

Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is on the verge of a fourth Super Bowl victory. Could he overtake Tom Brady for the best ever with another ring?

The Super Bowl matchup is officially set as the Kansas City Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles at 6:30 p.m. ET Feb. 9. This is a rematch from 2023, when Patrick Mahomes and Co. took home the Lombardi Trophy with a 38-35 win.

Leila Register / NBC News; Getty ImagesWhile this game pits familiar opponents against each other, it still has plenty of intrigue.

NBC News and NBC Sports got together to preview a few of the biggest topics as we head into Super Bowl week.

Greif: The Eagles’ offense doesn’t rest entirely on Saquon Barkley. Quarterback Jalen Hurts was criticized after averaging less than 130 yards passing in Philadelphia’s first two playoff victories while looking hesitant to take risks with his passes. But the way he found A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith for 246 passing yards against Washington added a new dynamism to Philly’s attack.

And in the AFC championship, Kansas City proved it can stop the quarterback sneak that has become so in vogue in recent seasons — the short-yardage play that Hurts and Philadelphia have made nearly unstoppable. We will surely see more “tush push” in the Super Bowl.
