When the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles faced off in last year's Super Bowl, each team's stories were well known. Not only was it their second Super Bowl meeting in three years, but it was the Chiefs' fifth appearance in six years.
This year, the New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks are bringing some fresh faces to the screen for viewers at home. Patriots QB Drake Maye is making his first Super Bowl start at just 23, while Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is doing the same after toiling as a backup and fighting to get one last chance as an NFL starter.
Both the Patriots and Seahawks have powerful, hungry defenses that helped get them to the NFL's biggest stage. Seattle's unit is one of the best NFL when at its peak, but New England's has arguably been the most dominant through three rounds of the playoffs.
Every story worth telling about these two teams will be told on Super Bowl Sunday, starting with the pregame shows that set the stage for the final game of the NFL season.
Here's what you need to know about the Super Bowl 60 pregame coverage leading up to kickoff.
