We’re talking about Super Bowl LV, which will be thrashed out live on the BBC and Sky Sports by the Kansas City Chiefs and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The venue? The Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida.
This year’s showdown, which is set to have around 22,000 fans in attendance amid coronavirus restrictions, is all about the battle of the quarterbacks.

Just 25 years old, Mahomes is undoubtedly destined for greatness in the ultracompetitive world of American football. The question is, can he surpass Brady’s astonishing achievements?
