t one point during the second quarter of Super Bowl LIX between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles, a game that ended with the Eagles hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the second time since 2017, 138 million people were watching.

Such viewership is a testament to the popularity of the National Football League and its championship game, which has become a cultural phenomenon that attracts diehard fans, casual enthusiasts and even those who don’t know a first down from a facemask penalty. The chance to win the biggest game of the year in professional football has inspired many teams and athletes to produce recordbreaking performances. As fans gather for this year’s big game, they can consider these records and see if any are broken this February.
