Super Bowl LIX key questions: What must the QBs do? Who will be the X-factor?

NEW ORLEANS — A historic three-peat or sweet revenge? That’s what’s at stake Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX at the Superdome.
Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are eyeing an unprecedented third consecutive Lombardi Trophy and fourth in five seasons, while Jalen Hurts and the Eagles are looking for the franchise’s second Super Bowl victory after coming up achingly short against Kansas City just two years ago.
Mahomes led his team downfield for a 27-yard Harrison Butker field goal with eight seconds left for the 38-35 victory in Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Ariz.
The Chiefs’ roster and coaching staff are very similar to two years ago, though they have upgraded at wide receiver with rookie Xavier Worthy and veterans DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown. The Eagles lost All-Pro center Jason Kelce but added running back Saquon Barkley, the NFL’s second-leading rusher this season. They have also fortified their defense with players including defensive tackle Jalen Carter, linebacker Zack Baun and veteran coordinator Vic Fangio.
