It is only the sixth time that the two teams that participated in the Super Bowl the previous season are tied for the best record in the league heading into Week 8 or later.
The last time it happened was before Week 12 of the 2000 season, when the Tennessee Titans and the St. Louis Rams both were 8-2. On that occasion no one ended up playing the Super Bowlcon Tennessee losing in the Ronda Divisional y St. Louis falling into the Wild Card Round.
Also, it happened in 1993 when the Buffalo Bills y Dallas Cowboys They finished the campaign tied for the best record at 12-4 a year after playing the Super Bowl. They faced each other again for the title of the NFL that season, with the Cowboys repeating as champions on the only occasion in which the same teams played the Super Bowl in consecutive seasons.

Kansas City already won divisional games against Denver Broncos y The Angels to improve the record of Patrick Mahomes against rivals from the West at 29-3. The record of Mahomes .906 winning percentage against division rivals is the best for a quarterback since the leagues merged with at least 20 starts, well above the .800 mark of Dak Prescottof dallasagainst rivals from the East of the NFC.
