For the first time since her husband Lamar Hunt coined the term โSuper Bowl,โ and their team promptly lost to the Green Bay Packers, the matriarch of the Kansas City Chiefs will not be at the big game Sunday.

New normal: Brady gets 7th trophy in a season to remember
History was made, just as it always is, on a picture-perfect Sunday evening at the Super Bowl. Brady adding to his record with a seventh Super Bowl title, but with the long-suffering Bucs, not the front-running New England Patriots? That the Chiefs waded through all that to make it back to the Super Bowl was not all that big a surprise. Brady earned his fifth Super Bowl MVP award. It was, as much as anything, a nod to the new normal โ life with coronavirus โ meshing with the old normal โ Tom Brady holding a Super Bowl trophy.

Officials plead: Donโt let Super Bowl become superspreader
The city is hosting Sunday's Super Bowl football game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Kansas City Chiefs. The nation's top health officials sounded the alarm this week about the Super Bowl being a potential superspreader event, and they urged people to gather with friends over Zoom, not in crowds. โIโm worried about Super Bowl Sunday, quite honestly. Last year, an estimated 20,000 people showed up at the Power & Light District in downtown Kansas City to watch the Super Bowl on a massive screen. Health officials don't want to see that scenario repeated.

Bukaty)PORTLAND, Maine โ The Super Bowl is going to look different this year for three friends who've attended every installment of the big game. The trio, who range in age from 79 to 84, are among an ever-shrinking group of fans who have witnessed every Super Bowl in person. A few other members of their exclusive club of fans who never missed a Super Bowl have died in recent years. Mostly, though, Crisman wants to keep his Super Bowl streak going and come back to Maine without contracting the virus.

Super distancing: CBS keeps season protocols for big game
(AP Photo/Morry Gash, File)Jim Nantz and Tony Romo were inseparable when CBS broadcast the Super Bowl two years ago. Keeping announcers separated until game day has been CBS' protocol this season. โSuper Bowl Todayโ pregame host James Brown and CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus wonโt get there until Thursday, while sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson arrives Friday. CBS isn't the only network that has modified its Super Bowl week plans. ESPN and NFL Network usually begin coverage from where the big game is held the Sunday before and when the teams usually arrive.

Defending champion Kansas City Chiefs advance to face Tampa Bay in Super Bowl, beating Buffalo 38-24 in AFC championship
โ Defending champion Kansas City Chiefs advance to face Tampa Bay in Super Bowl, beating Buffalo 38-24 in AFC championship. The win by Kansas City sets up the first-ever Super Bowl matchup between the two winning quarterbacks of the last two Super Bowls. Last season, Patrick Mahomes led the Chiefs to a Super Bowl championship with a win over the San Francisco 49ers. Two years ago, Tom Brady led the New England Patriots to a Super Bowl win over the Los Angeles Rams. Kansas City hosted the AFC championship game for the third straight year, winning in back-to-back seasons thanks to a dominant offense.

Super Host: Bucs become 1st to play Super Bowl at home
The Buccaneers defeated the Packers 31-26 to advance to the Super Bowl. Tampa Bay (14-5) is the first team to play a Super Bowl in its home stadium. The prize is much different this year, though, because the Super Bowl will be played in front of a far smaller crowd than usual. The first Super Bowl in 1967 was played in front of 61,946 fans at the Los Angeles Coliseum. Eagles backup Nick Foles threw for 352 yards and three touchdowns, a sign of things to come in the Super Bowl against New England.

Itโs a sad day.โVikings owner Mark Wilf said in a statement: โMatt Blair was a great presence at Vikings events and a tremendous teammate long after playing. He started 130 of the 160 regular-season games he played, racking up 1,452 tackles, the second most in team history.
