Every twist, every turn, simply means immeasurably more than in any other game across the sport.<\/p>\n<p>The Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles will hope to start the game well rather than rely on a big comeback to materialise.<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs went into the halftime break at Super Bowl LV in 2021 with a 15-point deficit to overturn.<\/p>\n<p>They failed to strike back against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but had they been successful, they would have recorded the second-biggest comeback in Super Bowl history.<\/p>\n<p>Remarkably few teams have came back from sizeable margins in the past, with only one team clawing back from more than 10 points in Super Bowl history.<\/p>\n<p>That team? They struck back from a stunning 25 points.

Stunning.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond LI, the largest comebacks have been relatively tame affairs.<\/p>\n<p>Super Bowl LIV in 2019 saw the Chiefs come back from 10 points down to beat the San Francisco 49ers.<\/p>\n<p>In Super Bowl XLIX, the New England Patriots came back from 10 points against the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n<p>New Orleans Saints came back from 10 points down to defeat the Indianapolis Colts.<\/p>\n<p>The fifth and final double-digit comeback came as the Washington Redskins struck back from a 10-0 first-quarter deficit against Denver Broncos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re looking for something else to watch, check out our\u00a0<a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">TV Guide<\/a> or\u00a0<a title=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/&quot;\" href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/streaming-guide\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><b>Streaming Guide<\/b><\/a>, or visit our <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/sport\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Sport<\/a> hub for all the latest news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Try Radio Times magazine today and get 12 issues for only \u00a31 with delivery to your home \u2013 <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/magazine-subscription\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener noopener noreferrer\" noreferrer=\"\" data-auth=\"&quot;NotApplicable&quot;\" data-safelink=\"&quot;true&quot;\" data-linkindex=\"&quot;0&quot;\">subscribe now<\/a>.
