One of the problems we have to deal with in writing a Super Bowl preview is repetitiveness. When we're down to only two teams to write about, it means we've written a lot about them already.

We covered Kansas City and Tampa Bay plenty during the regular season. We've now written about Kansas City in two playoff previews and Tampa Bay in three. They're the only two teams we've covered for the last two weeks.

So I apologize that my introduction to this Super Bowl LV preview is going to go over some familiar territory. Nonetheless, it's the elephant in the room that has to be addressed if we're talking about the top-line stats of this matchup.

There are some similarities between the Chiefs and the Packers or Colts, but those teams didn't win the Super Bowl. If the "flip the switch" theory were Similarities Between The Outsiders And Greasers, we would see evidence of the Chiefs playing a lower level with a late lead, and we would see them get significantly better once we got to the postseason. And, in fact, both of those things have happened.

Their offense dropped to In the playoffs, the Chiefs have played their best ball. And so, at Football Outsiders we're stuck doing a stat-based preview of the Super Bowl while wondering if our stats for the regular season are properly capturing how good the Chiefs really are.
