Super Bowl LIV is this Sunday as the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers. Whether you're a casual fan watching for the commercials or you're a hardcore fan who knows their X's and O's, now is a good time to brush up on trivia on the big game.
One of the most-watched television events in America, it wasn't always known as the Super Bowl. Prior to the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, it was originally known as the AFL-NFL World Championship Game. It was later renamed the Super Bowl after 1968 when former Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt coined the phrase "Super Bowl," taking inspiration from his young daughter's Super Ball toy and the college football bowl games.
The Chiefs are vying for their third Super Bowl win, having last won in 1969, when they defeated the Minnesota Vikings in Super Bowl IV 23-7. Conversely, the 49ers are looking for the sixth Super Bowl victory, last defeating the San Diego Chargers 49-26 in 1995.
