The Kansas City Chiefs will take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9 in New Orleans. Just because a Texas team won’t be in the Superdome, doesn’t mean we’re missing out on Lone Star State representation — looking at you Patrick Mahomes and Jalen Hurts.
Tune in at 5:30 p.m. to cheer on these 14 Texans taking to the gridiron. Plus, don’t miss the halftime show by SZA and Kendrick Lamar — who may not be a local, but did film a music video in Cowtown.
