It’s that time of year again when every Australian becomes American for a morning and looks to the United States as the NFL prepares for the Super Bowl.
This year’s edition will be contested by the defending champions Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Plus, it’s a battle between age and experience as NFL veteran Tom Brady seeks his seventh Super Bowl ring, while the young prodigy Patrick Mahomes seeks to return back to back for the first time in his career.
Here’s everything you need to know ahead of Super Bowl 2021.
