NEW ORLEANS >> The Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs have landed in New Orleans for Super Bowl week.

They exited their planes to sunshine and temperatures in the 60s on Sunday afternoon, a week before their matchup on Feb. 9.

Players and staff made their way down moveable staircases from their planes to buses awaiting them on the tarmac without much fanfare. Then they quickly rolled off in convoys bound for for their downtown hotels. Most Eagles players and staff wore black sweatsuits with a “Super Bowl LIX” logo across the chest. Chiefs coach Andy Reid wore a blue suit with a red tie.

One of the pilots on the Eagles’ plane hung a green-and-white flag out of the window reading, “Geaux Birds,” a play on the pronunciation of French words — as well as many last names in Louisiana — that end with the letters “eaux.”

Super Bowl week comes a month after a terrorist attack on Bourbon Street in the city’s famed French Quarter in the early-morning hours of Jan. 1, during which a man drove a truck over the sidewalk and into pedestrians, killing 14 people before he was killed in a shootout with police.

Security was tight at the airport for the Super Bowl arrivals. Media members were kept behind barricades about 50 yards away from where the teams made their way from their planes to buses, and there were no interviews.

The Eagles (17-3) advanced to the Super Bowl by beating the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC championship game.

The Chiefs (17-2), who are seeking to become the first team to win three straight Super Bowls, took the AFC crown with a 32-29 victory over the Buffalo Bills.

The arrivals kicked off a week of activities leading up to the first Super Bowl in New Orleans since 2013.

NFC tops the AFC in Pro Bowl Games

Orlando, Fla.>> With Olympic flag football three years away, this much is becoming clear: the U.S. team should want a former LSU receiver on its roster.

The four ex-Tigers competing in the Pro Bowl Games scored a combined eight touchdowns in a flag football contest that capped the NFC’s third consecutive victory over the AFC, 76-63 on Sunday.

Rookie Malik Nabers of the New York Giants found the end zone twice for the NFC, and Minnesota’s Justin Jefferson also scored. Jefferson caught six passes for 46 yards. Nabers finished with five receptions for 62 yards.

“We’re on top for sure,” Jefferson said. “It is definitely great to see the guys having fun out here, scoring touchdowns, just making big plays.

“That’s what we normally do, so it’s good to see us coming out here and doing the same thing.”

The NFC essentially sealed the win by returning two interceptions for touchdowns in the second half, giving coach Eli Manning a third consecutive win over big brother and AFC coach Peyton.
