Super Bowl LVI will have the lowest-seeded Super Bowl matchup in history

Technically, Super Bowl LVI will feature the worst matchup in history.

Now that’s not to say that the game is going to be bad. Based on how Sunday’s conference championships — and the rest of the postseason — went, the game is bound to be plenty entertaining.

The game, however, will be the lowest-seeded Super Bowl matchup in history.

The Cincinnati Bengals, who entered the postseason as a No. 4 seed, knocked off the Kansas City Chiefs in a wild overtime battle in the AFC Championship game on Sunday to reach their third Super Bowl in franchise history.
