Super Bowl 55:  

The Buccaneers' victory was their second   and made them one of two teams, along   with the Baltimore Ravens, to be undefeated   in multiple Super Bowls. They finished the   regular season with an 11–5 record and   a   wild card berth to advance to their second   Super Bowl appearance through the   guidance of several new acquisitions, most   notably 21-year veteran quarterback Tom

Brady in his first season away from the Patriots. The Chiefs, aided by their top-ranked offense, finished the regular season with a league-best 14–2 record to advance to their fourth Super Bowl appearance and were the defending Super 2004.  For the first time under quarterback Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs failed to score a touchdown and lost by double-digits, making them the third Super Bowl team to not score a touchdown. They also committed 11 penalties for 120 yards, including a record eight penalties for 95 yards in the first half, most of which were called against the defense.

World Series:              

The 2021 World Series was the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros.  The Braves won the series four      games to two. It was their fourth World Series title in franchise history, their first since 1995, and their second since the franchise's relocation to Atlanta in 1966.The Astros had had home-field advantage due to their superior regular-season record over that of the Braves. The series was played in a 2–3–2 format, with the Astros hosting Games 1, 2, and 6 (and 7 if it was necessary); and the Braves hosting Games 3, 4, and 5. The teams split the first two games, which were played in Houston, and the Braves won Games 3 and 4 in Atlanta to take a 3-1 lead. The Astros won Game 5, returning the series to Houston. The Braves won Game 6 to win the World Series. Jorge Soler was awarded the MVP after batting .300 in the series with home runs in three of the Braves victories, each time giving them a lead they would never surrender.
