And so they meet again.
Four years ago, the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers met in the Super Bowl. It was the then-defining moment of Patrick Mahomes’ already legendary career as the 49ers learned they simply weren’t good enough to win it all (at least at quarterback).
Four years later, both teams took very different paths to this unconventional rematch (for example, Mahomes and Kelce are two of the only remaining starters from that Chiefs team.). At the same time, San Francisco has a quarterback it believes in this time. And while much of the football-consuming public might be sick of Chiefs-49ers for all the marbles yet again, I’d be lying if the matchup itself didn’t present some exciting possibilities.
Let’s map out a few early predictions for what might happen in Super Bowl 58 in Las Vegas on February 11.
