Check out the Chiefs’ recent history against the 49ers

Take a look at the #Chiefs’ history against the #49ers since 2000 ahead of Super Bowl LVIII.

The Kansas City Chiefs are no strangers to facing the San Francisco 49ers and will compete against the West Coast powerhouse in Super Bowl LVIII for a chance to win back-to-back championships.

While regular season matchups against the 49ers are relatively uncommon for the Chiefs, San Francisco’s has been indelibly tied to Kansas City for decades.

Legendary 49ers quarterback Joe Montana decided to take his talents to Western Missouri to play for the Chiefs for two seasons in 1993 and 1994. Later in the 90s, Kansas City turned to another San Francisco signal-caller, Steve Bono, to quarterback the Chiefs from 1994 to 1996.

Then, in 2013, Kansas City made one of the most consequential moves in franchise history by trading for quarterback Alex Smith, who helped the Chiefs rebuild before mentoring Patrick Mahomes in 2017.

Clearly, these teams are bound at the hip in NFL history, and their matchups in recent seasons have been battles for the ages.

History has shown that upsets – including some very big ones – often take place in the divisional round. That’s why it wouldn’t be a huge surprise if Minnesota, Tennessee, Houston or Seattle pulls off an upset this week.

Divisional round upsets have taken place before and they’ll take place again. Let’s take a look at the nine biggest upsets in divisional round history:

1985: Patriots 27, Raiders 20

This was a historic season for the Patriots. They became the first team in history to make it to the Super Bowl by winning three straight road games. The victory in Los Angeles was especially big because the Raiders had gone 12-4 and appeared to be one of the league’s dominant teams. The Patriots also won at Miami the following week, but got crushed in the Super Bowl by the Chicago Bears.
