Even though some of the names have changed, the 49ers and Chiefs are competing to determine the Super Bowl champion for the second time in four years.
Kansas City won the previous meeting 31-20 on Feb. 2, 2020. The victory was spurred on by the Chiefs outscoring San Francisco 21-0 in the fourth quarter to erase a 10-point deficit.
It was the first championship for the Chiefs since 1969. They have since gone on to play in three of the last four Super Bowls, including the upcoming showdown with the 49ers. They can become the first team to repeat as champions since the New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004.
San Francisco is looking to win its first Super Bowl in 29 seasons. A victory would also tie the New England Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers for most Super Bowl titles in NFL history (six).
The 49ers have lost their last two appearances in the Big Game. They were defeated by the Baltimore Ravens, 34-31, in Super Bowl 47. They advanced to this game thanks to two comeback wins over the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions.
The 17-point deficit San Francisco faced against the Lions was tied for the largest comeback win in NFC Championship Game history. The last team to do it was the 49ers squad that lost to the Ravens in the Super Bowl.
Super Bowl 58 will be played at Allegiant Stadium on Feb. 11.
