The stage is set for Super Bowl 58, as the Chiefs and 49ers prepare to battle for the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in the last five seasons.
On the heels of a pedestrian regular season — at least, pedestrian by Kansas City standards — the Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl for the fourth time in the last five years.
The road here, though, proved daunting. After vanquishing a high-flying Dolphins offense in the wild-card round, Kansas City ousted the Bills in Buffalo and silenced the No. 1 seed Ravens in Baltimore to win the AFC. As such, everything is clicking for the Chiefs.

Patrick Mahomes has continued his stunning playoff dominance, improving to 14-3 as a starter in the playoffs. Travis Kelce, meanwhile, has rediscovered his All-Pro form, racking up 262 receiving yards and three touchdowns across three playoff games. And the Chiefs’ defense is coming off a dominant performance against Lamar Jackson and one of the league’s most potent attacks.
The 49ers, too, enter the matchup with plenty of momentum after authoring a pair of thrilling comeback victories to reach their first Super Bowl since 2020. In the NFC Championship Game, San Francisco rallied out of a 17-point hole to stun the Lions, fueled by a strong second-half performance from oft-slighted quarterback Brock Purdy.

Alongside Purdy, the 49ers will continue to rely on star running back Christian McCaffery, who has four touchdowns in two playoff games this year. Plus, San Francisco touts one of the top-scoring defenses in the NFL, and the unit is loaded with playmakers.
Will the 49ers exact revenge for their loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl 54? Or will the Chiefs hoist their third Lombardi Trophy in the Mahomes era?
