In 2020, the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs faced off in Super Bowl LIV. Four years later, we’re getting a rematch.
After falling short, 31-20, in the first Super Bowl meeting, San Francisco is back for another shot after earning its trip to Las Vegas after pulling off a wild comeback against the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship.
