In the upcoming Super Bowl LVIII, the San Francisco 49ers will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch of Super Bowl LIV. In their previous encounter, the 49ers had a comfortable lead of 20-10 early in the fourth quarter, but unfortunately fell apart and lost 31-20 to Patrick Mahomes and his team. There has been discussion about 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan seeking redemption not only for that loss, but also for his defeat as the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI. Additionally, Shanahan aims to break his winless streak against Chiefs head coach Andy Reid. The first meeting between the two coaches occurred in Week 3 of the 2018 season, resulting in a 38-27 victory for Kansas City. They faced each other again in Week 7 of the following season, with Reid’s team securing a 21-point win. However, the 49ers have undergone significant changes since then. Star running back Christian McCaffrey joined the team in a notable trade with the Carolina Panthers, and he has since become an integral part of the offense, earning the title of Offensive Player of the Year with impressive rushing yards and touchdowns. Furthermore, the 49ers have replaced Jimmy Garoppolo with quarterback Brock Purdy, who possesses a greater skill set and abilities. Garoppolo struggled in Super Bowl LIV, throwing two interceptions and failing to perform in the final quarter.
