It’s been nearly two decades since a team won back-to-back Super Bowls. That hasn’t stopped the Chiefs from getting back to the doorstep of another championship, nor has an offense that didn’t look anything like the Kansas City offenses of the past for much of the season.
Anchored by a terrific defense and Patrick Mahomes’ patience with an inconsistent group of receivers, the Chiefs are back on the NFL’s biggest stage anyway. Standing in the way of a third title in five years are the 49ers, who feel they have some unfinished business in Super Bowl 58.
San Francisco enters Sunday as the slight favorite, but the inexperience of former Mr. Irrelevant QB Brock Purdy has created some doubts about the 49ers’ championship hopes along the way. Purdy did his best to erase those doubts with comeback wins over the Packers and Lions to reach the Super Bowl, and just one win now separates him from a special place in NFL history.

The 49ers’ offense has been a machine for much of the season, with four dynamic weapons in Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk at Purdy’s disposal. Cracking a Steve Spagnuolo-led Chiefs defense that has made life difficult for opposing quarterbacks all season might be one of the biggest challenges of Kyle Shanahan’s career as the seventh-year coach looks to put past Super Bowl collapses behind him.
A Chiefs win would leave no doubt that Mahomes is leading a dynasty. It would make Mahomes, Kelce and Andy Reid, among others, three-time Super Bowl champions. While the 49ers have been in this position before, it’s been 29 years since their last Super Bowl victory. It takes a special group to finish the job, and the 49ers believe they have it four years after blowing a late lead against Mahomes and the Chiefs on this same stage.
