Super Bowl 2024: Kansas City-San Francisco
The San Francisco 49ers, with surprising quarterback Brock Purdy, have finally climbed the playoff mountain back to the Super Bowl, where a familiar rival awaits them.
The Niners’ new opportunity to win the Super Bowl will be in a second game against the Kansas City Chiefs. It will be a rare rematch in such a short time.
“It’s perfect,” San Francisco defensive end Nick Bosa said of getting his second chance in five years to beat Patrick Mahomes’ team.
“They are a bigger organization than almost anyone else, because of their coach and their quarterback. And they went badly. They hadn’t been that good this year and now they’re playing at their best level, so it’s going to be a great challenge.”
