Super Bowl LIV watch guide: Everything to know about 49ers vs. Chiefs
The Kansas City Chiefs will be appearing in their first Super Bowl in 50 years and their third appearance ever. The 49ers will be making their seventh trip to the big game and their first in seven years.
It sets up what should be a fantastic matchup and clash of styles with the Chiefs’ breakneck offense against the 49ers’ ferocious pass rush and running game.
Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is the winningest head coach in NFL history without a Super Bowl victory, losing his one shot with the Philadelphia Eagles following the 2014 season. The 49ers’ Kyle Shanahan is in his first Super Bowl as a head coach after losing three years ago with the Atlanta Falcons as their offensive coordinator before taking the job in San Francisco.
