Winning back-to-back Super Bowls will give Patrick Mahomes his third championship
The highly anticipated Super Bowl featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers kicks off on February 11 at 6:30 PM.
Both teams battled for the title in 2020, with Patrick Mahomes leading his Chiefs to the Lombardi Trophy. Kansas City won the Super Bowl again in 2023 and is looking to build their dynasty with a third.
The defending champions finished the season atop the AFC West with an 11-6 record. They then defeated the Miami Dolphins and played an all-time classic with the Buffalo Bills before upsetting the top-seeded Baltimore Ravens in the AFC championship game.
On the other hand, the new 49ers secured the top seed in the NFC with a 12-5 record behind quarterback Brock Purdy and running back Christian McCaffrey.
San Francisco dismissed the Green Bay Packers and came back to beat the Detroit Lions to cement their spot in the Super Bowl.
