The Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers are days away from taking the field at Allegiant Stadium for Super Bowl LVIII.
For those just tuning in, here’s how they got here.
San Francisco 49ers
Divisional Round
Defeated the Green Bay Packers 24-21 at Levi’s Stadium. The Packers controlled the majority of this game but fell short as Brock Purdy led the 49ers to a second half comeback.
NFC Championship Game
Defeated the Detroit Lions 34-31 at Levi’s Stadium. Deja vu for the 49ers as they see their opponent control the game until midway through the 3rd quarter when Purdy, McCaffrey, and co. come roaring back.
