If you’re curious why Jon Embree is smiling, roll the clock back to Week 3 of the preseason, to the inside joke that keeps on giving.
On Aug. 24 at Arrowhead Stadium, the 49ers beat the Chiefs 27-17. Embree, the former CU player and coach and Cherry Creek alum, and son Taylor are on Kyle Shanahan’s staff in San Francisco; Embree’s son Connor is on Andy Reid’s staff in Kansas City.
To mark the occasion, some folks were kind enough to print out T-shirts for friends and family with the words THE EMBREE BOWL printed on the front.
