Super Bowl LIV and the importance of having an elite tight end

The matchup for Super Bowl LIV is set. The San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs are set to meet in Miami to fight for the ultimate crown. While both teams are very different in identity, they do have one particular thing in common, and it’s something they also have in common with other recent Super Bowl winners.

This year’s Super Bowl is a matchup between the two best tight ends in the NFL in the 49ers’ George Kittle and the Chiefs’ Travis Kelce.

Kittle eclipsed the 1,000-yard receiving mark for the second time of his short three-year career in 2019.
