The San Francisco 49ers - the number one-seeded NFC representative - face the number three-seeded Kansas City Chiefs of the AFC Sunday evening in the 2024 Super Bowl. The two teams faced in Super Bowl LVI in 2020, where the Chiefs defeated the 49ers, 31-20.
The teams look somewhat different since that game four years ago, mostly on the 49ers side, who added Brock Purdy at quarterback, Christian McCaffrey at running back, and Brandon Aiyuk at wide receiver. The Chiefs no longer have star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, but Patrick Mahomes is four more years advanced in his career.
