The 49ers are headed to the Super Bowl after a convincing victory over the Green Bay Packers Sunday in the NFC Championship Game.
They’ll face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, who beat Tennessee earlier in the AFC title game.
These are two of the NFL’s most dominant teams in 2019, but only one was expected to be near this position. The Chiefs are likely seeing the benefit of their preseason expectations in this line, considering the 49ers had the better regular-season record (13-3 vs. 12-4) and is the more well-rounded team (top 5 in regular-season yards gained and yards allowed).
