The Chiefs, led by 2019 league MVP Patrick Mahomes, will be playing in their first Super Bowl in 50 years. Mahomes is one of, if not the, most exciting young stars in the NFL. After winning the MVP award in his first season as the Chiefs’ starting Quarterback last season, Mahomes suffered an injury earlier this season, but returned before the end of the season to finish the season in a strong way.
Meanwhile, the San Francisco 49ers are returning to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2013, when they lost to the Baltimore Ravens. That team was led by Colin Kaepernick, who the league has since essentially exiled after Kaepernick repeatedly knelt during the national anthem in an attempt to peacefully protest the unfair treatment of African-Americans in the U.S.
The Chiefs defeated the Houston Texans (in a historic comeback) and Tennessee Titans to get to the Super Bowl, while the 49ers went through the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers.
With the 49ers being the arch-rival of the Seattle Seahawks, many in Vancouver are likely rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs. Not this particularly writer, though.
Go Niners.
