Super Bowl LVIII

Super Bowl 58 looks to be an exciting game. The San Francisco 49ers play the Kansas City Chiefs on February 11. It will be a rematch of Super Bowl LIV, where the Chiefs beat the 49ers 31-20. This is Kansas City’s fourth appearance in the biggest game in five years. The last time the 49ers won the Super Bowl was after the 1994 season in Super Bowl XXIX. The 49ers entered the playoffs as the NFC’s No. 1 seed, while the Chiefs were the AFC’s third seed.

 

A win for the Chiefs would mean a dynasty for them. The list of teams to win three Super Bowls in five years isn’t long. The Steelers of the mid-1970s. Mid-1990s Cowboys and  Tom Brady and Bill Belichick Patriots managed to do it twice in two different decades. That is it. A win would propel the Chiefs to the best five-year streak in league history.

 

The 49ers could feel like they are starting a dynasty. Brock Purdy and Kyle Shanahan aren’t going anywhere, but a win would have a dramatic impact on their stories. Purdy would change from Mr. Irrelevant and a quarterback carried by his great position players like Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk and running back Christian McCaffrey, to the man who defeated the most talented quarterback to ever live in a Super Bowl. Shanahan can’t go back in time and maintain the lead his teams gained in the Super Bowl, but winning one as a head coach would rewrite his legacy.

 

Oh, and Taylor Swift will be watching too. Five months ago, the season started with a loss to the Chiefs. How will things end for them this season?

 

While all the attention will be on the game between the 49ers and Chiefs, whether you’re a football fan or not, the Super Bowl has something for everyone.

 

What makes the Super Bowl exciting, especially this year, is that Las Vegas will host their first Super Bowl. People mainly come to Las Vegas to gamble in the casino or walk around the Strip. If you are a sports fan, people come to watch boxing matches or one of the two local teams, the Las Vegas Raiders or the Vegas Golden Knights. With the Super Bowl coming to Sin City, it gives people another reason to go to Las Vegas.
