The matchup for the 2024 Super Bowl is set, with the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs taking on the San Francisco 49ers.
The Chiefs would be going into the Super Bowl for their second straight season after beating the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 in the AFC Championship.
This is the franchise’s fourth appearance in the NFL’s title game in the last five seasons.
Sunday’s matchup at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore featured two of the NFL’s most dynamic quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson on their opening drive.
Both teams exchanged touchdown drives on the next two possessions.
The Chiefs put together a 10-play, 86-yard drive capped by a touchdown reception by star tight end Travis Kelce.
The Ravens responded with a quick 6-play drive punctuated by a 30-yard pass from Jackson to Xavian Flowers.
A two-yard touchdown run by Isiah Pacheco with 10:56 left in the second quarter put the Chiefs up 17-7 which was the last of the game.
The 49ers have five Super Bowl wins but haven’t won since 1995. It was the Chiefs who stopped them from their last chance at the trophy in 2020.
The 2024 Super Bowl will be held on Feb. 11 at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nev.
“Since the playoffs began this month, the Chiefs have quieted doubts over whether they could shake off their regular season weaknesses,” KCUR reported.
