In 2020, the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs faced off in Super Bowl LIV. Four years later, we’re getting a rematch.
After falling short, 31-20, in the first Super Bowl meeting, San Francisco is back for another shot after earning its trip to Las Vegas after pulling off a wild comeback against the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship. The 49ers overcame a 24-7 halftime deficit, to rally past the Lions 34-31 for the win. In the process, they blocked the Lions from reaching their first Super Bowl in franchise history.
The victory means that the 49ers are now headed to the Super Bowl for the third time in 11 years and eighth time overall.
As for the Chiefs, they advanced to the NFL’s biggest game by going on the road and beating the Baltimore Ravens, 17-10, in the AFC Championship.

This also marks the fourth time in five years that the Chiefs will be in the Super Bowl, which is a feat that’s only been accomplished by two other teams in NFL history (1990-93 Bills, 2014-18 Patriots).
With that in mind, let’s check out the entire 2024 NFL playoff schedule, including all the results.
