The NFL season is coming to a close. Superbowl 54 is just 1 weeks away. The top NFC defense San Fransisco 49ers are set to be the home team in Miami vs the the high flying Kansas City chiefs offense. With all championship games the story lines are abundant. 49ers have the aging top corner Richard Sherman's remarkable comeback after an achiles tear that was thought to have derailed his career just 2 years ago. A former backup to Tom Brady, Jimmy Garropollo getting his own chance to win his own ring and a head coach who can earn a Superbowl victory just like his father. The Cheifs have a pheonom Quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, trying to follow up an mvp season that came just short of the big game with a season ending in victory. The Head coach who is arguably the best to never win a superbowl can finally get that monkey off his back. A victory for the Cheifs would mark 50 years since their only championship in Superbowl 4. What a way for the 100th season to end with that symetry.
It'll come down to experience. The Niners have the edge with Kyle Shanahan, Richard Sherman, Emmanuel Sanders and Jimmy Garropollo all having superbowl experience. All of whom were vicrotious aside from Shanahan. A big factor in achieving success in the Superbowl is managing all of the distractions that come with Superbowl week. The media frenzy and the many requests from family and friends to hook them up with tickets are mentally exhausting for players. Those who have been there before know what to expect and have a better chance of managing. Andy Reid has lost a Superbowl as the head coach of the Eagles. Another person with experience is Terrell Suggs who won eith the Ravens in superbowl 47.
The 49ers not only have a great defense but their offense is very good. Their Run game against a medicro Cheifs run defense should be the decided not only by running but with play action as well. Raheem Mostart romminated the Packers in the NFC championship so the Cheifs will have that in mind when game planning. Shannahan is a great offensive mind and he'll use this as an advantage in the passing game. Look for the Niners to win and don't be surprised when Emmanuel Sanders wins mvp. Kittle is going to command alot of attention and Deebo Samuel has been balling out. Sabders has been quiet lately but hes a big game player and he's been there before. Sanders is a free agent this offseason so you better believe he's gonna put on a showcase for any teams interested in him.
