Can the 49ers take down the mighty Chiefs in Super Bowl 58?

It’s taken four years to do so, but the San Francisco 49ers are headed back to the big game to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 58. Of course, the 49ers’ last Super Bowl appearance back in 2019 was against the Chiefs, and it didn’t go so well for them back then. Will their fortunes change this time around?

In both the Divisional Round against the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions, the 49ers had to make massive comebacks to earn a win and keep their playoff and Super Bowl hopes alive—which was very un-49ers like.

Can the 49ers take down the mighty Chiefs in Super Bowl 58?

It’s taken four years to do so, but the San Francisco 49ers are headed back to the big game to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 58. Of course, the 49ers’ last Super Bowl appearance back in 2019 was against the Chiefs, and it didn’t go so well for them back then. Will their fortunes change this time around?

In both the Divisional Round against the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions, the 49ers had to make massive comebacks to earn a win and keep their playoff and Super Bowl hopes alive—which was very un-49ers like.

All season long, this team has more or less blown out their opponents with their prolific offense and defense that both ranked in the top 10 in the league. But it has been the playoffs that have caused trouble for head coach Kyle Shanahan’s groups over the last several years, mainly in the NFC Championship.

The 49ers had lost their last two appearances in the conference title game, which in turn put the onus on Shanahan for once again not being able to come through in big games. But that all changed on Sunday night when the 49ers stayed undefeated at Levi’s Stadium by making the biggest comeback in NFC Championship Game history to move onto the Super Bowl. Now the mission is to do one better and prove that Shanahan and the 49ers can win it all and give the franchise their first title since 1994. So let’s get into some 49ers bold predictions for Super Bowl 58.

Christian McCaffrey gets over 100 total yards of offense, scores twice

This Chiefs defense has been relentless this season and during the NFL playoffs especially. Against the Miami Dolphins and the Baltimore Ravens, they held both to under 100 yards rushing. The Buffalo Bills, however, came close to 200 yards, but they also had Josh Allen to account for. Holding Christian McCaffrey to under 100 yards rushing is one thing but total offense is another as he has been so good out of the backfield. There’s no reason to believe that McCaffrey won’t be dynamic as usual in this game.
