Super Bowl: Niners rally to beat Lions, set up showdown with Chiefs
FirstpostThe Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers set up a Super Bowl rematch on Sunday after battling through to the NFL championship showpiece on a dramatic day of playoff action. But San Francisco rattled off 27 second half points at Levi’s Stadium to clinch the NFC Championship and punch their ticket to the Super Bowl taking place in Las Vegas on February 11. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson – the presumptive NFL Most Valuable Player – was stifled by Kansas City’s swarming defense, while Chiefs counterpart Patrick Mahomes marshalled his team brilliantly to lead them back to the Super Bowl once more. Another Kansas City veteran of that Super Bowl victory – tight end Travis Kelce – was outstanding in Sunday’s win with 11 receptions for 116 yards, which included the Chiefs opening touchdown.
