The Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers will be taking on one another in Super Bowl LVIII a week from Sunday. It’s the second time in four years that these two have played in the big game against one another.
In preparation for what promises to be an exciting week in Las Vegas, both teams landed in Southern Nevada Sunday evening. The Chiefs were the first to land, receiving a very Vegas welcome.
The San Francisco 49ers were not too far behind. They got a great send-off by fans in Northern California before ultimately landing in Sin City.
The 49ers currently find themselves as two-point favorites against the defending Super Bowl champions. It is also expected that their faithful will be taking over Las Vegas given the city’s proximity to the Bay Area.

“We’ve been so close, and we finally have another opportunity, and you have to make the most of it because you never know if you’ll have another opportunity. You have to sell out for three hours and give it your best,” 49ers linebacker Fred Warner said ahead of the Super Bowl.
As for the Chiefs, this is the fourth time they’ll be appearing in the Super Bowl since Patrick Mahomes took over as the team’s starter back in 2018. It’s seemingly more business for Kansas City in comparison to the team’s counterpart.
“Getting to the Super Bowl is an amazing challenge. Doing it back-to-back is rare, which proves how difficult it is. It’s also an amazing opportunity for us. Internally, before games – especially big ones – we talk a lot about how we have an opportunity to make some more history,” Kansas City Chiefs president Mark Donovan said.
