Super Bowl 2024: How many times have the Chiefs and 49ers met in Super Bowl history?

The San Francisco 49ers will face off against the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 58, promising an electrifying showdown. All football fans will have the chance to see this rematch of Super Bowl 54, where the Chiefs won 31-20, with Patrick Mahomes leading a remarkable comeback of 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.

This was the first time the teams met at this stage, and Kansas City broke their 50-year-old spell with their first championship since their loss to the Packers in the first-ever Super Bowl. The 49ers have a record number of final Game participation, trailing behind the Cowboys, and this year’s appearance will equal the Dallas team’s record of 8 Super Bowl Games in their franchise History.

The 49ers will also have the chance to win their first title since 1994 when they were led by the father of today’s coach, Kyle Shanahan, Mike Shanahan. The Andy Reid-led Chiefs have performed dynastically with quarterback Patrick Mahomes and tight end Travis Kelce, appearing in four Super Bowls since 2019 and winning two, LIV and LVII. Kansas City is seeking to become the first franchise to win successive Super Bowls since the New England Patriots in 2003-04, while the San Francisco team wants to engrave their name along with two other legendary franchises like Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots with six Super Bowl wins.

The coaching duel

The coaching prowess of Kyle Shanahan and Andy Reid will be in the spotlight as both are highly respected figures in the National Football League. These two strategic minds are known for making crucial adjustments that often determine the outcome of games. The coaching duel is expected to be a key narrative in Super Bowl 58, with Shanahan seeking to overcome past shortcomings in big games and Reid aiming to solidify his coaching legacy further.

The San Francisco 49ers, despite their immense talent, find themselves in a unique position. Having consistently been in contention for the Super Bowl, they now face the challenge of reaching the top and seizing the opportunity to come out as winners. The weight of “past near misses” adds extra intensity to their quest for Super Bowl glory. The pressure is tangible, especially for the 49ers.

Researchers find potentially dangerous bacteria on smartwatch wristbands

Researchers have found cloth, plastic and rubber smart watch wristbands can create ideal environments for bacteria linked to staph infections and E.coli. The study from Florida Atlantic University analysed 20 smartwatch wristbands worn by a mix of men and women made of materials like metal, leather, plastic, cloth and rubber. They found near all the bands were contaminated, but those made of metals such as gold or silver harboured little to no bacteria.

Putin asserts Ukrainian counteroffensive has begun, while drones strike within Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin says Ukrainian troops have started their long-expected counteroffensive KYIV, Ukraine -- Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted Friday that Ukrainian troops have started a long-expected counteroffensive and were suffering “significant” losses. His comments came just hours after a string of drone strikes inside Russian territory. It was Putin's latest effort to shape the gut-wrenching narrative of the invasion he ordered more than 15 months ago, sparking widespread international condemnation and reviving Cold War-style tensions. The conflict entered a complex new phase this week with the rupture of a Dnieper River dam that sent floodwaters gushing through a large swath of the front in southern Ukraine. Tens of thousands of civilians already facing the misery of regular shelling fled for higher ground on both sides of the swollen and sprawling waterway. Kyiv has played down talk of a counteroffensive, reasoning that the less said about its military

Chelsea make the most expensive substitution in football history against Brighton

The sheer quantity of multi-million-pound flesh at Chelsea is mind-boggling - and a logistical nightmare. After an absurdly extravagant January transfer window, Graham Potter was forced to field a 9v9 training match running concurrently with the standard 11v11 session just to ensure everyone had something to do. Supposedly, some of the club's cherished assets were also forced to squat on the floor at team meetings due to the lack of chairs for the bloated squad. Four seats opened up on the Chelsea bench shortly before the hour mark when Frank Lampard made the call to draw upon his intimidating squad depth as the Blues went in search of a winner against Brighton on Saturday afternoon. How the Blues were even level by the time the fourth official's board lit up was a mystery given Brighton's dominance on the ball and in both boxes. Roberto De Zerbi's side continued to play the intoxicating fluid football which has steered the Seagulls to seventh place, rattling off 20 sho
