On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the Baltimore Ravens, 17-10, to punch their ticket to Super Bowl LVIII.
Mere hours later, the San Francisco 49ers roared back and picked up a come-from-behind win over the Detroit Lions, 34-31, sending them to The Big Game.
The game will be a rematch of Super Bowl LIV — a 31-20 Kansas City victory.
There will also be a slight New York Giants flavor to the entire thing. Eight former members of the team will either play, coach or participate in the NFL’s classic finale.
