There is just one game remaining. The NFC and AFC Championship Games were played on Sunday and the final two teams are standing.
It will be a rematch of four years ago — the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs, when the Chiefs won their first title in 50 years and started their run.
The Kansas City Chiefs took down the Baltimore Ravens 17-10 to make it to the big game for the fourth time in the last five years.
The San Francisco 49ers, in the NFC title game for the second consecutive year, rallied from a 24-7 halftime deficit to beat the Detroit Lions 34-31, thanks to some questionable decisions from Detroit and an offensive awakening. They scored on all five of their offensive possessions in the second half before running out the clock at the end of the game.
The Chiefs can become the first team to repeat as Super Bowl champions since the New England Patriots did it in 2003-2004.
