It might not seem very difficult to take over the Chiefs given the season that they have had. However, they have shown a completely new look in the playoffs. On the other hand, San Francisco 49ers and Brock Purdy struggled to maintain pace after having an impeccable regular season.
Giants’ legend, Justin Tuck, took it upon himself to draw the blueprint to defeat the Chiefs for the 49ers. He said in a conversation with TMZ Sports, “you have to get him a lot“. The DE further continued stating, “I mean only reason why we were able to beat Tom is just coz we had a D-Line that could get after him”
Tuck further continued that Nick Bosa and Arik Armstead are strong enough players and can get the Chiefs’ QB. Despite giving away such a tip to the 49ers, the DE also suggested them to “play their best game” because “Mahomes is Mahomes“. Can these tips allow the 49ers to take revenge against the red and white team for their Super Bowl LV defeat?
Patrick Mahomes vs 49ers: Who will win?
There’s not much that can be predicted about the much-anticipated game. Based on the season that the 49ers had, and how the Chiefs dominated the playoffs, it’s safe to say that this Super Bowl is going to be one action-filled clash. Even though the Chiefs are facing a couple of problematic injuries that could affect them, they’re in a good enough space. The same can be said for Brock Purdy and Co, as they are managing fine despite having some fumbles in the playoffs.

So far the 49ers are favored to win given their consistent performance this season thanks to their QB, Purdy. However, the Chiefs have also picked up speed in the playoffs. The 2x MVP winner, QB Mahomes and star TE, Travis Kelce, seem to be in good shape.
