The Kansas City Chiefs are about to take on the San Francisco 49ers for yet another Super Bowl win.
The Chiefs have played the 49ers on the big stage before, and they know what it takes to win a Lombardi with the world watching (against this very team, nonetheless).
Looking at what this Kansas City team specifically brings to the 2024 Super Bowl, there are several reasons why the Chiefs could win the big game.
While some of these might seem, well, obvious, they’re worth breaking down all the same. Here are five reasons why the Chiefs will be Super Bowl winners once more.
1
Patrick Mahomes is Patrick Mahomes
What else can you say? Mahomes is the biggest reason why Kansas City is here right now, and he’s the biggest reason why they can win.
He’s getting Tom Brady comparisons, and rightly so. For this team to win its third Super Bowl in four years, Mahomes being Mahomes will be key.
2
Travis Kelce is an all-time tight end
Kelce is one of the best postseason players in NFL history, and he’ll be a huge factor into another Chiefs Super Bowl win.
He and Mahomes have one of the most lethal connections in the entire league, and them finding the soft zones in the 49ers defense will be a necessity if the team’s wide receivers don’t step up like hoped.
Kelce is a future Hall of Fame tight end for a reason, and his success will be a major reason why this offense is worthy of a Super Bowl come game day.

Chris Jones and the Chiefs' defensive line are very good
Jones is one of the most dominant defensive players in the NFL, and he’s got plenty of help around him to disrupt the 49ers offense.
Defensive linemen like George Karlaftis, Mike Danna, Neil Farrell and Tershawn Wharton will join Jones in their effort to slow down San Francisco, and Steve Spagnuolo knows how to dial up pressure with his guys.
We’re betting this defensive front will play a big reason in a possible Chiefs win.
4
Andy Reid is one of the best coaches ever
Reid is one of the best coaches of all time, and he’s got two recent Super Bowls to show for it. He’ll know how to get his guys ready for a stage they’ve become quite familiar with, and he’ll be a major reason if they win again.
Reid’s offenses are some of the best in the NFL, and he’s outdueled 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan in the past during a Super Bowl.
If the Chiefs hoist a Lombardi, they’ll have Big Red to thank for that in part.
5
They've done this exact thing before
The Chiefs have toppled the 49ers in the Super Bowl before. In February 2020, Kansas City completed an impressive comeback to win Mahomes his first Super Bowl, and they could easily do that again.
Going against an opponent for a Super Bowl rematch is always an intriguing proposition, but we’re betting this familiarity could help Kansas City beat San Francisco yet again to win the Lombardi.
