Peter Schrager of the NFL Network seems to have mastered this art. He's accurately called the last four Super Bowl champions, including the Chiefs in 2023, the Rams in 2022, Brady's Buccaneers in 2021, and Mahomes' Chiefs in 2020.
Schrager's latest prediction? Fans can anticipate a showdown between Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas for the 2024 Super Bowl. The 49ers have been on the cusp of a return to the big game in recent seasons.
And as for who will lift the trophy? Schrager envisions Mahomes and the Chiefs clinching yet another Super Bowl victory, making them the first consecutive champions since the 2005 Patriots. He projects a thrilling 34-28 win for the Chiefs over the 49ers led by Brock Purdy, promising an electrifying spectacle in Vegas.
The two teams previously clashed in Super Bowl LIV, where Mahomes orchestrated a 21-0 comeback to secure the Lombardi Trophy. The pivotal moment was a game-winning pass to Damien Williams in the final minutes.
In that match, Damien Williams showcased his prowess with 133 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. Tyreek Hill was the top receiver, tallying nine catches for 105 yards. Mahomes, despite two interceptions, threw for 286 yards and three touchdowns.
For the 49ers, Jimmy Garoppolo posted 219 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, while Deebo Samuel was the standout, amassing 92 scrimmage yards.
