The two teams played an exciting game that ended in overtime, with Kansas City finding a way to win after trailing by 10 points. This season, the teams have been on different paths. The Chiefs are undefeated at 5-0 as they seek a third straight Super Bowl, while the 49ers sit at 3-3 amid Christian McCaffrey's injury situation. The Chiefs and 49ers will meet on Sunday afternoon for a rematch of the Super Bowl, and ESPN is predicting another close matchup between the two teams. <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/401671777/chiefs-49ers" rel="nofollow"> According to ESPN Analytics </a> , the Chiefs have a 51.5% chance to win Sunday's Super Bowl rematch. The Chiefs enter after an early-season bye, winning their last game against the New Orleans Saints. They've dealt with injuries of their own this season as Hollywood Brown, Isiah Pacheco and Rashee Rice are all out for several weeks. The 49ers are looking to move above .500 with a big win over the two-time defending champions. They appeared to get their season back on track with an impressive win over the Seattle Seahawks last Thursday night, and they should be well-rested heading into Sunday's game. The biggest issue for the 49ers is still the health of star running back Christian McCaffrey. Last year's offensive player of the year is dealing with Achilles tendonitis in both legs, an injury that the team has been extremely careful and cautious with. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=1jkAbF_0wAo6jlh00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1jkAbF_0wAo6jlh00" width="1200" height="749" ><figcaption>San Francisco 49ers' defensive lineman #97 Nick Bosa attempts to block Kansas City Chiefs' quarterback #15 Patrick Mahomes during Super Bowl LVIII between the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada, February 11, 2024.

Undrafted back Jordan Mason has been productive this season while filling in for McCaffrey, and the team seems to be comfortable with waiting until the four-time All-Pro is fully healthy. The Chiefs are one of the NFL's final two undefeated teams this season, along with the Minnesota Vikings. The AFC playoffs have often run through Kansas City during the Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes era. If Kansas City can start the season 6-0, there's a good chance they'll be in contention for the conference's top seed and home field advantage in the playoffs. <a href="https://thespun.com/nfl/san-francisco-49ers/kyle-shanahan-not-thinking-about-49ers-rough-history-with-chiefs" rel="nofollow"> Related: Kyle Shanahan Not Thinking About 49ers' Rough History With Chiefs </a></div></body>
