5:30 P.M. SUNDAY, FOX-32 | MIAMI GARDENS, FLA.

Patrick Mahomes is proving to be worth his weight. There’s no doubt about that. The superstar quarterbac­k is the biggest reason the Chiefs are back in the Super Bowl after 50 years away. But as K.C. fans celebrate a golden anniversar­y, the Chiefs face an opponent that appears to be well-equipped to stop them. The 49ers, the gold standard for defense and running the ball this postseason, struck it rich with two easy wins in January, setting them up for a chance at a record-tying sixth Super Bowl title. It’s a classic matchup, with two storied franchises — and everyone wondering what the golden child might do next.
