When the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs meet in the Super Bowl on Sunday night, you’ll have plenty of story lines to sift through. There’s the sustained greatness of the Chiefs, the AFC’s next dynasty and the one most likely to challenge all the marks set by Tom Brady and Bill Belichick with the Patriots. There’s the 49ers, who have the league’s great offensive genius as their head coach but are still looking to get over the hump and win it all. There’ll be quarterback comparisons that favor Brock Purdy for clicks and outrage, there will be not enough time spent on the excellence of these two defenses, and there will be talk of Kadarius Toney viewing himself as a Greek god of receiving while he puts up Van Jefferson production.
This year’s Super Bowl is a reminder that you need a great coach, a great QB, or both
