— Phill Spiker

MIAMI — Open-minded flexibility is the only rigid rule the Chiefs and 49ers have had in common as they traveled their different paths to Hard Rock Stadium for Super Bowl LIV on Sunday.

“Any way you can get here, you get here,” Chiefs General Manager Brett Veach said. “So, yeah, it’s gratifying when you look back and realize all that went into the different decisions you made as an organization to get here.”

How these teams got here is a fascinating tale of top-to-bottom malleability.

It’s 61-year-old Chiefs coach Andy Reid using a new-age offense in hopes of adding a Super Bowl ring to his record as the sixth-winningest coach in NFL history.
