The San Francisco 49ers are set to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl on Sunday, setting up a rematch between two teams that look far different from their championship matchup four years ago.
For the Chiefs' offense, a key element to their success has been controlling the pace of the game through the ground attack, as running back Isiah Pacheco has operated as a bell-cow for Kansas City, accumulating over 200 carries this season on 4.6 yards per carry.
As of late, the 49ers have struggled with their run defense, showing issues with both effort and execution, which allowed both the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions to rush for over 130 yards on good efficiency in the playoffs against San Francisco.
