Similarities and differences in 49ers-Chiefs rosters since the 2020 Super Bowl

Sunday marks 1,470 days since the Kansas City Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV in 2020.

In that time, plenty has stayed the same — both teams have the same coaches — and plenty has changed — the Chiefs were just a team with a young quarterback in 2019, now seeking a dynasty against a team with a young quarterback. The similarities and differences continue into both teams’ rosters, with four seasons worth of turnover since the first Super Bowl matchup.
