Kyle Shanahan, Jimmy Garoppolo, and the San Francisco 49ers will face Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes, and the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, two weeks from today.

The Chiefs are early 1.5-point favorites following each conference's title games. That means that, for the first time since Week 14, the 49ers find themselves as underdogs heading into a game. The New Orleans Saints entered that home matchup as one-point favorites over the visiting 49ers. San Francisco ended up winning the game 48-46.

The February 2 championship game will be the 49ers' seventh Super Bowl appearance in franchise history and an opportunity for San Francisco to earn its sixth Lombardi Trophy.

The Chiefs got here by beating the Tennessee Titans 35-24 in Sunday's AFC Championship Game. The 49ers beat the Green Bay Packers 37-20 in the NFC Championship Game to earn a trip to the Super Bowl.

Kansas City will act as the home team, utilizing the Miami Dolphins' locker room, while San Francisco will serve as the road team, utilizing the visitors' locker room.

With the 2024 NFL Draft less than a week away, it's common for the rumor mill to start churning, especially with players who are actively seeking a new contract. It was just two short years ago that WR Deebo Samuel requested a trade from the San Francisco 49ers prior to draft day, only for cooler heads to prevail and eventually agree to a new deal. Now, it's WR Brandon Aiyuk's turn to try and get paid and rumors surfaced over the weekend that he too would request to be dealt. While that report was quickly shot down by his agent, there's still a lot of discussion about Aiyuk's future and if other teams will come calling on draft night.

Analyst Dane Brugler recently revealed his seven-round mock draft for The Athletic, forecasting all 257 selections in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft, set to kick off next week. "Piecing together a mock like this is time consuming, but I enjoy the exercise, because it allows me to focus on each team's needs, organizational trends and prospect-team pairings that make sense based on '30' visits, league buzz and overall interest," Brugler wrote. Most expect the 49ers to address the trenches early in the draft, and Brugler has the team doing that. It's just not on the offensive side of the football.

Armstead, a former first-round pick, was an impactful force on the football field. However, his availability over the last two seasons forced the 49ers to reevaluate his contract, and when his salary could not be significantly reduced, the two sides parted ways. "Huge surprise," Warner said of learning that Armstead was being released. "Ever since I've been here, we called him the blueprint for how to be a Niner. That was the longest-tenured Niner that's been here and a guy that's done it right through and through." Warner has been in the NFL long enough to understand how the league works.
