As the players were introduced, boos rained down on Travis Kelce while George Kittle basked in cheers from the crowd.
A surprised Kelce responded, saying, "You all are firing me up, make me want to play right now, baby. I love the boos more than I love the cheers, baby. You keep them coming, Niner Gang. Keep them coming."
In a playful exchange, Kittle was asked to choose the better tight end between himself and Kelce, but Kelce interjected and answered on behalf of the 49ers star player.
The 49ers and Chiefs will play Super Bowl 58 at Allegiant Stadium on Sunday.
