The NFL fans are gearing up for the Super Bowl LVIII game. But this high-octane clash between the Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers is not the first time for them. In 2020, these NFL teams went against each other to get the much coveted Vince Lombardi trophy. The Chiefs came up on top, and the 49ers had to face defeat.

Now, as both teams are preparing for a Super Bowl LV rematch, fans will hope that a minor mistake won’t happen this time around. In a hilarious twist, the then President Donald Trump ended up making a silly yet colossal blunder. This eventually landed him in hot waters with some people.

The Kansas City Chiefs won the 2020 Super Bowl. To congratulate the winning team, Donald Trump took to the social media platform X (formerly Twitter). However, he mistakenly referred to the team from the ‘Great state of Kansas’.

The Chiefs are based in the state of Missouri and are in no way related to the Kansas City located in the state of Kansas. However, the tweet was soon deleted from his account. Later, a new tweet was uploaded from his official account as he congratulated the team while mentioning the correct state.

Trump tweeted, “Congratulations to the Kansas City Chiefs on a great game and a fantastic comeback under immense pressure. We are proud of you and the Great State of Missouri. You are true Champions!” 

The Kansas City Chiefs have appeared in the Super Bowl once more after that and won again. So will the team take over the 49ers just like they did back in 2020 and get themselves another Vince Lombradi?

Chiefs vs 49ers: A Super Bowl look back

The Super Bowl LV took place in Miami Gardens, Florida. Patrick Mahomes obviously led the Chiefs and worked with the ‘Cheetah’ Tyreek Hill to upset the 49ers.

Surprisingly, the red and white team could not take the lead till the fourth quarter. Sitting at 20-10, the 49ers were favored to win, but then things shifted in the final quarter. All thanks to a Mahomes, Kelce, and Hill partnership. And eventually, the team picked up pace and came up victorious with a 11 point lead at 31-20. But what are the odds for the upcoming super Bowl rematch?

Even though Mahomes and Co were not in their best form this season, they have been dominating the playoffs so far. Despite a lot of people favoring the 49ers, you never know what will happen. However, the Chiefs are lacking Tyreek Hill this time around, while the 49ers have a new QB as Brock Purdy.

After juggling with words for years, it still comes as a surprise how much there is to write and read.
