Kansas City Chiefs are the Super Bowl 2020 champions.
It only comes once a year but the Kansas City Chiefs are now the Super Bowl 2020 champions. After a rigorous battle between the two teams ultimately there could only be one champion. The Chiefs stood tall winning the Super Bowl 31 – 20 against the San Francisco 49ers.
The San Francisco 49ers finished the 2019 season with an NFC-best 13–3 record under third-year head coach Kyle Shanahan. San Francisco’s rise to the top came as a surprise to the league, as they had finished the previous season 4–12 and had not recorded a winning record since 2013.
Kansas City’s defense ranked seventh in league in points allowed. Their defensive line featured two Pro Bowl selections, Chris Jones who recorded ninth sacks and Frank Clark who had eight sacks and three forced fumbles, along with Emmanuel Ogbah who had 5.5 sacks in only 10 games played. Linebackers Anthony Hitchens and Damien Wilson led the team in tackles with 88 and 81.
The Chiefs defense was bolstered late in the season when they claimed off waivers 16-year veteran linebacker Terrell Suggs, who was picked up after being cut from the Arizona Cardinals in week 14. Suggs finished the season with 4 forced fumbles and 6.5 sacks.
Tyrann Mathieu, in his first season with the Chiefs, tallied four interceptions, two sacks and 75 tackles, which was enough to earn his second career AP first-team All-Pro selection as a defensive back. He was also listed second-team All-Pro as a safety. Rookie safety Juan Thornhill added three interceptions and 57 tackles, but was placed on injured reserve late in the season.
