        Spotlight On the 49ers
T  he San Francisco 49ers
   dominated Aaron Rodgers
and the Green Bay Packers
with a score of 37–20 during
the NFC Championship game.
   This is the first time the team has made
it to the Super Bowl since 2013, when they
suffered a close loss at the hands of the Bal-
timore Ravens.
   After struggling through injuries and a los-
ing record last season, the team is prepared
for battle under the guidance of their head
coach, Kyle Shanahan. It took the coach
only three years to make the big game after
taking the job in 2017.
          Rebound Season
  The San Francisco 49ers joined the history
books after their victory over the Green Bay
Packers in the NFC Championship game.
Only in one other instance has a team made
the Super Bowl after losing at least 12 games
in their previous season. This is a feat ac-
complished previously by the St. Louis
Rams, who went on to win the big game in
2000.
  A season-ending knee injury to quar-
terback Jimmy Garoppolo can partly be
blamed for last year’s losing season. The
lackluster performance from the 49ers did,
however, earn them the number two pick in
this year’s draft. Enter Nick Bosa.

          Coach Comparison
                      A    unique storyline to follow in anticipation of Super Bowl LIV is the coaching matchup.

  Both Andy Reid and Kyle
Shanahan have experienced
historical heartbreak in previ-
ous events but look to lead
their teams to victory and
obtain their first ring as head
coach. Time will tell if the ex-
perience of Reid will outshine
the relatively new leader in
San Francisco.
          Andy Reid
  The leader of the Kansas
City Chiefs began his coach-
ing career as an offensive line
coach for four different col-
leges. Reid obtained his first
job in the National Football
League as an offensive assis-
tant for the Green Bay Packers
in 1992.
  During his time with the
Packers, he helped lead the
team to a Super Bowl XXXI
victory in a matchup against
the New England Patriots in
1996. He took over the role of
quarterback coach the follow-
ing year.                             Andy Reid, coach of the Kansas                                           Kyle Shanahan, coach of the San

                                fans may imagine. At its core, pizza consists of a crust, sauce
                                and a cheese. But pizza can be crafted in myriad ways thanks
                                to toppings and crust styles. But wait … there’s more.

Quarterbacks: Setting the Pace
                 W     ith a victory, the San Francisco 49ers would become tied with the Steelers and
                       Patriots for the most Super Bowl championships within a franchise, with six.
  After a heartbreaking sea-
son of losses and injuries last
year, the turnaround made
by the team is nothing short
of amazing. Led by Kyle
Shanahan on the sidelines
and Jimmy Garoppolo under
center, the 49ers look to hoist
the Lombardi Trophy when
the scoreboard reads double
zeros.
  On the other side of the
competition, the Kansas City
Chiefs are entering their first
Super Bowl in 50 years. Dur-
ing their first and only ap-
pearance in the big game, the
Chiefs lost to the Packers in
the first AFL-NFL Champion-
ship Game. This year, head
coach Andy Reid will enter
his second Super Bowl game
with the reigning MVP, Patrick
Mahomes, at the helm.
  While the quarterbacks play
with totally different styles,
the pace of the matchup will
be set by these two impres-
sive players.

 Savory sandwiches for tailgate fun
            G    ame day experiences are made even more enjoyable by hosting or attending a tailgate in
                 the parking lot of the stadium.
             Tailgate supplies must be brought to the tailgate the day of the game. That includes food, which
           is often prepared at home and then cooked on-site. This recipe for “Ultimate Steak & Mushroom
           Sandwiches” from Laurie McNamara’s “Simply Scratch” (Avery) can be prepared at home and
           then put together at the stadium lot. These delicious sandwiches can be easily cut into small
           pieces and served as slider-type appetizers.

Notable plays in recent
 Super Bowl history
A   s the annual championship game
    of the National Football League,
the Super Bowl is one of the world’s
most watched events every year.
And for good reason, as the game is
never short on dramatic moments.
  The following are a handful of the many
notable plays in the recent history of the
Super Bowl.
  • Malcolm Butler’s interception, Super
Bowl XLIX, February 1, 2015: An epic battle
between the reigning Super Bowl champion
Seattle Seahawks and the New England
Patriots effectively ended when one of the
most questionable play calls in NFL history
resulted in a goal-line interception by Pa-
triots cornerback Malcolm Butler. With just
26 seconds to go and trailing 28-24, Seattle
decided to pass the ball from New England’s
1-yard line. The more conventional play
call would have been to hand the ball off to
running back Marshawn Lynch, who had
already scored a touchdown and run for
more than 100 yards in the game. But Seat-
tle chose to pass, and Russell Wilson’s throw
was intercepted, resulting in the Patriots
winning their first Super Bowl in a decade.      feat of the season.                               • James White’s touchdown run, Super
