Patrick Mahomes is the favorite to win Super Bowl MVP. He won the NFL MVP award last year and he has played his best football the last two weeks, throwing eight touchdowns and zero interceptions. If the Chiefs roll past the 49ers, Mahomes will be all over TV screens the next few days after the Super Bowl.

Travis Kelce is Mahomes' favorite target as he caught 97 passes for 1,229 yards and five touchdowns this season. He's one of those guys who could be double-teamed and still make the big play. The 49ers will have their hands full with him.

If there's one Chiefs defensive player who could win the MVP award, Frank Clark would be the guy. The Pro Bowl defensive end recorded eight sacks this season and he tallied four sacks in the two playoff games.

Two words that electrified the @49ers faithful in 2019: George 👏 Kittle 👏

George Kittle is the 49ers most dangerous weapon on offense. He finished the year with 85 receptions for 1,053 yards and five touchdowns and like Kelce, Kittle is hard to defend even if he's double-teamed.
prevnext49ers RB Raheem Mostert
After being cut by 6 teams, @RMos_8Ball has had quite the journey in the league.
Mostert had to step up for the @49ers in the Championship game, and in doing so he broke franchise playoff records. #TurningPoint: GB vs SF pic.twitter.com/OvE3VRhAxf

Raheem Mostert has all the confidence in the world after his performance in the NFC Championship game. In that contest against the Green Bay Packers, Mostert rushed for over 200 yards and four touchdowns. If the 49ers feed him, he could eat all game long.
prevnext49ers CB Richard Sherman
#49ers Richard Sherman has tons of motivation to play for on Sunday!
He’s been doubted all year by critics everywhere, tested for PEDs in the past two weeks, and will playing for his close friend Kobe Bryant.
I feel a huge game for Sherman on Sunday!

Richard Sherman won a Super Bowl when he was with the Seattle Seahawks in 2013. He knows what he needs to do and he's been playing at a high level as he picked off an Aaron Rodgers pass in the NFC title game two weeks ago. Sherman finished the 2019 season with three interceptions and was named to the Pro Bowl
