[sdfsdf]

The and will face off this Sunday in Super Bowl LIV, and it figures to be a great matchup between a high-scoring offense and a stout defense. The 49ers are back in the big game for the first time since 2013, but are looking for their first Super Bowl victory since 1995. As for the Chiefs, they haven’t been to the Super Bowl since 1970, when they defeated the , 23-7, in Super Bowl IV. Both of these franchises have had their moments when it comes to NFL history. The 49ers found succe s with legends like Jerry Rice, Ronnie Lott and Steve Young, while the Chiefs’ legendary late owner, Lamar Hunt, actually coined the word “Super Bowl.” As we inch closer to Sunday, let’s take a look at some of the players who spent time both in Kansas City and San Francisco during their careers. While this list is subject to debate, here are my top five players who have played for both the Chiefs and the 49ers: 1 Thanasis Antetokounmpo Jersey . Joe Montana, QB This one is pretty easy. The best player who played for both the 49ers and the Chiefs was Montana. The 49ers’ third-round pick in the 1979 NFL Draft was a four-time Super Bowl champion, a three-time Super-Bowl MVP, a three-time First-team All-Pro and a two-time NFL MVP. In 13 years with the 49ers, Montana pa sed for 35,124 yards, 244 touchdowns and 123 interceptions, and led San Francisco to Super Bowl wins in 1982, 1985, 1989 and 1990. He had a bit of an awkward departure from San Francisco with the emergence of Young, but he was traded to the Chiefs, and made the last of his eight Pro Bowl appearances during his first season in Kansas City in 1993. Montana spent two seasons with the Chiefs before announcing his retirement in 1995, and won 17 out of 25 games he started. While Montana is a 49er at heart, he has always spoken fondly about Arrowhead Stadium and the fans in Kansas City. Super Bowl LIV has been nicknamed the “Joe Montana Bowl,” and for good reason. The Hall of Famer was one of the most clutch quarterbacks of all time, and one of the best NFL players of all time. Period. 2. Alex Smith, QB The No. 1 overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft was regarded as a bust early on in his career, but that was due to bad rosters, offensive coordinator/coaching turnover and injuries. He didn’t register a winning season as a Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Jersey starter with the 49ers until 2011, which was just the second year he was able to start all 16 games. Smith threw for 3,144 yards, 17 touchdowns and five interceptions, and led the 49ers to a divisional round win over the , where he accounted for four total touchdowns. The 49ers were defeated by the in overtime in the NFC Championship game. The 49ers extended Smith prior to the 2012 season, and he led San Francisco to a 6-2-1 record before he suffered a concu sion against the St. Louis . In stepped , who took the 49ers to the Super Bowl. The 49ers then traded Smith to the Chiefs that offseason. Smith would lead the Chiefs to an 11-4 record in 2013, Kyle Korver Jersey and they would lose to the in the AFC Championship game. His threw for 3,313 yards, 23 touchdowns and just seven interceptions that season, which was good enough for his first Pro Bowl trip. Sadly, just like what happened in San Francisco, the 49ers opted to move on from Smith for after the 2017 season. It wasn’t his fault, as Smith pa sed for a career-high 4,042 yards, 26 touchdowns and just five interceptions in his last season in Kansas City, but the Chiefs were just ready to roll with Mahomes. Clearly, that ended up being the right decision. Smith went 38-36-1 as a starter in San Francisco and 50-26 in Kansas City. It took some time, but Smith developed into a legitimate starting NFL quarterback. 3. Steve Bono, QB Bono spent time with the Vikings and to begin his career, but signed with the 49ers for the 1989 season and served as Montana and Young’s backup. He started six games in 1991 when both of San Francisco’s top two quarterbacks went down with injuries, and won five of them. In 1994, he was traded to the Chiefs, where he again served as Montana’s backup before given the starting duties when Montana retired in 1995. The Chiefs went 13-3 with Bono at the helm, and he threw for 3,121 yards, 21 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his first full season as a starter. His performance earned him his first trip to the Pro Bowl, and Bono was also named the AFC Player of the Year. While Bono played well, he benefitted from having running back and four other Pro Bowlers on the defensive side of the ball. Bono finished his career in Kansas City with a 21-10 record as a starter, and threw for 6,489 yards, 37 touchdowns and 27 interceptions. He went on to play for the , Rams and before retiring after the 1999 season. 4. , DE The former Chief is wrapping up his first season with the 49ers, and he will face off against his former team in the Super Bowl. Ford was drafted by the Chiefs in the first round of the 2014 NFL Draft, but had to wait until Nik Stauskas Jersey his second year to record his first start due to the talent Kansas City had at pa s rusher. In his third season, Ford recorded 38 combined tackles and 10 sacks in 14 starts. It appeared he had officially arrived, but a back injury forced him to mi s most of the 2017 season. In 2018, however, he put up career numbers all acro s the board, making 55 combined tackles and 13 sacks. The Chiefs were ousted from the postseason by the in overtime of the AFC Championship Game, and unfortunately, some Chiefs fans blame him as the reason Kansas City failed to advance to Super Bowl LIII last year. With under a minute to go in regulation, the Chiefs held a four-point lead, but the Patriots were driving in enemy territory. Ford was then called for an offsides penalty on a play where intercepted a pa s. Po se sion was given back to the Patriots, who scored a touchdown to take a three-point lead. Mahomes was able to orchestrate a quick drive to send the game to overtime, but if Ward’s interception stood, it’s likely the Chiefs would have won the game in regulation. The Chiefs placed the franchise tag on Ford last offseason, but then traded him to the 49ers in exchange for a second-round pick just le s than two weeks later. Ford played in 11 games this season and made 14 combined tackles and 6.5 sacks. He will get a chance to enact some revenge on his former team this Sunday. 5. Steve DeBerg, QB DeBerg was the first quarterback Bill Walsh threw into his West Coast Offense back in 1979. He spent three years with the 49ers and recorded just seven wins in 35 starts. His stats were ugly, as he threw 37 touchdowns and 60 interceptions with the 49ers, but it George Hill Jersey wasn’t all his fault. He had to lead some terrible teams during his time in San Francisco. He also served as a mentor to Montana, who found succe s with Walsh after DeBerg moved on. After stints with the and , he was traded to the Chiefs and led them to two playoff berths. He went 31-20-1 as a starter with the Chiefs, including when he went 11-5 in 1990 and 10-5 in 1991. DeBerg was someone who seemingly upped h
