Madden NFL 24 Super Bowl simulation 49ers outlast Chiefs as former Kansas City player wins MVP

We are just hours away from LVIII and the anticipation for this big game between the and from Las Vegas is ramping up to historic levels. ' team seeks to win its third title in the last five years, while the 49ers eye revenge on K.C. for their lo s in LIV and look to claim the franchise's first championship since 1994.As we sit here waiting for that game to kick off, let's get our football fix in by dipping into the virtual world in the form of CBS Sports' annual Madden 24 Super Bowl simulation. If you've followed us over the last few years, you've come to know that these simulations are not to be slept on. Over the past three Super Bowls, picking the Chiefs, and when the dust settled.This summer, we also conducted and . While some oddities didn't come to fruition Akiem Hicks Jersey (the making the playoffs?!?), that simulation did get several things eerily correct. That included the upsetting the in the playoffs, Chase Daniel Jersey the being one-and-done in the postseason, and the Chiefs reaching the Super Bowl.However, this is where that simulation and this latest -- and I'd argue official -- Super Bowl simulation differ. While Kansas City was hoisting the Lombardi Trophy at the end of that initial simulation of the entire year, this newest one has the San Francisco 49ers winning it all in a 10-6 grudge match in Las Vegas. The Niners got the ball to begin the game and drove down the field until connected with wideout for an 18-yard touchdown, which ultimately proved to be the only time we'd see either of these offenses get into the end zone in this matchup.For Kansas City, it was rough-sledding offensively against this 49ers defense throughout the game. Even as the Chiefs moved into the red zone on their first po se sion, the Niners clamped down to force a field goal to make it a 7-3 game. nearly picked off Mahomes in the end zone on second down.Then, batted down a pa s short of the goal-line to force the field goal attempt. Those two drives chewed up a majority of the clock in the first half, but San Francisco did Bobby Massie Jersey have enough time to run a two-minute drill before the half to set up a 38-yard field goal by Jake Moody to make it a 10-3 lead going into halftime.Coming out for the third quarter, the Chiefs took po se sion and, for a moment, looked like they were going to turn a corner and knot this game up at 10 apiece. They quickly moved down the field into 49ers territory, but ultimately saw the drive sputter out, leading to a 49-yard field goal but Butker. With it now sitting as a 10-6 game, Kansas City desperately needed a stop from its defense and it looked like they were going to get a quick three-and-out as the 49ers faced a third-and-10 situation. It was at that point, however, that Purdy made one of his most clutch throws of the night, connecting with for a 30-yard gain.That reception helped San Francisco bleed the clock through the end of the quarter. To begin the fourth, a mi sed 57-yard field goal attempt by kept it a mere four-point lead for the Niners. The Chiefs couldn't capitalize on that miscue as they went three-and-out on their next po se sion. That following drive by San Francisco forced Andy Reid to burn all of his timeouts, but his defense was able to get a stop and the ball back with a Taylor Gabriel Jersey chance to win it. With 1:43 remaining in regulation, no timeouts, and trailing by just four points, Mahomes and the Cheifs offense got the ball back at their 23-yard line with a chance to win the title with a touchdown. While we've seen Mahomes dazzle in this setting time after time, this wasn't one of those situations. , who was acquired by the 49ers at the deadline this season, came up with a monumental sack to set up third-and-20 and keep the clock ticking.On the very next play, Mahomes threw up a deep shot down the right sideline which was picked off by his former Chiefs teammate and current 49ers corner , which iced the victory for San Francisco and led Ward to win Super Bowl MVP.After a kneeldown by Purdy, the San Francisco 49ers were able to win Super Bowl LVIII, 10-6.
