The Niners have gone without winning a Super Bowl for a remarkably long time. In that context, Tom Brady was still a high school player in 1994, and Christian McCaffrey had not yet been born.
For McCaffrey, Brock Purdy and others from the 49ers lineup, winning the Super Bowl would mean a great deal. It would allow them to go down in history as the group of players that ended the team's protracted drought. This is particularly relevant regarding the 49ers have lost their last two Super Bowl games.
If they won another championship, the 49ers would equal the Pittsburgh Steelers and New England Patriots for the most Super Bowl trophies ever. Although neither team is proficient, the Niners have better odds of becoming the first team in history to win seven Super Bowls.
If the Chiefs won, they would tie the New York Giants and Green Bay Packers for fifth most championships all-time.
