Defensive backs for the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers could end up being the difference-makers in Super Bowl LIV.

Patrick Mahomes and Jimmy Garoppolo both led offensive powerhouses who could end up throwing the ball more than 40 times in the game. It will be up to the passing defenses to put a stop on whatever momentum the offenses gain in the game.

Kansas City boasts an intense secondary led by Tyrann Mathieu, but lost Juan Thornhill for the rest of the season when he tore his ACL. Richard Sherman led the 49ers in interceptions during the 2019 season and had a pick against the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship game to seal the game.

Several players have recorded two interceptions in a Super Bowl including, Randy Beverly, Barry Wilburn, Brad Edwards, Thomas Everett, Larry Brown, Darrien Gordon and Dwight Smith. The others are listed below.

Only one has had three interceptions – a Super Bowl single-game record.
