Super Bowl 58: The β€˜fiery’ speech which sparked 49ers’ comeback & the 'Taylor Swift effect'

The line-up for Super Bowl 58 has been finalised - the reigning Super Bowl champions Kansas City Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas.

The 49ers were losing 7-24 to the Detroit Lions at half-time in their NFC Championship game, but they came back to win 34-31.

NFL journalist Melissa Jacobs speaks to Sport Today’s Maz Farookhi about the key moments which led to the turnaround – including a β€œfiery” speech from linebacker Fred Warner – and also what can be expected when the Super Bowl arrives in Las Vegas in February.
