Forget Travis and Taylor... the only Kelce 関係 Dre Greenlaw cares about is with Patrick Mahomes - and the 49ers linebacker is DESPERATE to stop them in the 最高の Bowl

• e-mail

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw is a player who lives on the 辛勝する／優位.

A トン-setter on the 49ers' 弁護, Greenlaw's aggressiveness and extreme physicality can often draw the 怒らせる of 審判（をする）s.

However, he has taken no greater 危険 than the 決定／判定勝ち（する） he made 支援する in the divisional 一連の会議、交渉／完成する of the プレーオフs in San Francisco's 狭くする 敗北・負かす of the Green Bay Packers, when he 迎撃するd Jordan Love for the second time to 完全にする a 24-21 復帰.

He 供給するd his team with a 抱擁する 脅す in doing so, however, unnecessarily 殺到するing upfield and 試みる／企てるing to 避ける defenders in the final seconds in an 成果／努力 to 得点する／非難する／２０, 危険ing a fumble that would have given the Packers another 発射.

'I think he's glad that it ended the way it did and I don't think he'll ever make that mistake again,' 長，率いる coach Kyle Shanahan said a day after the game. 'We didn't get on him too hard, but he could tell how big of a 取引，協定 it was after.

'We're very appreciative he made the play, but stuff can flip very 急速な／放蕩な and you can 廃虚 some of the best plays ever if you give a team any more of a chance. The way that game was going, we didn't need to give them any more chances. So, I think he learned his lesson. Hopefully we'll never have to を取り引きする that again.'

But Shanahan and the Niners have since had to を取り引きする 意味ありげに more 強調する／ストレス, with their postseason （選挙などの）運動をする taking 演劇 to new 高さs in last Sunday's NFC 選手権 Game with the Detroit Lions.

The 49ers fell 24-7 behind in a 素晴らしい first half, only to produce a remarkable second-half 復帰 that tied the 記録，記録的な／記録する for the NFC 肩書を与える game 始める，決める by San Francisco 支援する in the 2012 season. The Niners 得点する／非難する／２０d 27 unanswered points en 大勝する to an incredible 34-31 勝利，勝つ, a 弁護 that was shredded in the first half stepping up with a 一連の 抱擁する stops to help 安全な・保証する the victory.

Their high-wire postseason has 具体的に表現するd the spirit in which Greenlaw plays the game. San Francisco spent the entire NFC プレーオフs living on the 辛勝する／優位. Now, after 解除するing the George Halas トロフィー and watching the confetti 落ちる 負かす／撃墜する on their home stadium, they have the chance to 勝利，勝つ the one that really counts in a 最高の Bowl 58 rematch with the Kansas City 長，指導者s.

Greenlaw is one of only eight players on the active roster who played in 最高の Bowl 54 four years ago, when the 長，指導者s overturned a 10-point 赤字 in the final seven minutes of the fourth ４半期/4分の1 to break the 49ers' hearts.

Greenlaw is 準備するing for Sunday's 抱擁する 最高の Bowl 対決 vs the 長，指導者s in Las Vegas

As they 新たにする 知識s with Patrick Mahomes and Co, he and fellow linebacker Fred Warner, who had an interception in that 最高の Bowl, will be 批判的な to the 49ers' hopes of get ting 復讐.

All-プロの／賛成の Warner, considered the best linebacker in the game, and Greenlaw do an excellent 職業 of taking the middle of the field away from …に反対するing 罪／違反s. Against Detroit, however, they struggled to do so for much of the contest, and will need to return to their usual form when 直面するing a 長，指導者s attack that is not as 爆発性の as in 最近の years but leans ひどく on attacking the middle with tight end Travis Kelce.

While Kelce has predominantly 直面するd questions about his 関係 with Taylor Swift during the 蜂の巣 of activity that is 最高の Bowl week, the only 関心 for San Francisco's 弁護 will be how to stop the Mahomes-Kelce 関係, which looked 新たにするd in their AFC 選手権 Game 勝利，勝つ over the Baltimore Ravens. Kelce caught all 11 of his 的s from Mahomes for 126 yards and a touchdown.

The answer will undoubtedly 伴う／関わる Warner and Greenlaw. Warner is not only the 声の leader of the 弁護, but he also serves as the 注目する，もくろむ in the sky, showing an innate ability to read 弁護s, make 調整s and put himself and others in the 権利 place to take away throwing 小道／航路s for quarterbacks.?

Much of the attention on Kelce this week has 伴う／関わるd his love life - but that changes Sunday

With both Warner and Greenlaw each 誇るing a mix of 認識／意識性 and athleticism few at their position can match, they are a 二人組 that 拡大するs 選択s for a 防御の play-報知係 and takes them away for 罪／違反s.

Speaking 排他的に to DailyMail.com, 防御の end Randy Gregory said of their versatility: 'Having linebackers that can pretty much do everything, cover guys, blitz, makes everyone's 職業 on 弁護 a lot easier and a lot more fun, a lot of different 一括s you can do.'

While the 49ers 明白に will not need 動機づけ for the biggest game in US sports, the tenacity that both Greenlaw and Warner 陳列する，発揮する on the field will surely be a 運動ing 軍隊 as San Francisco looks to rise to the challenge of 敗北・負かすing Mahomes on his favorite 行う／開催する／段階.

'They're going to come out and be themselves every game, every minute of every 負かす／撃墜する,' cornerback Deommod 鉱石 Lenoir said when asked about their intensity. 'Playing next to them 動機づけるs me as a person, as a player really just to bring that 解雇する／砲火／射撃 and that intensity to just uplift the whole 弁護.'

草案ing Warner and Greenlaw in 連続する years (2018 and 2019) continued the 49ers' strong 跡をつける 記録，記録的な／記録する in 明らかにするing 最高の，を越す-tier talents at linebacker, the pair 受託するing the たいまつ from San Francisco's previous エリート 二人組 at the position, Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman, who patrolled the middle together for the Niners from 2010 to 2014.

Willis, a finalist for the Hall of Fame this year, could hardly be more impressed with how Warner and Greenlaw have carried the baton, believing they have taken what he and Bowman did to another level.

'The next 世代 that comes after you and after you,' he told talkSPORT. 'It's about taking what was there before you and making it your own and making it that much better. And I feel like Dre and Fred are doing that and they're a joy to see so I'm やじ for them to go get it done this year.'

Greenlaw, though, doesn't believe he and Warner have やめる reached that level.

'It's a 広大な／多数の／重要な 栄誉（を受ける） just to be able to play for the team that they [Willis and Bowman] played for and for people to see the comparison,' he said 排他的に. 'I know we got far away to go to reach the 基準 that they 始める，決める, be the best in the world.?

'We're working every day for people to 認める that we're a really 広大な／多数の／重要な 二人組 just like them. We're not as 広大な／多数の／重要な as them or nothing like that. It's an unbelievable feeling, the 感謝 for Fred really just for 存在 a leader and helping me out, playing beside him and run on the field with him.'

Willis and Bowman were never やめる able to get it done with the 49ers, losing in the 最高の Bowl to the Baltimore Ravens in the 2012 season before then 苦しむing 敗北・負かす in a classic NFC 選手権 Game with the Seattle Seahawks.

Greenlaw's heroics have helped put the 49ers in a position where they are a 勝利，勝つ away from a first 最高の Bowl 肩書を与える since 1994.

If he and Warner have an instrumental 衝撃 on a victory over the 長，指導者s, they would surely definitively 上がる above Willis and Bowman in the 階級s of 広大な／多数の／重要な 49er linebackers.

Greenlaw has shown 広大な／多数の／重要な foresight in the postseason, 予報するing he would get a second interception during an 交流 with linebacker coach Johnny Holland during the Packers game.

After the game, he 表明するd his belief more game-changing plays are on the horizon.

'I feel like I'm 予定 for another one too,' Greenlaw said.

In this most 劇の of postseason runs, who would dare bet against one of the main heroes of the 49ers' 最新の 殺到する to the 最高の Bowl 配達するing the 肩書を与える-winning moment?
