George Kittle is ready and his teammates are pumped for an emotional matchup against the team that has owned the 49ers recently, the Kansas City Chiefs.
Can the Niners finally climb the mountain? To get the win, they will need to play their best game of the year and overcome the recent history of coaching dominance by the Chiefs.Job no. 1 is handling the simulated pressure and blitz packages that Steve Spagnuolo sends at Kyle Shanahan’s offense. Nine unblocked pass rushers on blitzes were a key part of Kansas City winning the Super Bowl.
The Niners will have to go strength on strength in the run game to control the clock. Jordan Mason will play, but not at 100% with the bad shoulder, so they will have to monitor carries and give some of the load to Isaac Guerendo and Deebo Samuel. The Chiefs do have one weakness, 31st in tight end yards against. Kittle must be targeted, so Purdy will need time to throw.Jones has been a Niner killer in the past. Puni is the best Niner guard he’s faced. Spagnuolo likes to move Jones outside for passing downs on 3rd and that’s when the Chiefs are unpredictable and dangerous.The Niners need to solve their red zone issues and will look for Kittle.
Isiah Pacheco is out, Rashee Rice is gone, Andy Reid will need to reach deep into his bag of tricks. He has speedster Xavier Worthy, running back Kareem Hunt, and future Hall of Famer Travis Kelce. And Mahomes.
