The 49ers pass defense is vulnerable. I feel like they are similar to the Titans in that respect, but obviously they can generate a pass rush with just their front four, whereas the Titans had a difficult time with that. The 49ers have allowed elite receivers to go off on them - it doesn't seem like they're able to scheme away a team's top receiving threat. Julio Jones had 13 catches for 134 yards and 2 TDs. Michael Thomas had 11 catches for 134 yards and 1 TD. Davante Adams just went for 9 catches and 138 yards. With all of the weapons the Chiefs have, the 49er's defensive backs are going to have a really tough time if that pass rush isn't applying pressure quickly.
