The Vikings, Packers, and Seahawks are all run-first NFC teams. The 49ers made those teams uncomfortable by taking away the running game. The Chiefs really don't care about running the ball. We don't look to "establish the run" - we just use it situationally and occasionally to keep teams honest if all they are doing is rushing the passer. I could see the 49ers taking away our longer developing routes on several plays because their pass rush is so good that those routes won't have time to develop. But I have to think our screen game and short passing game is going stress that defense either way. Might be a big YAC type of game for our offense. Quick slants over the middle to Hill, Watkins, Hardman are going to be tough to defend.
