The Chiefs in that time played LA(Chargers), Bye Week, Oakland, New England, Denver, Chicago, LA(Chargers).
Which list of offenses would you rather face?
I'm sure the Chiefs had some key injuries as well, I don't know for sure, but the 49ers were missing 3 of their top defenders for most of that stretch, all of which are back now.
Again, not bashing the Chiefs defense at all, but cherry picking the Week 11 stats just doesn't make sense to me is all.

Yea which is clearly shown in the difference in PPG. Nobody is saying the Chiefs defense is better, it’s just a lot closer than people that don’t watch the Chiefs enough to know how much the defense has improved think.
Also, if you want to start talking about schedules and injuries, the Chiefs have had a MUCH tougher road during the season/playoffs dealing with MUCH worse injuries.
