C'mon - this is NOTHING like the Texans or Titans games. Those defenses were drawing dead. The 49ers front 4 most assuredly isn't. It'll be the best DL we've played this year, Ravens and Patriots included.
The biggest thing to point out on the 49ers is that they are a heavy zone team in the secondary and you just cannot play zone against this team. Mahomes will dissect it. The Niners benched their CB2 and their CB1 has absolutely no prayer of hanging in man against any of our WRs. They know they'll have to disguise looks and hope to fool Mahomes w/ some sort of exotic zone looks.
But I don't see it happening. Kid's seeing the game in slow-motion right now and I don't see anyone fooling him.

JJ Watt! That is all the media talked about. They were sure he was going to dominate. Instead, he was gassed. The point was- our running game has been carving them up when it counts. The jet sweeps have been huge, plus they have to account for Mahomes burning them with his legs now.
49ers will get some pressure with their front for, but I don't think they can cover Hill deep or will have an answer for Kelce gutting them in the middle. Our Oline has been playing out of their minds as well.
How are they going to counter Williams catching passes out of the backfield? You can't sleep on this guy at all. They try to blitz, Mahomes will dump off to Williams, who can take it to the house.
The last 2 Defensive Coordinators retired after facing us- I have serious doubts the 49ers are going to shut us down.
