I mean, for ****’s sake.
Yes, the 49ers have a DL/pass rush that could potentially give KC some trouble with pressure and force the ball out quickly. That’s 1/2 the formula teams that have slowed the Chiefs have used.
But the other half of that formula is playing right man coverage to prevent Mahomes from getting the ball out quickly. The 49ers don’t have the CB to do that.
Quick pressure with zone coverage behind it won’t work. Reid is too good, Mahomes is too decisive.

Payton and Brees didn't seem to have too much trouble. I didn't see the game, so can't comment on the Saints game-plan, but the 49ers sure didn't slow the Saints down.
