This is going to be the most disappointing thing for the 49ers in this game in a long list of disappointments. There is this idea that it’s a given you will get to Mahomes but he was sacked the fourth lowest on percentage of passing attempts this season at just 4.15%.
Conversely, the Chiefs are very similar to the 49ers with our quality of pass rush. The 49ers offensive line gave up sacks on 7.17% of passing attempts. That’s especially not good for them when a lot of our pressure comes right up the middle against a fumble prone QB.
Garrapolo was sacked 39 times and fumbled the ball ten times. Mahomes was sacked just 19 times with five fumbles. Everything points to the pass rush being a much larger problem for the 49ers offense than it will be for the Chiefs offense.
You are going to see a lot of Mahomes maneuvering in and out of the pocket and making huge plays that leave defenders with the defeated looks in their body language.
