I wonder who is going to coverage Kittles? Mathieu?
If we commit Mathieu to Kittles then we lose his freewheeling that has helped us so much.

I don’t think the 49ers have significant advantages along the line.
The Chiefs have a better pass protection OL and top 3 in the league. They’ve only allowed 25 sacks despite having injuries almost all year and allow sacks at a very low rate. Our run blocking kinda sucks, but that doesn’t really matter in our offense.
Our DL isn’t all that far behind theirs. Jones and Clark are both top 3 at their positions. Nnadi, Pennel, Saunders, and Kpassagnon are all good players too. They’ll also be facing a worse pass protection OL and a less mobile QB.
