Fred Warner is great. But other than that, the back 7 is not configured to handle or slow down Patrick Mahomes with any consistency.
If the Chiefs play one more clean game and the D is able to confuse Purdy and Shanahan like I think it is going to, I think it's a more comfortable win than the one we saw today.

This is pretty accurate. 49ers have a lot of money in the D-line but it isn't very good. Warner is ...inconsistent. He's been taking wrong holes a lot lately. Losing Hufanga early in the season really hurt them. Brown is doing decently, but he's a big step down. Greenlaw is better than most know though.
