We can use our coverage strengths better against SF than we could against Baltimore and Buffalo.
We're a great man coverage team. It's dangerous as hell to play man against either of those squads because the QB will run it on you. Purdy can run, but he ain't those guys.
So we can come out in simple man over coverage and play harder against the traditional run game.
The 49ers just don't match up against us as well as either of the two teams we just beat in their own barn.
Vegas be damned - the Chiefs SHOULD win this game. By 2 scores, IMO. Yes, the 49ers have better WRs but that's the strength of our defense. And the 49ers OL may have an elite LT, but they're not as strong elsewhere on the OL as Buffalo and Baltimore were. Their interior is nowhere near as good as those squads.
I don't see an area on the field where they win the matchup, IMO. And ultimately I trust our coaching staff to make any adjustments necessary to pull it out in the 2nd half far more than I do Shanahan and company.
