On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs showed grit and resilience to extend their undefeated streak to six games to start the season with their 28-18 victory. The San Francisco 49ers were held in check offensively throughout the game by Steve Spagnuolo’s defense. Kansas City also overcame two interceptions from Patrick Mahomes.
Wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster’s early hamstring injury knocked him out of the game, forcing Mahomes to get creative with his targets. Kareem Hunt reached the end zone twice, and Xavier Worthy spent the day as the top receiver option. Travis Kelce didn’t have a big production game, but he made a difference with his presence, opening up more for receivers.
The defense kept one of the league’s best running backs this season to minimum effectiveness throughout the day. Brock Purdy struggled with pressure, forcing three interceptions.
An all-around performance from the Chiefs after being forced to dig deeper into their depth chart at wide receiver and in the secondary. They look to remain undefeated next week on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 8.
