While Brock Purdy didn’t have his best performance through the air on Sunday, neither did Patrick Mahomes. The 49ers defense held Mahomes in check for the most part of the game, even securing a pair of interceptions off of the former MVP.
Mahomes finished with only 154 yards passing on 16-of-27 with two interceptions. Yet, the 49ers’ defense couldn’t figure out the Chiefs’ rushing attack led by veteran Kareem Hunt.
The Chiefs rushed for 178 yards with four rushing touchdowns on Sunday, led by Hunt with 78 yards on 22 carries with two touchdowns. Mahomes rushed for 39 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Mecole Hardman added 38 yards on the ground and a touchdown on a pair of rushes.
Kansas City’s 178 yards on the ground was the highest rushing total the 49ers’ defense has allowed this season. Prior to Sunday, the 49ers only allowed over 100 rushing yard twice during the 2024 season.
