One thing you have to applaud the Niners for was simply how disciplined they were against Mahomes. Mahomes absolutely burns teams when they do try to cheat when they're against him - but the 49ers, for most of the game, weren't biting.
It makes it sweeter than Mahomes did notice that Ward for the Niners was cheating and convinced Andy to call a play on 3rd and 15 that directly exploited that. Even if a D plays better than any other team has ever played against Mahomes, they'll still need to put up 31+, which should be terrifying to GM's everywhere.
