I voted Chiefs WIN in an easy win (8-14 points), but the game will be close until mid-way into the 4th quarter.
Game stays close, KC's D keeps the 49ers offense in check but does give up 2 big plays, thinking a McCaffrey screen for 30 yards or Aiyuk gets a chunk on a pass play. Other than that, the 49ers are kept in check.
At about 7:30 left in the 4th, Rice scores on a 12 yard hitch and dices up the 49er D for a score. KC's pass rush takes over and sacks Purdy for a 8 - 12 yard loss on a key 3rd down.
On the next drive, Rice scores again on a play action pass, putting KC up 2 scores.
In desperation, Reid picks Purdy to ice the game, KC kicks a late FG to seal it.
Final Score; KC 38 - 49ers 17
Red & Yellow Confetti rains down
MVP; Rice 8 catches for 148 yards, 2 TDs
