This Sunday, the 49ers will face their toughest challenge yet as they go up against the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs. This will be the first time they meet since the Super Bowl back in February, where the Chiefs, led by the talented Patrick Mahomes, crushed the 49ers' hopes of becoming champions with a 25-22 victory in Las Vegas.
The Niners are coming into this game with a few extra days of rest, giving them some time to recover and heal from any lingering injuries. After their impressive win against Seattle last Thursday, some players such as Jordan Mason and Deebo Samuel were limited in practice due to injuries sustained during the game. On top of that, the team has also faced two kicker injuries in the past two weeks.
Just like the 49ers have been missing Christian McCaffrey, the Chiefs have been without their starting running back, Isiah Pacheco, for the entire season. Pacheco underwent leg surgery in September and is expected to return in six to eight weeks. Kansas City is also dealing with the absence of two wide receivers, Hollywood Brown and Rashee Rice, with Rice undergoing knee surgery just last week.
The Chiefs' offense has been a topic of discussion, ranked 15th in the league with an average of 23.6 points per game and 11th in yards with 354.6 per game. Mahomes, who has thrown for six touchdowns and six interceptions in five games, has faced some challenges in avoiding mistakes.
Stay tuned for updates on this highly anticipated game.
