Chiefs Vs 49ers week 1 preseason:

August 11, 2017-

Football is back! For the Chiefs it will be an interesting season. Our season Outlook has already been posted and you can see in detail the whole season, so this will just focus on the 49ers game. We get to see Patrick Mahomes II for the first time. Andy Reid said the Alex Smith is QB1 but the team did trade up to get Mahomes. With Spencer Ware already on the IR, how will the Toledo rookie fair in the NFL, or will a veteran like Spiller or West take the job. For the 49ers, we will see Hoyer in a competition with rookie, Beathard. Elvis Dumervil and #3 overall pick Solomon Thomas will run the D-Line. Rookie Linebacker, Reuben Foster fell to the 49ers where many thought he was a top 10 talent. They have an young secondary so it could be a good game for the air attack of the Chiefs.




28-3 blow out: The Chiefs lost and looked ugly in the game. The niners had 2 pick six, which added to their 4 takeaways. The Chiefs defense looked average. Gave up 315 yards (117 rushing, 198 passing) but only gave up 1 touchdown. They also had 3 takeaways. The Chiefs had 258 yards but had the ball for 10 minutes less than the 49ers.
