1st and 10 from the KC 30. AS English will be with you all day long providing live coverage, stats, highlights and analysis from today’s headline match up from the Bay Area. KC led 20-17 in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, but Josh Allen led and the Bills took the lead on a 14 yard pass to Dawson Knox with 1:04 to go in the game. The Niners couldn’t keep up with Marcus Mariota and the RPO offense as Marcus Mariota went 13/14 with two TDs, and ATL run game went for 168 yards on San Fran’s D. The Chiefs are the top scoring team in the league with 29.8 ppg, and their 382 yards per game is sixth best in the league. Kittle has just 19 receptions for 182 yards while Kelce has 455 yards and seven touchdowns on the years. San Fran made a statement with the trade, and that statement is “We are ready to win, and win now.” An offense with Deebo Samuel will get even more dynamic with one of the best dual threat running backs in the NFL. 34 yard gain on 2nd and long. It's been fun so far, and it's setting up for a photo finish in San Fran. Garoppolo to Wilson out of the back field and he was wide open, but dropped it. This was his first of two TDs on the Jet Sweep. After the big return to start the third quarter, Edwards-Helaire takes it 15 yards for the TD.

Christian McCaffrey made his sharp-looking debut with his new squad, helping Jimmy Garoppolo and Co. take an early advantage. But Patrick Mahomes proved the ...
The Chiefs (5-2) will rest up on their bye week before returning for a prime-time Nov. L'Jarius Sneed played with confidence on the outside, getting to Garoppolo on a blitz and nearly logging a pick as well. DeMeco Ryans' defense made noise early in the showdown, with Talanoa Hufanga intercepting Mahomes to help San Francisco go on a 10-0 run out of the gate. The Chiefs scored a combined 30 points in the second half alone, however, with JuJu Smith-Schuster and Travis Kelce serving as reliable outlets for No. He goes in basically untouched the rest of the way, taking it 45 yards for the score to give Kansas City a 44-23 advantage. The Chiefs handled their business against the 49ers in Super Bowl LIV.
– Christian McCaffrey makes his 49ers debut on the third offensive snap. San Francisco went with an RPO. Jimmy Garoppolo kept it and threw it too high for ...
– Dre Greenlaw is out with a calf injury. – Mike McGlinchey is having the worst game of his career. That’s how the half will end, and it’s a huge break for the 49ers. – McCaffrey’s first catch is a screen to open the second quarter. The 49ers lined up for a 51-yard field goal, but a false start pushed them back out of field goal range and they’ll have to punt. – And then a deep shot to Kittle connects for 34 yards. A Chiefs touchdown here at the end of the half could be the ball game. The 49ers defense is getting shredded on the ground for the second consecutive week. – What a disaster. The 49ers lost him on a third-and-1 and he rumbled for 27 yards. Huge play early in this one and the 49ers now-healthy defense gets a stop. Tashaun Gipson drove on a throw over the middle and tipped it up for Talanoa Hufanga’s third interception of the year.
This game got out of hand pretty quickly. The Chiefs scored 30 points in the second half against the 49ers.
This is the first time where it felt like Ryans was outcoached. That was the story of the game for the defense. It’s one thing to let the other team’s best player to have a big day. For reference, the 49ers led the league with the fewest yards per play allowed at 4.2 and a success rate of 38.9%. Kansas City had a whopping 9.7 yards per play, had a 59% success rate, and gained a first down on 43% of their plays before the final garbage time drive. Mahomes was surgical all afternoon, but especially through the air.
