QR Bonus: Keys to Beating San Francisco

Last week, we looked at the worst games that Kansas City played this year, searching for weaknesses that might cost the Chiefs a Lombardi Trophy. Today, we're going to do the same for Kansas City's Super Bowl opponents, the San Francisco 49ers.

By DVOA, San Francisco's worst games this season (with an asterisk) were, in chronological order:

  • Week 9: San Francisco 49ers 28 at Arizona Cardinals 25. The 49ers were undefeated at 8-0 heading into a Thursday night game on Halloween in the desert. Jimmy Garoppolo's 21-yard touchdown pass to Dante Pettis put San Francisco up 28-14 in the third quarter, but the Cardinals rallied with 10 points in the fourth.
