The most important part of the Chiefs’ offense that the 49ers’ defense must stop

The stage is set for San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel to have a monster game against the Kansas City Chiefs and a defense that struggles to defend No. 2 wide receivers.

Let’s switch gears and talk about one facet when the Niners are on defense. Steve Wilks called Patrick Mahomes “the best I’ve ever seen for just buying time, winning with his feet, and getting the ball where it needs to go down the field.”

Any Mahomes superlative is justified. But the discussion about this side of the ball has been simplified to the quarterback, a poor Niners run defense, and that’ll equal points for the Chiefs.
