The Kansas City Chiefs emerged victorious over the San Francisco 49ers in a 28-18 win that showcased Kansas City's adaptability and resilience. After a tentative start that saw both teams struggling offensively, 49ers kicker Anders Carlson broke the deadlock with a 55-yard field goal. Kansas City took control in the second quarter with Kareem Hunt scoring two rushing touchdowns, marking his sixth career multi-touchdown game. The Chiefs' defense, led by pivotal interceptions from Justin Reid and rookie Jaden Hicks, capitalized on San Francisco's miscues to maintain the upper hand.
San Francisco suffered from key injuries, losing Brandon Aiyuk and other top receivers, culminating in missed opportunities and turnovers. Brock Purdy's third-quarter rushing touchdown briefly narrowed the gap, but a failed extra point and subsequent interceptions limited their comeback efforts. Patrick Mahomes’ dynamic fourth-quarter rushing touchdown and Mecole Hardman's decisive 18-yard run underscored the Chiefs' dominance. Despite a late touchdown by San Francisco, Kansas City held firm, improving to 6-0, solidifying their status as the league's only undefeated team in a season defined by team collaboration rather than individual brilliance.
