The game was 7-7 when I started watching in the 2nd quarter.
KC’s O-Line combined with Mahomes’ scrambling was giving him plenty of time to work. But KC couldn’t catch a pass when they needed it.
Philly’s run game is dangerous with Swift and Hurts posing a threat. But if you can get pressure on Hurts, they look very beatable in the passing game.
Both defenses looked good, but KC looked better. But neither looked dominants. Although KC was able to get after Hurts and kept him somewhat contained.
I think the key for the Niners is going to be our Defense beating Philly on the line and containing the run game, and not giving Hurts time to get a passing attack going. And then avoiding 3rd and short and 4th and short. I like the Niners offense against Philly’s D.
As far as MNF, I think KC would have run away with the game if they would have caught some of those passes.
Unpopular opinion: it’s going to be a tough game. Niners will have to be perfect. If niners win with no casualties, that’s a hell of a momentum shift. Plus they just got a huge boost winning their Super Bowl round 2. It’s going to be really close or a shutout in the direction we don’t want it.
