The Kansas City Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday at 4:25 PM ET at Levi’s Stadium. Both teams couldn’t have started the season differently. The Chiefs are 5-0 while the 49ers sit at 3-3.
Despite the differences in their records, the two teams have one glaring similarity. They both have been riddled with injuries. For the Chiefs, they have already lost Isiah Pacheco and Rashee Rice to the IR and WR Hollywood Brown has yet to step on the field.
The most significant injury the 49ers have faced so far this season comes from last year’s Offensive Player of the Year, Christian McCaffery.
These two teams last met in the Super Bowl in 2020, where the Chiefs emerged victorious. Historically, this matchup has been closely contested, with the Chiefs holding a 6-5 advantage over the 49ers.
