all the way to his left
Cheap San Francisco 49ers Hoodie , only to realize that just about everybody wearing a Chiefs helmet was on the opposite side of the field.It was a rookie
mistake by the second-year pro, one he turned into more early season
magic.Mahomes quickly reversed field against the pursuing San Francisco defense,
ran all the way to the other side and threw a dart to Chris Conley in the back
of the end zone. It was one of three TD passes he threw in a 38-27 victory over
the 49ers on Sunday — and easily the most impressive ."That," Chiefs coach Andy
Reid acknowledged with a smile, "was a good one."Mahomes finished with 314 yards
passing in his first regular-season start at Arrowhead Stadium, and his
touchdown throws to Conley, Demetrius Harris and Sammy Watkins gave him 13 this
season without an interception. That total broke the NFL record of 12 for the
first three weeks of a season, set by Peyton Manning during the 2013
campaign.More importantly, all those touchdown tosses have the Chiefs 3-0. They
are the third team to score at least 38 points in each of the first three games,
joining 2007 New England and the 1967 Baltimore Colts."We've got a bunch of
weapons," said Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt
Cheap Custom San Francisco 49ers Jerseys , who added his first two touchdown runs this season, "and Pat is just a competitor. I knew that from the day we
met, when we got drafted together. We said one day we were going to take over
the Chiefs Kingdom."The Chiefs have clearly found their long-term answer at
quarterback.The 49ers? They have a whole lot of questions now.Jimmy Garoppolo
left late in the fourth quarter after his left knee buckled during a scramble to
the sideline. He was crushed on his throwing shoulder by the Chiefs' Steven
Nelson, but the damage was already done, and the 49ers' franchise quarterback
was carted off to the locker room."We fear an ACL," 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan
said. "We'll find out for sure tomorrow."The 49ers (1-2) trailed 35-7 late in
the first half before rallying behind Garoppolo, who threw for 251 yards and two
touchdowns. Matt Breida added 90 yards rushing and Alfred Morris scored on the
ground as San Francisco clawed to within 35-24 late in the third quarter.It was
still 38-24 when the 49ers produced a grinding, 17-play drive that wiped out
more than half the fourth quarter. But it ended in a strange sequence that began
with Garoppolo taking the shot from Nelson along the sideline, rather than
stepping out of bounds and avoiding the hit."I think that was his fault," said
Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston, who was trailing the play. "I pray he's not
hurt
Nick Mullens 49ers Jersey , it's nothing serious, but as a quarterback you should step out of bounds. It's only an inch. An inch wouldn't have made a
difference. You got the yardage. You need to be smart."C.J. Beathard came in on
third-and-goal and threw what appeared to be a touchdown pass to George Kittle,
but it was wiped out by offensive pass interference with 5:17 left in the
game.Rather than go for it on fourth down at the Kansas City 25, Shanahan
elected to kick a field goal — keeping it a two-possession game. Then the 49ers
kicked it deep rather than try an onside kick, and the Chiefs picked up a first
down by penalty before Hunt churned for two more and put the game away."That's
our time in the game," Reid said. "You take a lot of pride in it. They're going
backward and we're going forward and it's all good."MORE ON GAROPPOLOShanahan
acknowledged a quarterback move is likely, though Beathard is line to start next
week in Los Angeles. The 49ers' only other QB is Nick Mullins, a member of the
practice squad. "I just talked to (Garoppolo) in the training room," Beathard
said. "I told him I'll be praying for him and I love him and he just told me to
lead these guys."FOSTER'S FRUSTRATION49ers LB Reuben Foster had a rough return
from a two-game suspension for violating the league's personal conduct and
substance abuse policy. Foster was hit with a personal foul for hitting Mahomes
as the QB was sliding in the first half, Kelce beat him in pass defense, and the
young linebacker left early in the fourth quarter when he was shaken up on a
tackle.INJURIES49ers: The defensive backfield was in tatters by the fourth
quarter. CB Richard Sherman left with a calf injury
Nick Mullens Jersey , FS Adrian Colbert hurt his ankle and backup CB Tarvarius Moore left with a wrist injury. SS Jaquiski Taylor was already
inactive with a shoulder injury.Chiefs: LB Dee Ford left with a groin injury in
the fourth quarter. He will have an MRI exam Monday ... Conley briefly left with
a right ankle injury, though he returned to make his TD catch. ... SS Eric Berry
(heel) remained inactive for the third straight week.UP NEXT49ers: Play the
Chargers in Los Angeles next Sunday.Chiefs: Visit the AFC West-rival Broncos
next Monday night.There’s nothing funny about what we watched today I’m
speechless. The 49ers are in a rebuild and have injury issues, but they
shouldn’t have issues against the Arizona Cardinals. Not that Arizona Cardinals
team we saw. I said if they couldn’t win, there was some things to go under the
microscope and I’ll say—some things need looked at. The 49ers need to show some
kind of progress from their first year to the second year. The question begs to
be asked: Where is it? They don’t look anything like they do in 2017, in many
ways they look worse. But it’s Sunday, we’ve got a long week until Monday Night
Football happens, so let’s try and get our mind off this blunder. Let’s watch
Super Mario troll people. I’m about out of RKO’s from out of nowhere, so we’ll
move on to another guilty pleasure. The 49ers rebuild may take longer than we
anticipated, but I’m curious what this would look like if we had Jimmy Garoppolo
around. Stay faithful my friends.
