The San Francisco 49ers were pressured by the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday and head coach Kyle Shanahan did not mince his words after the game.

After the 28–18 loss in the Super Bowl rematch, Shanahan had a blunt review of his team’s performance, saying, “There’s no way to sugarcoat this. We took a hit today.”

That’s certainly one way of putting it.

The 49ers allowed the Chiefs to rush for 184 yards on 39 attempts, an average of 4.7 yards per carry. They contained Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City’s passing game, allowing just 145 yards and forcing two Mahomes interceptions. But the Chiefs rolled ahead of the huddle, scoring four rushing touchdowns.

Meanwhile, Kansas City’s defense forced three interceptions from Brock Purdy and held Jordan Mason to 58 yards rushing.

It wasn’t a pretty game, but the Chiefs seemed to thrive in the ugliness as they improved to 6-0. The loss dropped the Niners to 3-4 and now they will likely be without star receiver Brandon Aiyuk for a while as Shanahan fears he has torn his ACL.

It’s been a bad week for the 49ers and Shanahan knows it.
