Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7 as they hope to bounce back from last week’s loss.
The Kansas City Chiefs will face the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7 and both teams are coming off a loss from last week. Both these teams are Super Bowl contenders, and getting a win here against a strong opponent will boost their confidence for the rest of the season.
The 49ers recently acquired star running back Christian McCaffrey and having him has bolstered their squad further as they already had a formidable roster. The Chiefs will also look to make some moves before the trade deadline ends as they will also look to improve their squad for an important stretch of time in their pursuit of another Super Bowl in the Patrick Mahomes era.

If the 49ers want to defeat this strong Chiefs team, then their star player Deebo Samuel needs to have a big game. A player with Samuel’s versatility will be tough to guard for the Chiefs and he could have a big game.
Although the 49ers have a great team, the Chiefs will be expected to get the job done and repeat the result of Super Bowl 2020 in this game, as Mahomes would love to play the 49ers once again.
