That gamble paid off as Kittle was held to a pedestrian 4 catches at 8 yards per.Solution= Coverage LB paired w/Safety helpKC also uses the ground game effectively with 29 rushes which controlled the clock. In turn it kept the SF Defense on the field (33:13.. which they are not accustomed to). Those rushes included a big-bodied 230lb KC QB scrambling out of pressures for several key first downs. Mahomes rushed 9 times for just 29 yards, but more importantly he converted several key first downs while avoiding the pass rush and maintained control of that clock, thus allowing his own Defense adequate rest.Garappollo had a fair amount of pressure from a good KC pass rush, that inevitably kept him in check. He had just 2 passes of 20+ and a long play of just 26 yards (Bourne)Solution=Increase interior pressure from iDL and ILB to add to adequate Edge Pressure </blockquote>
