After a sluggish first quarter, the first score was once again a 55-yard field goal, and Mecole Hardman continues to be a 49ers killer.

The 49ers were without three of their top playmakers for much of the matchup, with running back Christian McCaffrey (Achilles) and wide receivers Brandon Aiyuk (knee) and Deebo Samuel (illness) all sidelined by the end of the day. Their final touchdown, a sneak by Purdy, came with under two minutes to play.

The Chiefs aren’t the only team with issues at wide receiver. The 49ers were down Jauan Jennings, who didn’t play, Deebo Samuel, who left the game early with an illness, and Brandon Aiyuk with an injury. Former Chief Chris Conley was the best remaining option.
