For the second time this season, the (5-0) Kansas City Chiefs are facing a rematch against one of last season’s postseason opponents — in this case, the team they defeated in last February’s Super Bowl LVIII: the (3-3) San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs won the first of these games — a 27-20 win over the Baltimore Ravens, whom they defeated in 2023’s AFC Championship — and will have one more 2023 postseason rematch when they face the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
First quarter
The Chiefs won the opening coin toss, choosing to defer their decision to the second half.
