Football 301 Playbook: Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' offense isn't what it used to be, but it's still a tough matchup for 49ers

Much has been made about the Kansas City Chiefs' pass catchers: The Hollywood Brown signing (and injury), the Xavier Worthy draft pick, Rashee Rice’s emergence (and then unfortunate injury), Travis Kelce’s usage arguments and JuJu Smith-Schuster partying like it’s 2018.
