NFL Week 7 Recap: Kansas City Chiefs 28, San Francisco 49ers 18

The Kansas City Chiefs continue to bully their opponents in myriad ways, and the San Francisco 49ers are the latest victims. It's not dominant, and it's not pretty. But it has led the Chiefs to a 6-0 record.

The Chiefs picked off Brock Purdy three times and held him to a 54.8% completion rate in a 28-18 win in Week 7. Despite Patrick Mahomes‘ two interceptions and few passing yards, Kansas City leaned on his legs and other runners to render San Francisco irrelevant.

The Chiefs are now the NFL's lone unbeaten, while the 49ers move below .500 at 3-4.
