Defending champion Chiefs and runner-up 49ers are going head-to-head again, the first time since February, when the two franchises met in Super Bowl LVIII. 

Kansas City enjoyed a bye last week after advancing to 5-0 with a win against the Saints in Week 5. All eyes have been on the Chiefs as they attempt a three-peat this year, and they haven't faltered yet, despite several key injuries and a slow start for tight end Travis Kelce. 

The injury-riddled 49ers have struggled a bit, dropping disappointing divisional games to both the Rams and Cardinals. However, they redeemed themselves last week with a 36-24 victory over the Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. 

With Deebo Samuel and George Kittle returning from recent injuries, San Francisco started resembling their old powerhouse squad. Will it be enough to compete with KC this week?
