The Chiefs gained just 193 yards through the air. While 193 yards is a fairly good performance, it’s certainly below par for the league’s leading offense. Green completed less than 50% of his passes, and did not complete a pass longer than 24 yards.

Amazingly 134 passing yards were gained by one receiver, Eddie Kennison, but Kennison was matched up against rookie Mike Rumph for most of the day. Rumph has been subject to exploitation all season long, and he can be more effective if he plays up on the receiver as opposed to giving them a cushion. His development is coming a long, but at a slower pace than that of Plummer’s and Webster’s in their first year of the 49ers, because he sees less action on the field - allowing him to play up on a receiver could really help in this area, as could curling a safety to help him in coverage as the 49ers did on the Chiefs final series.
