The San Francisco 49ers lost 38-27 to the Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday and dropped to 1-2 on the season. Worse than the defeat was the loss of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for the season. He likely suffered an ACL injury late in the game. The 49ers await the results of an MRI to officially determine the extent of the injury.

Below is a mix of key player and team stats provided by the NFL, the 49ers, and Pro Football Focus.

Key Player Statistics


Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 20-of-30 passes for 251 yards with two touchdowns before his injury. He finished the game with a passer rating of 114.7 — the third highest mark of his career during a start.

Garoppolo was under pressure during 20 of his 36 dropbacks. He had a passer rating of 141.9 when throwing from a clean pocket and 81.2 while under pressure.

Tight end George Kittle led the team in receiving with five catches for 79 yards.

Wide receiver Marquise Goodwin and fullback Kyle Juszczyk each had touchdown receptions. Juszczyk's was the longest touchdown reception of his career.

Running back Matt Breida was the 49ers' leading rusher with 90 yards in 10 attempts. He is tied with Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliot for the NFL's leading rusher with 274 yards.

Running back Alfred Morris recorded his first rushing touchdown with the 49ers. He finished the game with 67 yards on 14 carries with the score.

Defensive lineman Arik Armstead and safety Antone Exum each came away with sacks of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Sunday was Exum's first start with the 49ers.

Rookie linebacker Fred Warner had five run stops against the Chiefs. His 16.7 percent run stop percentage this season is tied with rookie Kenny Young of the Baltimore Ravens for the second highest among qualifying linebackers. No linebacker has more run stops this season than Warner's 12.

Kicker Robbie Gould connected on two field goal attempts (39 and 35 yards out). He has made 31 consecutive field goal attempts, which extends the franchise record.

Gould missed his first extra point attempt since Week 16 of last year against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Key Team Statistics


Despite the loss, the 49ers ended the game with more net yards. They had 406 compared to the Chiefs' 384.

178 of the yards came from the running game compared to the Chiefs' 77.

Both teams' times of possession were nearly dead even. The 49ers controlled the ball for 29:59 while the Chiefs did so for 30:01.

The 49ers finished the game with 14 penalties for 147 yards — the most penalty yardage since a franchise record 178 on October 4, 1998.

The 49ers defense had 17 missed tackles against the Chiefs, giving the unit a total of 43 this season, which leads the NFL.

49ers-Texans player-for-player trade fell apart on Tuesday

Defensive tackle Arik Armstead is now a free agent after the San Francisco 49ers released him on Wednesday. However, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports that he was almost headed to the Houston Texans. A source told Barrows that on Tuesday, the 49ers had a deal in place to trade Armstead for Texans defensive tackle Maliek Collins. However, the deal fell apart when the Texans agreed to terms with edge rusher Danielle Hunter. Despite the failed trade, the 49ers ended up acquiring Collins in exchange for a seventh-round pick, the No. 232 overall selection in next month's draft. Collins is the second defensive tackle San Francisco has added this week, with the

Three Key Defensive Free Agents to Make the 49ers Better in 2024

By Wayne P. Brown

Although the defense finished as one of the top defenses in 2023 under Steve Wilks, the San Francisco 49ers struggled in a few areas, like stopping the run, finishing the pass rush with sacks, and surrendering explosive plays. In this editorial, we will look to find three defensive players to keep the 49ers defense among the elite. The 49ers have 22 players scheduled to become free agents, 12 being defensive players. The team must address the edge, interior, and cornerback positions. Improving these three areas will keep the 49ers on top. Three defensive ends—Chase Young, Randy Gregory, and Clelin Ferrell—are set to become free agents. Per Pro Football Focus (PFF), the trio totaled 74 pressures (11 sacks, 17 hits, and 46 hurries).

49ers reportedly sought No. 17 overall pick plus Jaguars player for Brandon Aiyuk

Mia O'Brien, a reporter for Jacksonville radio station 1010XL, was the first to link San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. A new report from O'Brien sheds light on the asking price for the star wide receiver, who is entering his fifth-year option. According to O'Brien, the 49ers sought the No. 17 overall pick, plus wide receiver Zay Jones, in exchange for Aiyuk. However, it seems this asking price was deemed too high for the Jaguars, who would have had to part ways with these assets and commit significant money to Aiyuk in the form of a contract

49ers announce team has re-signed Chris Conley

By Marc Adams
Mar 16

The San Francisco 49ers announced today that the team has re-signed WR Chris Conley to a one-year deal. Conley spent 2023 with the 49ers but only appeared in eight games. He finished the regular season with three receptions for 69 yards. But Conley saved his best for the postseason. Although he only had two receptions for 35 yards, his catches came in big moments. In the Divisional Playoff Game against the Green Bay Packers, with the 49ers trailing 21-17, Conley brought in a 17-yard catch that moved the ball to Green Bay's 26-yard line. The 49ers scored the winning touchdown on the drive. Then in Super Bowl LVIII, Conley hauled in an 18-yard reception in the first quarter to help set up a Jake Moody field goal. But perhaps Conely's biggest plays in the Super Bowl
